    Meet ADA Compliance and Reduce Risk

    A growing roster of businesses have been snared by ADA lawsuits targeting websites. The goal of the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is removing barriers preventing a disabled person from accessing facilities, services, and benefits akin to a non-disabled person. While businesses have made physical adjustments such as installing wheelchair ramps, many don’t realize their websites also need to meet ADA website compliance.

    The World Wide Web Consortium (W3) has published standards for website accessibility that Endertech is well versed in.

    Does ADA apply to small businesses?

    Businesses such as Netflix and Beyonce’s media company have already faced ADA compliance lawsuits. The current administration’s decision to stop drafting rules for website ADA compliance leaves the marketplace vulnerable to a potential tidal wave of legal action. The best protection is good prevention. Request our ADA analysis today to identify the changes needed to make your website compliant. Avoid a potential lawsuit.

    What are the benefits other than risk reduction?

    Apart from the obviously time and cost involved with any legal action, an ADA compliant website that adheres to high accessibility standards is actually an improved marketing vehicle!

    After all… remember, GoogleBot is blind too! GoogleBot can only see the text content of your pages and so properly structured HTML, text descriptions of images and proper page structure actually make Google search happy.
