Frequently asked questions
What is a digital experience policy?
One policy for everything you publish online. Most organizations have an accessibility policy and nothing else. This one also covers AI and search readiness, security, usability, and plain language, names an owner, and says how you measure it. The ScanGov Standards are the baseline.
Why cover more than accessibility?
Because people do not experience these as separate things. A page a screen reader can use but a search engine cannot find, or that reads at a college level, still fails them. One policy with one owner and one scan is easier to run than five.
Which laws does it cite?
You choose. State and local governments can cite the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Title II web rule, which requires Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 AA. Federal agencies can cite Section 508. Anyone can cite the Plain Writing Act and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) memorandum M-23-22. Confirm your deadlines on ada.gov.
How do you measure compliance?
With a scan, not a statement. The policy commits you to scanning every site on a schedule and fixing failures within a set time. ScanGov already scans most U.S. government sites and publishes a public scorecard for each.
Is this legal advice?
No. It is a plain language draft for your counsel to review. Edit any section. Keep the adopted standards section so the policy stays tied to something you can measure.
Do you store what I enter?
No. The generator runs in your browser. Your answers live in the page address so you can share a link, and nothing is sent to ScanGov.
