Website owners are being targeted and sued for a law they are ignorant of . . .

It’s the ‘Americans with Disability Act [ADA]’ which requires businesses to make accommodations for people with disabilities in ALL their web content.

• A historic supreme court judgment last year caused a surge in website owners being sued for non-compliance with ADA.
• 1,500+ legal cases related to non-accessibility compliance in new york alone in 2018 . . .
• More than 10,000 websites sued in 2019 for their website not being ADA compliant. This number is expected to hit 100k by next year – 2020.
• Unlike GDPR, The ADA law requires no notice before a lawsuit is filed against a company for non-compliance.

Now to be ADA compliant, you need some necessary set up for ALL your web content, whether web pages, videos, etc;

1. Text to speech feature
2. Alt text for all images
3. Zoom feature
4. Accessibility policy pages and a host of others!

Because ‘ADA’ provides that web content should be accessible to the blind, deaf, and those who must navigate by voice, screen readers or other assisting technologies .
