ADA Compliant Website?

Since 2020, I have been hearing a lot more buzz about websites needing to be ADA compliant and there has also been an increase in the amount of lawsuits against companies. This can be very concerning for business owners and organizations because the last thing you want is a lawsuit on your hands.

What is ADA compliance? It is ensuring that your website meets the requirements for the American Disabilities Act, which requires your website to be accessible to those with disabilities. There are three different levels of compliance – Level A, level AA, and level AAA – each one addressing deeper issues with becoming compliant.

I’ve had website projects that I have successfully made ADA compliant. Here are 2 examples: lifestylemedicine.org and kilts-n-stuff.com.

You can assess your website by going to accessibe.com and clicking Free Audit. Type your website into the field and click Get Audit. It will generate a report and let you know the areas of your website you need to address to make it ADA compliant.

How do you go about making your website ADA compliant? It is a combination of restructuring content, installing tools, and adding custom code to your website to help your website meet the ADA requirements. This can be very time consuming and technical.
