A QUICK OVERVIEW OF ADA COMPLIANCE

What does it mean to be ADA Compliant?

The purpose of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) law is to ensure that people with disabilities have the same rights, access and opportunities as everyone else.

The ADA Act is not just about those with physical disabilities, but requires businesses to take steps to accommodate individuals who may have difficulty communicating due to vision, hearing, or speech impairments. This includes ensuring website content can be accessed and understood by all.

How do I know if my website complies?

Most companies use a third party tool to assess their compliance because a manual audit can be timely using the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines and checklist.

There are many tools available. Our favorite is accessiBe and because of our partnership, they gave us 30% off to share with our clients.

accessiBe won’t slow down your website or disrupt your content, but it will open your company’s digital front door to a part of the population that’s ready for inclusion. Find out more here >

What happens if I don’t comply?

Failure to comply with the ADA can result in hefty penalties imposed by the government of up to $75,000 for the first ADA violation and $150,000 for any subsequent violations. In addition, individuals with disabilities who are adversely affected can also file lawsuits.
