SiteLint is focused on creating products that follow common industry standards. This helps customers simplify their technology and get the most value out of what they already have. This commitment to standards also applies to how SiteLint approaches accessibility. SiteLint uses industry-standard technologies such as HTML, JavaScript, CSS, and WAI-ARIA to render most user interfaces, and we follow internationally-recognized accessibility standards, allowing support for a broad range of assistive technology (AT) such as screen readers, screen magnifiers, and voice recognition.

What is Digital Accessibility?
Digital accessibility refers to providing web-based information, digital content, applications, and resources that are available and used by people regardless of disability or impairment. Accessible online content provides an equal experience for all, including those with visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, and neurological disabilities or impairments. Often, people using the web or web applications need to use assistive technologies, so our site and other online content must be built properly for those devices to access all the information correctly.
What are assistive technologies?
For individuals with disabilities, various means of assistive technologies exist to aid in their access to digital information. These assistive technologies include the following: screen reading software, magnification software, speech recognition software, alternative input devices, and refreshable braille displays.
