For Museum and Other Public Exhibits

Complaints, consent decrees, and potential lawsuits may be far more expensive and detrimental to an entity’s reputation then folding accessibility in from the start.

Let the LightHouse help you make your exhibition accessible to the 20% of the U.S. population that has a disability. Hiring the LightHouse sends the right message: that blind and visually impaired visitor’s needs, safety and right to accessible information is a priority.

Web Accessibility and UX Testing

An estimated 25.2 million adult Americans report they either “have trouble” seeing, even when wearing glasses or contact lenses, or are blind. Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act requires all websites developed, maintained, procured or used by the U.S. Federal Government to be accessible to people with disabilities. As experts in web accessibility, the LightHouse can help ensure universal access to your site.

Whether you operate a business, work in government or operate a nonprofit, our experts partner with your team to identify areas of your site that need to be updated, provide specific recommendations and support to correct each issue, and re-test as needed until your site is 100% compliant. Let us apply our years of experience to your web content.
