It’s the ‘ADA’ act and WCAG which requires businesses to make accommodations for people with disabilities in ALL their web and digital content.
ADA is an acronym for American’s With Disability Act and WCAG, Website Content Accessibility Guidance. In short, you need to be ADA & WCAG compliant, because authorities aren’t messing around one bit.
If you think it’s a game, let me assure you that it’s not. Everything is coming under scrutiny; websites, apps, and pdfs included. All of these are susceptible to lawsuits and litigation.
At ADA Accessible Sites, we can upgrade your site or deliver beautifully designed websites that are fully ADA and Unruh compliant, ensuring accessibility for all users and protecting your business from legal risks.
We do the heavy lifting by keeping the process simple, integration easy and providing ongoing support. Together we can create an inclusive, high-performing site that not only looks great but also supports your business growth in a compliant and efficient manner.
Inclusive Access for All
1. Accessibility Audit: Evaluation of the current
website to identify accessibility issues and determine what needs to be addressed to meet compliance standards.
2. WCAG Guidelines Implementation: Adherence to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, which is widely recognized as the standard for web accessibility. This involves ensuring:
Alternative text for images
Keyboard navigability
Proper use of headings and semantic
HTML Sufficient color contrast
Descriptive link text
3. Accessible Media: Ensuring that all multimedia content, such as videos and audio, have text alternatives, like captions and transcripts, to make them accessible to users with hearing impairments.
4. Responsive Design: A design that adapts to different devices and screen sizes, ensuring that the site is usable on desktops, tablets, and smartphones.
6. Forms Accessibility: Making sure all forms are
accessible, with clear labels, instructions, and error messages, and they can be easily navigated by keyboard.
7. Regular Monitoring and Updates: Implementing
ongoing monitoring to keep the website compliant as content and technology evolve. This includes periodic audits and updates as necessary.
8. Accessibility Statement and Feedback Mechanism: Providing an accessibility statement on the website that outlines your commitment to accessibility and provides a way for users to report any issues they encounter.
9. Support: Offering support for addressing any
issues that arise.
Including these elements in your ADA compliance package will help ensure that your website is accessible to users and compliant with relevant regulations, reducing the risk of legal issues and enhancing user experience for greater numbers.
In today's digital world, ensuring your website is accessible to all users is not just a best practice—it's a legal necessity. As awareness and enforcement of accessibility laws grow, businesses of all sizes are facing increased scrutiny and potential legal action for non-compliance. Don't let your brand be caught off guard.
1. Rising Legal Actions
Over the past few years, there has been a significant rise in lawsuits filed against companies with websites that do not comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and other accessibility regulations like the Unruh Civil Rights Act. These lawsuits often allege that websites are not accessible to users with disabilities violating their rights to equal access.
2. High-Profile Cases
Several well-known brands such as H&R Block have faced legal challenges due to inaccessible websites. For instance, a notable case involved Domino's Pizza, where a blind customer sued the company because their website and mobile app were not compatible with screen reading software. The case highlighted the importance of digital
accessibility and set a precedent for future lawsuits.
3. Financial and Reputational Risks
Non-compliance can lead to substantial financial penalties and settlement costs. For example, the Unruh Civil Rights Act stipulates damages starting at $4,000 per violation. Beyond financial implications, failing to address accessibility can damage a brand’s reputation, eroding customer trust and loyalty.
4. Proactive Compliance
To mitigate these risks, businesses are encouraged to proactively ensure their websites adhere to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. Implementing these standards can significantly reduce the likelihood of legal action and demonstrate a commitment to inclusivity and equal access for all users.
By addressing accessibility issues now, businesses not only protect themselves from potential lawsuits but also expand their reach to a broader audience, enhancing user experience and fostering a more inclusive
digital space.

ADA Accessibility Sites is a program designed to help website owners ensure their sites comply with ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) regulations and WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines). Our services help make websites more accessible for individuals with disabilities, avoiding potential penalties and expanding access to a broader audience.
If you come across a website that appears to lack accessibility features, such as the ability to enlarge text for people with poor vision, you can refer the site to us by submitting the URL. If the site owner signs up for our services, you earn a $100 reward.
Websites that lack features such as text enlargement, keyboard navigation, screen reader compatibility, or color contrast adjustments are considered non-compliant with accessibility standards. These features help ensure that individuals with various disabilities can access the website.
A simple test is to check if the site allows text enlargement or has options to improve readability. If these features are missing, the site may not fully comply with ADA and WCAG standards. You can submit these websites for review through our referral program.
You can submit a referral by visiting our website and filling out the referral form, including the URL of the non-compliant website. We will review the information and reach out to the website owner regarding a site upgrade.
If the website owner you referred signs up with us and completes the purchase of a compliance package, we will process your $100 referral reward. Payment will be issued within 14 days after the transaction is finalized.
Our services include a comprehensive audit of the website to identify accessibility issues, recommendations for ADA and WCAG compliance, and implementation guidance. Our goal is to make the website accessible for users with visual, auditory, or mobility disabilities.
We provide a thorough compliance check and offer solutions to address accessibility issues, but compliance depends on the website owner implementing these solutions or engaging us to do them. We ensure all recommendations align with ADA and WCAG standards to help achieve compliance..
