Accessible Customer Support for Every Visitor

Comm100’s customer-facing live chat interface meets WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards, so organizations can serve all visitors, including those who rely on assistive technology.

The Standard for Web Accessibility

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) are published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and provide a shared standard for making web content accessible to people with disabilities. WCAG 2.1 Level AA is the conformance level most commonly required by government regulations, university policies, and organizational accessibility commitments.

Meeting WCAG 2.1 AA means that Comm100’s chat interface is perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust for users with visual, auditory, motor, and cognitive disabilities. This includes compatibility with screen readers, keyboard navigation, sufficient color contrast, and clear focus indicators.

Compliance and Inclusion Across Regulated Sectors

Accessibility is both a legal requirement and a service commitment for many of Comm100’s target industries.

Higher education institutions receiving federal funding are required to provide accessible digital experiences under Section 508 and Title II of the ADA. Government agencies serving the public face similar requirements. Healthcare organizations must ensure that patients can access communication tools regardless of disability.

For all of these organizations, choosing a customer support platform with WCAG 2.1 AA-compliant chat ensures that the support experience does not create a barrier for any visitor. Comm100’s accessibility compliance removes this concern during vendor evaluation.
