ADA WEBSITE COMPLIANCE, EXPLAINED
If your website isn’t accessible, your business could be at risk — not just legally, but reputationally. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires that digital spaces, just like physical ones, be accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities.
What Does ADA Compliance Mean Online?
ADA compliance for websites means ensuring that users of all abilities can access and interact with your content. This includes:
Text alternatives for images and videos (like alt text and captions)
Keyboard navigation for users who can’t use a mouse
Readable contrast ratios and scalable text sizes
Screen reader compatibility for visually impaired visitors
These aren’t just “nice-to-have” features — they’re legal requirements that align with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), the global standard for accessibility.
Why It Matters for Your Business
A compliant website helps you:
Avoid lawsuits related to ADA noncompliance
