Adally Review

Unless you take a proactive step to get your site to comply with the standards highlighted in the Americans with Disability Acts (ADA), Section 508, and, above all, the World Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), you might be served the next lawsuit for web accessibility compliance violation with a heavy fine to pay. With a specific focus on WCAG 2.1, ADA, and Section 508, Adally is leading your way to full website compliance with its web accessibility suite. After reading this Adally review you will know if this web accessibility solution is the best one for your needs.

By combining both automation and manual remediation, Adally ranks with hybrid web accessibility solution providers. At Adally, the compliance procedure starts with web scanning to determine the state of your site. This inaugural scan is carried out only on your homepage to give an inkling of your website’s compliance status. Adally provides this service for free and the process could take up to 48 hours to have the report sent to your mailbox. Bear in mind that the target of this first-time scan is a pure assessment and does not get your site anywhere close to compliance. Therefore, it would be self-deluding to assume that free web scanning will translate into compliance. Besides, the homepage is just a portion of the entire website — it does not speak for the rest of the site. When your report is delivered and you feel like doing the real task, Adally takes it on from there.

In order to get a certification of compliance, there might be a need to take the next step. This requires rigorous scrutiny of your website to dig up real compliance issues. Adally provides a deep scan and audit on each page present on the website. The exhaustive audit generates a comprehensive report of the tiniest bits of accessibility violations present within your site. Within the report are the exact location of the error and an accurate description of the necessary steps to rectify them. This way, Adally is showing you what to do, how to do it, and where to do it.

Compliance certification comes afterward. Adally does not present you with a certificate of compliance until it has ascertained that contents on your site adhere to the best practices. Either a pre-launch audit or remediated website stands a chance for certification. This process is similar to virtually all other brands. It is only after a team of experts conducts an error-free site audit that a certificate is offered.

Adally presents two broad options of web accessibility solutions for its customers. Business solutions have under it a host of tools that are handy, easy to install, easy to use, and require no technicality. Adally’s suite of Digital ADA compliance solutions includes a free ADA Homepage scan, free ADA on-site widget for effortless navigation, Adally’s IAX-rt digital monitoring software, customized accessibility statement, and accessibility compliance scan and audit. Developer solutions, on the other hand, include a list of inclusion and accessibility tools for web developers who are looking to build inclusive, accessible, and compliant websites. This set of services is a more effective and efficient way of wiring accessibility into the website framework from the ground up.

Adally’s IXA-Standard solution serves a two-in-one purpose of helping developers audit existing websites for accessibility errors and eventual remediation. At the same time, website developers can rely on this solution to build new websites from the scratch regardless of the platform they are skilled at.

To achieve all-year-round compliance, continuous scanning, monitoring, and remediation are required. What if there was a way to simplify these processes and conserve time and cost? A stunning innovation from Adally is its Parallel Website Framework which allows customers to replicate an existing website in an ADA compliant version without incurring the cost of building an additional website. This solution is analogous to eSSENTIAL ACCESSIBILITY‘s Brand Disability Channel.

IAX-Parallel

IAX-Parallel, as Adally styled it, is a fascinating way to ensure equal access to digital content at all times without barriers and without unnecessary strain on website owners. So, when a client opts in for this solution, Adally empowers them to create a clone of their existing website which is hosted on its IAX Cloud. The IAX cloud is singly created for this purpose. It was designed with ADA compliance protocol in mind. On the main page of the regular website version, a link is embedded to direct users to this page whose sole job is to deliver a seamless digital experience to end-users.

Thus, getting on this platform is the same as hardwiring compliance into the web development processes, and eliminates fears of a compliance violation. In fact, one can get this done and go to bed without fear or worries of a website that might have fallen overnight out of compliance.

Although Adally’s approach to web accessibility is similar to what is common on the market, a touch of difference could be seen in some of its approaches to accessibility. As popular with other solutions which require clients to install a single line of code to install and launch a web compliance journey, Adally also has this simple process for users to follow. The slight deviation from the norm, however, is that Adally installs a unique code on every page instead of just one. There is interesting wisdom behind and a great benefit to this: having every web page imbued with a unique code takes compliance to the next level in effectiveness and efficiency. As soon as a violation occurs on any of the existing pages, an automatic notification is triggered and reported to experts via email. This allows Adally to monitor web compliance from time to time and to identify threats in real-time.

In line with the common practice, Adally offers a free accessibility suite. This on-site accessibility widget is composed of tools carefully selected to aide web navigation, incorporating the standards of the WCAG 2.1, ADA and Section 508.

Installing Adally’s free accessibility widget is as easy as spelling your name. There are two ways to do this depending on the CMS platform your website is hosted on. It must be quickly added that Adally’s accessible toolbar is platform agnostic. That is, it functions perfectly on every platform including, but definitely not limited to, WordPress, Weebly, SquareSpace, Wix, Shopify, etc. To generate the magic code, Adally demands that you indicate interest through the “Get Free Code” button on its website. You are requested to fill out a short form including your website address, after which a code pops up to install on your website. For those using WordPress, a link comes up on the screen to download Adally’s WordPress plugin. It is that simple!

Of web accessibility solutions out there, Adally is one of such brands that has decided not to disclose its service charge. Unlike Equalweb, UserWay, AccessiBe, and OnlineADA which all have price tags on their services and products, Adally requires a foot in before discussing price with potential customers.

So, how does one get to purchase a plan or jump on a service they do not have an idea of its cost? The answer is simple. Adally believes that web accessibility and compliance journey are best undertaken together. Alone you can work fast and together you can walk far seems to be the guiding principle regarding pricing.

Therefore, to begin the compliance marathon the right way, Adally wants to hear from potential clients first. This might be a good way to ensure each customer gets their needs met. It also adds an air of uniqueness to service delivery. There is the elimination of one-size-fits-all.

Each and every service offered by Adally begins with a request for Demo. After you might have submitted your request which requires your name, website URL, company name, and email address, Adally gives you a call to discuss your needs. In all, Adally claims its prices are decent.
