Honest Medical Prioritizes Inclusion with ADA-Compliant Website
Update
OCEANSIDE, Calif., June 27,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Honest Medical, a
fast-growing ecommerce site offering thousands of essential
healthcare products, announces that it has updated its website to
make it more accessible for persons with disabilities. The updates
are in accordance with new ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act)
accessibility standards.
"At Honest Medical, we believe everyone
deserves equal access to the medical supplies they need to live
healthy lives. That's why we're thrilled to announce these
significant enhancements that ensure our website is fully compliant
with ADA accessibility standards."
The standards required by Title II of the ADA follow Web Content
Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) created by the World Wide Web
Consortium (W3C). These guidelines outline best practices for
making web content more accessible and include: ensuring users can
navigate a website using the keyboard rather than a mouse; having
heading structure that enables users with accessibility tools to
easily navigate a site; and making sure all images have
captions.
Honest Medical developed its website enhancements according to
these guidelines. The changes allow persons with disabilities to
more easily shop for the health and wellness products they need by
utilizing features such as:
- Implementing tagging elements with button functionality to aid
assistive technology such as text-to-speech screen readers,
allowing users with disabilities to more easily navigate the site
and fill out forms
- Adding alt text to images and fields that describes meaning and
context, so that those with visual impairment can enable assistive
technology
- Improving menus and dropdowns to coordinate with assistive
technology
- Scaling font sizes and increasing letter spacing to aid those
with learning disabilities such as dyslexia
Honest Medical CEO Mike Greenan
said, "At Honest Medical, we believe everyone deserves equal access
to the medical supplies they need to live healthy lives. That's why
we're thrilled to announce these significant enhancements that
ensure our website is fully compliant with ADA accessibility
standards. Our commitment goes beyond meeting legal requirements —
it's about fostering an inclusive shopping experience for all our
customers, regardless of their abilities. We're proud to be at the
forefront of making online medical supplies accessible to
everyone." Greenan added that deploying the new web enhancements
also means that Honest Medical partners can feel confident about
directing their customers to the HonestMed site because it is
better able to serve all visitors.
The website ADA enhancements are available now by visiting
