DESIGN
aCt provides a unique and tailored user experience that is not hindered by specific colour ratios or font sizes, as is often the case with competing services. aCt allows you to craft your website's design in a way that best suits your branding, user experience, and marketing efforts. When a user with a vision impairment enters your site, they'll use our interface to adjust the design, so it perfectly fits their needs.
COSTS
aCt offers a more cost-effective and efficient solution to website accessibility compliance than traditional methods, which most small businesses are simply not able to afford. The conventional approach requires a WCAG expert to work with at least one full-stack web developer and spend dozens of hours remediating your site. Our products and services are priced reasonably, and we focus on automating the remediation process wherever possible to reduce the time and resources required.
SOURCE CODE
aCt does not require you to provide a third-party developer full access to your databases and source code. We work with you to ensure that your needs are met while providing you with the best product possible. aCt is the better choice because it's integrated into your websites or applications using a secure, modern SaaS integration model and does not require source code access or affect it.
MAINTENANCE
Maintaining website compliance is a continuous challenge that requires code changes which not everyone can do. This can result in high retainers as well as slowed marketing efforts. aCt instantly remediates any updates, additions, or revised content to compliance using sophisticated algorithms, providing a distinct advantage over competitors.
TURNAROUND
Our plugin delivers swift and efficacious results within 48 hours so your business can stay agile in today's rapidly changing market. Whereas our competitors require extensive time and resources to implement code changes to make a website accessible, our aCt plugin works immediately upon installation and fixes inaccessible code within 48 hours. You'll receive an accessibility statement and certificate in your email upon completion.
