CQL and Level Access: Creating digital experiences to accommodate the unique needs of everyone

The Level Access digital accessibility solution combines the most robust platform and deepest bench of accessibility expertise to help organizations create accessible and legally compliant websites, mobile apps, software, and other technology.

Just as ramps, braille signage, and audible pedestrian systems enable people with disabilities to navigate the physical world, accessible digital experiences remove online barriers that would otherwise prevent individuals from seamlessly navigating the digital world.  

At CQL, we are committed to working with our clients to enhance website digital accessibility consistent with WCAG standards, ADA and AODA compliance requirements. We pair the Level Access software and managed services with our team of developers and UX professionals to deliver a comprehensive approach to sustainable website accessibility. 

Why should digital accessibility matter?

  • It’s the law. Disability inclusion is a civil rights matter under the ADA and other similar global mandates. Corporations are required to ensure that their products and services are fully accessible to everyone, without discrimination. Furthermore, from 2017-2021, plaintiffs in the U.S. filed more than 14,000 web-related accessibility lawsuits.
  • It’s good for your brand.  Workplaces that prioritize the needs of individuals with disabilities improve their employee success, retention rates, and loyalty.
  • It’s good for business.  The World Health Organization estimates there are more than one billion people worldwide living with a disability, representing $1.9 trillion in purchasing power.

Recognized by Gartner and among the fastest-growing North American tech companies on the Deloitte Technology Fast 500, the Level Access platform combines the power of automation with data and analysis from manual auditing and testing, legal support, and technical training. With Level Access, CQL is armed with an all-in-one solution to monitor and manage the accessibility of every digital experience—whether a single website or a portfolio of assets. Our team remediates the surfaced issues, whether they apply to design, code, or authoring.
