ADA and WCAG – Truly Accessible Websites
As you may be aware, businesses are experiencing mounting pressure to achieve website accessibility standards in accordance with the U.S. Government’s Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). In the near future, indications are that the US Department of Justice will begin enforcing ADA Guidelines–in particular, that commercial websites must meet specific Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.0 Level AA) or potentially face litigation or fines.
Many busy institutions and businesses don’t know how to navigate the confusion. We can help.
The Puzzle of the “ADA Compliant” Website
Many web design firms claim that they will create a website that is “ADA Compliant.” Unfortunately, this claim seems to be misleading.
We have checked many of these “ADA Compliant” websites with our industry-leading accessibility scan tools and they still have a LOT of problems. Even trying to navigate some websites with a keyboard, a basic test of accessibility, reveals that these claims do not add up.
