The ABC’s of ADA

Keeping your website ADA friendly may feel complicated, but it doesn’t have to be. Think of it as learning your ABCs:

A is for Accessibility

Web accessibility ensures that all visitors, even those with vision, hearing, mobility, or cognitive differences, can use your site. This isn’t just about meeting legal requirements; it’s about creating a welcoming, inclusive experience for everyone who visits.

B is for Beyond the Basics

Automated tools like UserWay help identify issues, but they’re only the starting point. That’s why our team goes beyond the basics. We review each scan manually, remediate the errors, and double-check each site against Lighthouse helping to get our clients closer to compliance.

C is for Compliance & Confidence

Being as close to compliance as possible* is important, but maintaining that status it is where confidence comes in. With ongoing monitoring and expert support, your organization can be confident your website remains more accessible, user-friendly, and aligned with ADA standards.

Why It Matters

An accessible website isn’t just the right thing to do, it reduces legal risk, improves user experience, and opens your services to a wider audience. It also shows your commitment to inclusivity, which builds trust with your community. Plus, Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) went into effect June 24, 2024. This means that all websites should be working towards WCAG 2.1 compliance as soon as possible. 

Still have Questions?

The ADA has a starter guide for State and Local Governments. If you have questions about where to start to get closer to complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act Title II Web and Mobile Application Accessibility Rule, this is a great place to start.
