ADA Compliant Displays

ADA Compliant Signage: Make a Strong First Impression

Your business signage is the first point of contact for potential customers. By ensuring your signage is ADA compliant, you not only project a professional image but also create an inclusive environment. According to ADA.gov, ADA signage should feature easy-to-read fonts, proper color contrast, and if possible, Braille translations. This means that your signage should be legible for a wide range of customers. Your signage should also be mounted at the proper height and angle for easy visibility and accessibility. These modifications enable visually impaired individuals to navigate your premises independently and feel welcomed, enhancing their overall experience and boosting your business's reputation as an inclusive establishment.

Accessible Kiosks: Meeting Height & Reach Standards

Displays that meet both height and reach standards are an essential part of creating an ADA compliant shopping environment. Floor standing and wall mounted self-service kiosks have become an integral part of the shopping experience. ADA compliant kiosks are designed with thoughtful considerations, including accessible heights and reach ranges for individuals in wheelchairs, tactile and audible feedback for those with visual impairments, and intuitive interfaces for users with cognitive disabilities. By implementing kiosks with ADA compliant features, retail stores can empower shoppers of all abilities to navigate and engage with the kiosk independently, ensuring equal access to information, services, and transactions. This commitment to inclusivity not only enhances the overall customer experience but also reflects the values of your business in creating a truly accessible environment for all.
