Is your website ADA compliant?
If you're confused about ADA website compliance, you're not alone. ADA compliance is short for the Americans with Disabilities Act Standards for Accessible Design. What that means is that all electronic information and technology—i.e., your website—must be accessible to those with disabilities, including visual impairment, mental impairment, as well as manual dexterity issues, such as cerebral palsy or dyslexia. If your site doesn't comply with these standards, your business could have negative consequences: higher insurance premiums and even legal penalties.
Businesses have strong incentives to maintain digital compliance, and the accessible design saves money over time and improves the key metrics that drive successful websites. However, most organizations adopt accessible practices to maintain compliance with the ADA and other nondiscrimination laws.
