Revize will build the website to highly conform with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines WCAG 2.1 Level AA (“WCAG 2.1 AA”) at the time of delivery while actively incorporating WCAG 2.2 AA best practices as standards evolve using current industry-recognized approaches. This includes keyboard access, semantic markup, ARIA where appropriate, color contrast, focus management, and accessible forms for the delivered templates.
Conformance does not extend to: (i) third-party modules, plug-ins or integrations not provided by Revize (e.g., payment gateways, third-party calendars, embedded third-party widgets), (ii) content authored, uploaded, or maintained by the Client (including documents such as PDFs), and (iii) legacy pages or archives unless specifically included in the Statement of Work.
CLIENT website editors are responsible for ensuring they have an understanding of WCAG compliance principles. CLIENT agrees they are responsible for the content they post and shall make reasonable efforts to avoid posting content that does not conform to these guidelines. This includes, but is not limited to, posting non-compliant PDFs, failing to include descriptive ALT descriptions on photos, etc.
CLIENT agrees and understands accessibility compliance is not a fixed or absolute standard. It is more of a spectrum rather than a pass/fail standard. Because testing tools and methodologies may produce different results, Revize and the CLIENT agree to focus on accommodating user needs and maintaining a continuing, good-faith approach to accessibility and regulatory compliance.
Revize provides tools and features designed to support website accessibility and best practices. However, Revize does not guarantee legal compliance with WCAG, ADA, or other regulations. Ongoing compliance requires active participation by CLIENT, including content management and policy decisions.
For an additional fee, Revize offers an ongoing WCAG scan and remediation service. This service will scan the website at regular intervals after the website goes live and remediate any WCAG compliance issues with an allocated bucket of additional development hours. Remediation priorities can be set by CLIENT and may include content remediation (e.g., PDFs, Flyers, etc.). Revize also includes an accessibility checker within the Revize CMS editor. This utility will alert users of suspected accessibility issues.
If PDF remediation is included in this agreement, completion time is highly dependent on the number and the complexity of PDFs.
Additional development hours may be necessary to complete remediation to CLIENT’s satisfaction and are available at a rate of $125 per hour.
Additional PDF remediation may be requested at a rate of $5 per page. 100 Minimum
PDF remediation is priced by page, not by individual file e.g., PDF of 10 pages would be billed $50
