Accessibility for ICT and Digital Media
Nearly half of the most popular federal websites (48%) failed a standard accessibility test on at least one of their three most frequently visited pages, according to a recent Information Technology and Innovation Foundation study.
At Lotus Graphic Design LLC (LGD), we understand that ensuring that your documents and media are accessible to everyone – including people with disabilities – is not just a moral imperative but a legal one. Our team specializes in providing top-tier remediation services, ensuring that your digital products, content, and services are compliant with the accessibility standards set by Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act.

- Properly tagged images and tables.
- Logical reading order and navigation.
Completed test results are provided.

★ Video Captioning:
Captions are more than just text; they allow the deaf and hard of hearing to fully grasp your video’s message. LGD guarantees accurate and synchronized captions that resonate with the audio.
★ Audio Description:
For the visually impaired, understanding visual cues in videos can be tough. Our audio descriptions narrate these cues, ensuring a comprehensive viewing experience.
