A POC Certificate is a valuable tool for assessing the accessibility of a product. It's worth noting that, even if a product meets all technical requirements, users with disabilities may still face challenges based on the nature or severity of their disability.

Conversely, a product that doesn't fully conform to all technical requirements can still be highly accessible if it doesn't require specific accessibility features, such as large buttons or hearing aids for individuals with hearing disabilities.

While achieving absolute accessibility perfection may be challenging, many products can effectively serve most people with disabilities. The POC Certificate reflects our commitment to ADA compliance and conformity with state WCAG/508 2.1 Level AA requirements.

Kaffeinated Kodemonkey helps clients meet state and WCAG requirements, providing documentation to confirm compliance with WCAG criteria, and ensuring your product meets State ADA compliance requirements.

We're dedicated to creating Accessibility-Driven Websites. Our team collaborates closely with the Rio Blanco Water Conservancy District to ensure this website is accessible to all audiences and adheres to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 and Section 508 requirements for Level AA standards.

Proof of Compliance Certificate Documents:

• Accessibility Statement
• Accessibility Conformance Report

The certification process consists of an A11y Audit and Manual Evaluation.

1. A11y Audit & Evaluation: An Accessibility scan is conducted to set a baseline for the manual evaluation. A Certified A11y Developer verifies results from the audit scan through a manual evaluation using the DHS Trust Tester process to create an A11y Audit Report.
2. Remediation: The client is working with Kaffeinated Kodemonkey to maintain the site and remedy any issues that arise.
3. Renewal: The client has agreed to continue renewing the POC Certificate yearly.
