How do I know if my website is compliant?

You can check your website for ADA compliance with a manual audit. A manual audit involves evaluating every page of your site for accessibility including images with descriptive tags, ADA icon on every page, and review headings, buttons, and links

Is ADA compliance mandatory?

There are no clear ADA regulations that spell out exactly what compliant web content is, but businesses are required to develop a website that offers “reasonable accessibility” to people with disabilities.

What types of thing make your website compliant?

Just a few examples that make a website compliant are creating alt tags for images, enable screen reader capability, keep navigation consistent, simple headings and spacing, and don’t rely on color for navigation.

How common are ADA website lawsuits and who is at most risk?

The rate of ADA based web and app lawsuits jumped from 814 in 2017 to 2,258 in 2018, this is a 177% increase. It is holding steady in 2019 and 2020. We expect the trend to increase slightly in 2021. Any business with a website is a risk for litigation regardless of their size or statue. Solopreneurs up to hundreds of employees have been hit with lawsuits.

Are there well known companies that are being sued?

Many well known companies have been sued for website accessibility and lost. Just to name a few, Nike, Beyonce, Domino’s Pizza, ADP, Golden State Warriors, Winn Dixie, Fox News, Burger King, and Amazon.

What are the penalties for an ADA non compliant website?

Federal law allows fines of up to $75,000 for the first violation and $150,000 for additional ADA violations. States and local governments may allow additional fines. However, possibly the most financially damaging consequence for not complying is the damage to the image of your business or brand when it becomes public that there was an ADA violation.
