Proof Of Compliance (POC) Certificate
This website proudly displays a POC Certificate issued by Kaffeinated Kodemonkey, verifying adherence to the Colorado State Bill HB21-1110, WCAG 2.1, and Section 508 accessibility standards.
The POC Certificate serves as a valuable tool for evaluating a product's accessibility. It's important to recognize that, even if a product fulfills all technical requirements, individuals with disabilities may encounter difficulties based on the nature or severity of their disability.
Conversely, a product that doesn't fully meet all technical requirements can still be highly accessible if it doesn't necessitate specific accessibility features, such as large buttons or hearing aids for those with hearing disabilities.
While achieving absolute accessibility perfection may pose challenges, many products can effectively cater to the needs of most individuals with disabilities. The POC Certificate underscores our dedication to ADA compliance and alignment with state WCAG/508 2.1 Level AA requirements.
