Overview
What is a Section 508 compliance widget?
A practical visitor-facing layer while your team works toward Section 508 and WCAG alignment.
Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act requires federal agencies and many organizations that receive federal funding to make electronic and information technology accessible. A section 508 compliance widget gives visitors immediate controls — contrast, font size, motion, language, and more — while you address underlying code barriers.
Procurement and audit teams often reference WCAG 2.1 Level AA as a technical benchmark alongside Section 508 requirements. Inclusense combines an embeddable widget with optional WCAG scans so teams can show progress and prioritize remediation.
For public-facing commercial sites, see our ADA compliance widget page. For EU markets, see our EAA compliance widget page.
