Accessibility Adjustments Help

Toggle High Contrast

This button will darken the page's background color to black while making all text white. This high contrast will make it easier to read the website's content.

Toggle Page Zoom

This button will increase the size of all elements on the page.

Toggle Focus State

This button adds a visible focus state to all interactive elements when using the keyboard. This allows the user to know exactly where they are on a site while tabbing through with a keyboard. Note: this will only affect sites that do not currently have visible focus states.

Toggle Link Highlights

This button will add an outline to all links and buttons on a page that a user can interact with.

Accessibility Checker Help

Check Images

This triggers a check of all images on a page for either an 'alt', 'title', or an 'aria-label' attribute. Images that are purely decorative or do not include any information to convey to the user do not need alt text. In these cases, the alt attribute should still be present but should be left empty. Our checker will still flag empty alts as an error just in case.

Check Color Contrast

This triggers a check of all text to ensure that it's color has a high enough contrast against the color of the background it is on. In some cases our checker will flag contrast errors for text that is on top of an image or when either the text or the background element has a position of 'absolute'. In these cases it is up to the site administrator's discretion to determine if the text is legible.

Check Links & Buttons

This triggers a check of all the page's links and buttons. Links and buttons without text or an aria-label describing what the link or button accomplishes will fail. Without text (including hidden screen reader only text) or an aria-label, assistive technology will not be able to determine the purpose of the link/button.

Check For Duplicate IDs

This triggers a search for all IDs on a page. Duplicate IDs will be flagged as an error. Duplicate ID errors are known to cause problems for assistive technologies when they are trying to interact with content. SVGs tend to be a major source of this failure. It's beneficial to remove all IDs from SVGs before placing them on a page.

Baltimore City School District

Under contract with Digicon Corporation, Ignition72 had the opportunity to design and build a new City Schools website that welcomes all users on any device to a visually positive and robust new website. This site includes important tools like the School Comparison, where kids and parents can explore various school options. We had to ensure that the site was multi-lingual and accessible, while empowering the School District to manage, control and update all aspects of the site.

Widener University Law Schools

Our partnership with Widener University led to the building of new websites for two law schools at once, with separate identities, functionality, and content.

HABC

The Housing Authority of Baltimore City supports over 19,500 households, providing support and funding to ensure that the city continues to have affordable housing and vibrant spaces with strong community partnerships.

Social Security Advisory Board

Founded in 1994 as a bipartisan agency to provide advice and recommendations to the President and Congress on issues such as Disability Insurance and Supplemental Security Income programs, the Social Security Advisory Board (SSAB) was getting hundreds of calls and walk-ins from people looking for the Social Security Administration (SSA), causing confusion for everyone. That’s when Ignition72 was brought in. The new website needed to be clean and professional, not only in assisting policy researchers, but also in providing clarity to the public that SSAB is not the Social Security Administration!

St. Mary’s

Founded in 1791, St. Mary’s Seminary & University is the first Catholic seminary established in the United States. Through its Center for Continuing Formation and Ecumenical Institute, St. Mary’s also provides for advanced theological study, the ongoing formation of those in ministry, and a center of preparation for missionary discipleship. I72 was proud to work with St. Mary’s to develop a site that showcased its distinct strengths, commitment to superior theological training and scholarship and the life and education of seminarians.
