Accessible by design
--------------------
Adding chat to your website can make it more accessible, but this only works if you choose messaging tools that are created to include people with disabilities.
Olark's platform is third-party tested and certified by a third-party to comply with WCAGÂ 2.1 AA standards. This means that the chat widget on your website _and_ the software your team uses to reply to incoming messages will work for disabled people, not against them.

### Creative Bag
"Don't be overwhelmed by the idea of jumping into chat and the automated bot world. CoPilot was just simple and easy, not intimidating."
Lauren Rotman
Director of E-Commerce, Creative Bag
### University of Montana
"Olark has helped us refine our web presence, especially over time. We had metrics of where people were going on our website, but not whether the information was the right information for them."
Joe Hickman
Registrar, University of Montana
### FeneTech Software
"When you're looking at software for your company, you want to read and digest before you are reached out to... Adjusting our automation settings was a game changer. We see fewer chats now, but more valuable chats."
