http://WCAG%20Woman%20using%20laptop%20and%20signs

We design websites for better patient experiences and organizational success.

Creating an inclusive online experience is essential for healthcare organizations to ensure that all patients can access the care they need. ReadySites helps healthcare providers identify and resolve accessibility barriers by following the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).

Achieving full WCAG compliance requires collaboration across all teams involved in managing your healthcare site. Our team is committed to supporting this effort by identifying and addressing accessibility issues to help your website better align with WCAG standards and improve the online experience for patients with disabilities.

What is WCAG and why is it important?

WCAG, or the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, is a set of international standards designed to make websites accessible to individuals with disabilities. These guidelines cover a range of accessibility needs, including visual, auditory, cognitive and physical impairments. For healthcare organizations, adhering to WCAG is not only a best practice but a critical step toward ensuring all patients can easily access vital information, schedule appointments and communicate with your team. Starting in May 2026, healthcare websites will be required to meet WCAG AA standards. Addressing accessibility now can help your organization prepare and demonstrate a commitment to inclusivity.
