Digital Inclusion is the Foundation of Digital Trust
Don’t let accessibility be an afterthought. Oshyn helps enterprises build and maintain inclusive digital experiences that meet WCAG standards, mitigate legal risk, and reach every user—regardless of ability.
Accessibility is More Than Compliance—It’s Good Business
A truly great digital experience doesn't exclude anyone. Website accessibility ensures that people of all abilities can navigate, understand, and interact with your brand. Beyond meeting legal requirements like the ADA and Section 508, an accessible site improves SEO, enhances usability for all visitors, and demonstrates your commitment to social responsibility. Oshyn bridges the gap between complex accessibility standards and seamless user experience.

The Clock is Ticking: Is Your Organization Ready for April 2026?
In April 2024, the Department of Justice (DOJ) issued a final rule under ADA Title II, officially codifying WCAG 2.1 Level AA as the technical standard for web and mobile accessibility. While this rule specifically targets public entities, it has set a definitive legal benchmark that the private sector is now being held to in the courts.
Whether you are a government agency, a public university, or a private enterprise, these deadlines represent a fundamental shift from "best effort" to "federal requirement".
| Entity Type | Population/Category | Compliance Deadline |
|---|---|---|
| Large Public Entities | 50,000+ residents | April 24, 2026 |
| Small Public Entities | < 50,000 residents | April 26, 2027 |
| Special District Governments | All sizes | April 26, 2027 |
| Private Sector (Title III) | Public Accomodations | Immediate / Ongoing |
Why this matters now:
For Public Entities
The April 2026 deadline is fast approaching. Compliance covers not just your website, but also mobile apps, password-protected portals, and even third-party tools provided through your site.
For Private Businesses
While Title III does not yet have a specific "calendar deadline" in the same way, the DOJ and federal courts consistently use the Title II standard (WCAG 2.1 AA) to settle litigation. Waiting for a deadline is often waiting for a demand letter.
Future-Proofing with WCAG 2.2
While the law currently points to 2.1, Oshyn recommends aiming for the newer WCAG 2.2 standards to ensure long-term resilience against evolving accessibility requirements.
