Meeting Web Content Accessibility Guidelines
Achieving ADA compliance is extremely important in today’s digital landscape. There are over 60 million people with disabilities in the United States. Your website is often the first point of interaction with your brand for many potential site visitors. If customers with disabilities cannot easily access your content, you are losing out on their business. You also risk potential accessibility lawsuits and legal risks by not meeting ADA compliance standards.
To address these issues, we partner with accessiBe, the leading AI-powered web accessibility solution, to make your website ADA compliant for those using assistive technology. accessiBe’s innovative technology automates the process of detecting accessibility issues and remediating them.
With accessiBe, an accessibility interface is added to your site that optimizes for screen readers and keyboard navigation. Meanwhile, an AI-powered background process handles fixing more complex accessibility requirements related to semantics, structure, colors, forms, ARIA attributes, and more.
accessiBe scans your entire website for accessibility barriers and automatically remediates up to 30% of issues within 48 hours. Our digital accessibility specialists then manually review the remaining items and optimize your site to be fully ADA compliant.

What Does ADA Compliance Mean?
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a civil rights law prohibiting discrimination against individuals with disabilities. This includes requiring equal access to goods, services, and information through accessible web design.
Specifically, Title III of the ADA mandates that places of public accommodation provide effective communication and auxiliary aids/services for individuals with disabilities. All businesses that provide goods and services to the public fall under Title III, regardless of size.
While the ADA does not outline specific technical or web accessibility standards, most courts refer to the WCAG 2.1 guidelines published by the World Wide Web Consortium as the industry standard for accessibility. To achieve ADA compliance, your website needs to conform to WCAG 2.1 AA criteria at minimum.
Some key requirements include:
- Alternate text for images
- Captions/transcripts for audio & video
- Adaptable to various device sizes
- Navigable by keyboard
- Readable without losing content/function
- Easy to understand language
- Sufficient color contrast
- Avoidance of flashing content
- Screen reader compatible interface
In addition to the ADA requirements, Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act requires federal agencies to make electronic and information technology accessible to people with disabilities.
Many states also have their own website accessibility laws. For example, in New York the NYHRA protects those with disabilities from discrimination in public spaces, including websites.
By partnering with accessiBe for ongoing ADA accessibility compliance services, we will ensure you meet not just minimum legal standards, but best practices for an optimal accessible website experience.
The Tax Benefits of ADA Compliance
It’s important to note that the U.S. federal government also provides tax credits and deductions to promote ADA compliance. By making your web content accessible, you may qualify for significant tax savings.
Some key tax benefits include:
- ADA Small Business Tax Credit – Get up to $5,000 in tax credits for compliance costs like web accessibility services. This helps offset the expense.
- Disabled Access Tax Deduction – Deduct up to $15,000 per year for compliance expenses. This can include website adjustments for ADA conformance.
- Work Opportunity Tax Credit – Get credit for hiring people with disabilities, which promotes an accessible/inclusive work environment.
- Architectural/Transportation Tax Deduction – Deduct costs of accessibility-related construction or renovation. This can apply to digital redesign for ADA conformance.
As you can see, the government incentives make achieving ADA website compliance much more affordable. On top of that, you’ll improve your business by reaching the underserved disability market. Over 60 million Americans have a disability with a collective spending power of over $1 trillion. An accessible website allows you to tap into this massive customer base.

The Legal Risks of Not Having an ADA Compliant Website
Failing to make your web pages accessible under the ADA opens you up to the risk of legal claims and lawsuits.
In recent years, ADA website accessibility lawsuits and demand letters have surged:
– Over 3,250 ADA Title III lawsuits were filed in federal court in 2022.
– It’s estimated only 3% of demand letters go to litigation, meaning the total number sent out is exponentially higher.
– Businesses can face fines of up to $75,000 for first violation and $150,000 for subsequent ones.
– Average settlement amounts range from $20,000 to $50,000 plus legal fees.
With the number of lawsuits increasing significantly each year, it’s imperative that businesses avoid non-compliance risks by making their websites accessible.
