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.
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 HonestMed.com. If you have questions about the website or products, an HonestMed Care Specialist can be reached at (833) 933-2323.
