Helping people with disabilities and businesses by providing ADA & WCAG 2.1 compliance solutions.
Why should you care?
With the overall impact of COVID-19, World Wide Web accessibility is needed more than ever to mitigate increased compliance pressures and lawsuits while providing people with disabilities with the services and information they need. We fight for website compliance and accessibility for everyone so they can enjoy "full and equal" access to every website. Not only is it our mission, it's set as precedent in the law. Learn more about its importance by reading below.
Lawsuits in the U.S
Open your website to everyone
In 2019, web accessibility federal lawsuits hit record numbers, with 11,053 suits filed in federal court -- an 8.8% increase from 2018.
For your website to be Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA; 1990) compliant, it must be free of barriers that make it difficult or impossible for people with disabilities to use them.
US Courts and the Department of Justice continually reference the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 AA as the standard for website accessibility – and therefore ADA compliance.
Inclusivity
Show customers that you care
Did you know that your website is considered a "public domain" when it goes live on the World Wide Web?
By following the WCAG 2.1 AA requirements, you are being inclusive for people who have the following disabilities: Blindness, motor & mobility challenges, Deaf or Hard of Hearing, Epilepsy, blurred vision, cognitive disorders, the elderly, cataracts, and more.
Not only are you showing you care for the 1 in 4 people in America (26% of the US population) who have these disabilities, you are tapping into a market of potential patients, customers, or clients that would not have access to you without these accommodations.
Boost your brand perception
Be found by more potential customers
Did you know that website accessibility is not just for looks or legal purposes, but that it applies in search engine optimization (SEO) as well?!
That's right! Being found on Google and other search engines takes into account if your site is accessible or not.
When ranking your site versus your competitor's pages, search engines favor those who are compliant/accessible over those who are not.
That means you will be found sooner by potential patients, clients, or customers if your website is accessible and compliant.
Your company matters to you.
It matters to us too!
Just about every business has an online presence these days. However, not all are paying close enough attention to how people with disabilities experience their company's website.
To be ADA/WCAG 2.1 AA compliant, these sites must be free of barriers that would make it difficult or impossible for people with disabilities to use them. An inaccessible website can grow into a major source of problems and missed opportunities for businesses.Rulings and settlements typically point to WCAG 2.1 as a universally accepted standard of web accessibility. Any company that is proactively striving for online accessibility should be complying with this standard.
Let us help you attain success and protect it by working together on all of your company’s marketing and website accessibility needs.
