ADA Compliance

What Is ADA?

ADA is an acronym for the “American’s with Disabilities Act,” this law provides that all web content and digital assets should be accessible to the blind, deaf, and those who must navigate by voice, screen readers or other assistive technologies.  

Unless you make necessary changes on your website to make it compliant IMMEDIATELY, you could be sued or even extorted for thousands of dollars very soon. According to stats, there are over 400 million active websites online. All of these websites are required by law to provide equal accessibility options and preferences to everyone according to the International Website Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and in the United States, ALL websites MUST be in compliance with the Americas with Disability Act(ADA).  

To be compliant, all sites must be free of barriers that would make it difficult or impossible for people with disabilities to make use of them. A non-compliant website can turn into a major problem for your business as a lawsuit, for example, could be filed against your company if people with disabilities cannot access or use your site. Even if your business didn’t intend to discriminate or exclude people with disabilities from visiting or using your website, you could pay thousands of dollars in lawsuits. That’s why finding out if your website is compliant and doing something about it is most important right now! Businesses are being sued left and right, and no one is safe right now. These lawsuits are costing business owners tens of thousands of dollars. The average ADA compliance lawsuit is $50,000.
