Accessibility standards

Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires that all websites be accessible to people with disabilities. The World Wide Web (W3C) Consortium's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 Level AA function as the current legal standard for website accessibility. The Home Unite Us team follows the WCAG 2.1 Level AA accessibility standard where possible.
