We are excited to share some crucial information about web accessibility and why it should be a top priority for your website and digital presence.
What is web accessibility?
Web accessibility refers to the inclusive practice of making websites and online properties usable by people with disabilities, in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements for public accommodations. It ensures that individuals with visual, auditory, physical, cognitive, or neurological disabilities can access and navigate digital content effectively.
Now, you might be thinking “Why should I care about this?” Here’s why:
- Avoid Legal Headaches: Making your site accessible helps steer clear of potential lawsuits and costly legal drama related to ADA violations. Trust us, you don’t want that hassle!
- Expand Your Reach: An accessible website allows you to connect with a much wider audience, including the many individuals with disabilities out there. More people accessing your awesome content? Yes, please!
- Walk the Inclusion Walk: Implementing accessibility shows your commitment to diversity, inclusion, and ensuring equal access for all members of your community, regardless of abilities. Feel-good values in action!
- Tax Credit? Yes, Please!: As a sweet bonus, businesses can score up to $5,000 in tax credits for making their websites ADA-compliant and accessible. Who doesn’t love tax savings?
