Colorado's New Accessibility Law: Ensuring Inclusive Design for Government Agencies
Achieving WCAG 2.1 AA Compliance
As a human-centered design consultancy, Anthro-Tech is committed to helping organizations create accessible and usable technology for all customers, including those with disabilities. With the implementation of Colorado's new accessibility law, HB21-1110, government agencies must ensure their digital platforms and content meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards by July 1, 2024.
What does this mean for government agencies?
