How the ADA Affects Business Websites
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was created to protect the rights of individuals with disabilities. The act has three main categories that an individual can fall under. The most notable is “a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities.” This category could apply to anyone who might have a temporary or permanent disability.
According to the Census Bureau, over 20% of Americans are disabled based on this definition. That’s why it’s so crucial for businesses to have websites that are accessible to people with disabilities. Websites can be filtered through different levels or implementations of accessibility, ranging from very basic all the way up to being fully ADA compliant.
According to the website W3C, “the Web is for everyone regardless of disability.” Accessibility on all devices is crucial for this reason, and that’s why it’s essential to have a service like accessiBe help you improve your site. In addition, it will help any business with an online presence be more inclusive to their visitors.
