Rockville, VA - December 12, 2008 -- December 12, 2008 -- TecAccess, the leading provider of accessibility consulting, has announced a limited time discount on its award-winning accessibility assessments and discovery process in honor of this week´s release of the highly anticipated Version 2.0 of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) from the Web Accessibility Initiative of the World Wide Web Consortium.

The recent announcement by W3C will help Web designers and developers create sites that better meet the needs of all users, including people with disabilities and older users. Drawing on extensive community feedback, the WCAG 2.0 will further improve the W3C´s groundbreaking initial standard for accessible Web content. This new standard from the W3C´s Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) will advance accessibility across the full range of Web applications and Web content, such as text, images, audio, and video. Industry experts report that the WCAG 2.0 can be tested more precisely, while simultaneously allowing Web developers more flexibility and potential for innovation.

"Simply put -- WCAG 2.0 allows for more innovation because it is easy to understand and, best of all, easy to use," explained Debra Ruh, founder and chairman of TecAccess. "In honor of this milestone, we encourage all organizations - be it government or industry - to take advantage of our unique testing and consulting model that hires people with disabilities to lead the efforts towards better understanding and addressing barriers to accessing the Web."

TecAccess´ "Accessibility 2.0" promotional offering is good through February 28, 2009, and provides a 15% discount on accessibility testing, training, and remediation services. "The end result of our accessibility promotional campaign is that our customer will unequivocally realize the business advantages of reaching and better serving people with disabilities and the mature audience, a powerful demographic, that makes up half the world´s population," said Debra Ruh.

TecAccess´ employees with disabilities draw upon their unique perspective derived from facing accessibility challenges on a daily basis, and in turn use their personal experience and expertise to help others better understand practical and cost effective accessibility solutions. TecAccess relies on firsthand knowledge and experience, which results in a comprehensive suite of services that ultimately helps TecAccess´ clients with their accessibility, usability, diversity, staffing, compliance, and marketing needs. The growing IT firm has quantitatively proven that its clients -- which include everyone from Multi-National Organizations and Fortune 100s, to State, Federal, and Local government -- can and will meet their accessibility and staffing goals, maximize their ROI, expand their consumer base, avoid litigation, and tap into new markets.

"Smart organizations know that customers and stakeholders with disabilities represent an untapped demographic that is an emerging spending and employment powerhouse. As the leading provider of accessibility and workforce solutions, we connect these emerging needs, and thereby allow private industry and government to increase market share, efficiency, and productivity by reaching both customers and employees with disabilities," said Ruh.

TecAccess´ approach is to offer a suite of services, a bundled solution that addresses every organization´s increasing need to reach and better serve this growing demographic. Contact TecAccess and reference the "Accessibility 2.0" promotional package for customized solutions that address the barriers to accessing the Web experienced by people with physical, developmental, visual, auditory, and neurological disabilities, and by older Web users with accessibility needs.
