The ADA requires websites to be accessible for individuals with disabilities. According to Forbes, in 2018 there were 1,000 lawsuits related to website accessibility. If your company does not have a clear plan for ADA compliance, there are some important things to consider.
Many organizations follow Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) which state accessible content must meet four principles:
• Perceivable.
• Operable.
• Understandable.
• Robust.
Bringing your website into accessibility compliance will likely include modifying navigation, creating alt tags, text transcripts for video, adjusting iframes, graphics, forms, reorganizing site content and more. Here is a guide for selecting web accessibility evaluation tools.
