In today’s digital age, accessibility is not just a courtesy—it’s a legal obligation. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was passed in 1990 to prohibit discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public life. Today, this includes the digital world.
When it comes to websites, ADA compliance means ensuring your digital content is accessible to everyone, including users with vision, hearing, mobility, or cognitive impairments. This is commonly achieved by aligning your site with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1.
Businesses that fail to make their websites accessible risk legal action, fines, and damage to their reputation. Fortunately, compliance is possible with audits, fixes, and ongoing monitoring.
