Accessibility Content Checker

CivicPlus® provides an Accessibility Checker for the content located in the Editor, FAQs, and News Flash widgets to ensure it complies with the ADA.

Important Notes

• CivicPlus works toward WCAG 2.0 AA accessibility standards and our websites are highly compliant when they go live. However, ongoing ADA compliance and maintenance is the customer's responsibility.
• Please contact your Customer Success Manager for information regarding our AudioEye partnership.
• If you want the tool to check automatically every time, contact the CivicPlus Support team to turn that functionality on.
