Web accessibility refers to making websites usable for people with disabilities. It involves designing and developing websites in a way that people with disabilities, such as those with visual, auditory, motor, and cognitive impairments, can perceive, understand, navigate, and interact with the website and its content.

Web accessibility ensures that everyone has equal access to information and services on the web, regardless of their abilities. This includes individuals who use assistive technologies, such as screen readers, to access the web. Watch what Siri has to say about Web Accessibility.

You may know that the current legislation requires web accessibility, but also, the public’s opinion is moving in the same direction.

By making your website accessible, you can help mitigate your business's legal and financial risk, improve your SEO, demonstrate your brand is inclusive, reach out to a substantial underserved market (that has significant purchasing power), and do the right thing.

While we monitor trends in the industry, we are now alerting you as this has become the expected standard by law. We’ve also noticed the increasing lawsuit trends and the social awareness about inclusivity in the industry. We looked for a solution to solve this issue and make your website compliant, and now that we have found it, we bring it to your attention.

Companies of all sizes are being impacted. The size of a company doesn't matter.

You're confusing ADA title 1 with ADA title 3. Plaintiffs go after every business size entirely indiscriminately. We witness this daily. Smaller businesses are more often targeted because they lack the resources to fight these threats and are quicker to settle out of court because litigation is too expensive.

Whether you sell things on your website or not, you need an accessible website.

Many websites are purely informational but are still immensely valuable to your users, some of whom are people with disabilities. The legislation makes no distinction between an ecommerce site and an informational site. They must all be accessible.

The wave of lawsuits and the legislation surrounding accessibility is only increasing. Take the time to mitigate the potential financial and reputational expenses that could come later down the road, and then you’ll realize there’s no better time to deal with it than now.

The web accessibility trend is growing exponentially, and doing nothing in the face of this is no longer an option. Pragmatic solutions must be evaluated to mitigate the risk that all website owners face now. The average settlement is around $30,000. It's time to take action in order to manage the risk instead of ignoring this growing threat and waiting for a crisis to emerge. It is also essential to know that the accessibility tax credit is a game-changer for budget-conscious businesses and effectively reduces the cost of accessibility expenditure by anywhere from 20% to 50%.

Much of this negative press is driven by people who are heavily invested in the manual remediation industry, and such disruptive technologies will always attract detractors. Many tools on the market, especially the free ones, fail to meet compliance levels. People tend to slap any of these basic tools on their websites, thinking they are accessible, which is the farthest thing from the truth. Over 80% of the WCAG requirements speak to elements of a website that help users who rely on assistive technologies (i.e., screen reader), which cannot be resolved using these tools.
