Overview of Web Accessibility and ADA Compliance

Web accessibility refers to a set of rules, behaviors, code standards, and design guidelines created by the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium). The WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) 2.1 is a comprehensive guidebook that covers a range of disabilities, ensuring that websites are accessible to all individuals. These disabilities include blindness, motor impairments, epilepsy, color blindness, cognitive and learning disabilities, and visual impairments, among others. The WCAG 2.1 has been adopted as the global standard for web accessibility and is incorporated into legislation such as the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act), Section 508, AODA (Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act), European 301/549, and many others.

The Process of Becoming Compliant

Becoming compliant with web accessibility standards can be a complex and costly process.

The Increasing Demand for Web Accessibility

The demand for web accessibility has been steadily increasing, driven by legal requirements and a growing awareness of the benefits it brings to both businesses and individuals with disabilities. ADA compliance lawsuits have seen a dramatic rise, with reports of tens of thousands of demand letters and lawsuits targeting businesses of all sizes. The legal climate shifted significantly when the Department of Justice officially affirmed that all websites are considered public accommodations and must comply with Title III of the ADA. This, along with the exponential increase in demand, has created a pressing need for accessible and compliant solutions.

Current Alternatives for Compliance

To achieve compliance with web accessibility standards, businesses have been faced with limited and costly options. Free or low-cost plug-ins provide only minimal accessibility and cannot fully meet compliance requirements. Manual accessibility services exist but come at a considerable cost, ranging from $20,000 to $40,000 per website and taking several weeks or even months to implement. Furthermore, the ongoing maintenance needs of these solutions are both tedious and expensive. This leaves 99% of businesses without a feasible solution that can protect them from lawsuits and help them provide equal access to individuals with disabilities.
