Our accessibility experts provide training on a periodic basis for The Backyard Outlet developers and 3rd party development teams on WCAG 2.0 AA and Section 508 conformance.

On an ongoing basis, The Backyard Outlet will have periodic website accessibility audits, as well as end-user accessibility testing and evaluation of TheBackyardOutlet.com, conducted in order to provide prioritized feedback regarding conformance with WCAG 2.0 AA standards.
