As the digital age continues to grow and businesses learn new ways to meet the needs of the everyday consumer through websites and apps, it is important to understand “website accessibility” and its crucial need to be a part of all website and app designs. Especially now in 2023, the digital world is growing daily in new ways to be more inclusive in the content being created and having resources readily available to those with disabilities of all kinds. As a business owner, by making your websites accessible you can ensure that all users have the same equal access to your online content.
Why is this Important to YOU?
There are some industries that are impacted more than others when it comes to facing an accessibility lawsuit. As of August 2023, the Department of Justice has issued a Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM) for the accessibility of state and local government websites and apps to individuals with disabilities. Now this may not be of interest for your business website’s development, but there is a possibility that this new regulation will serve as a blueprint for future regulations for business websites.
To get ahead and avoid any legal issues, you should ensure that your business website meets ADA and WCAG Compliance. There are several AI-powered software’s that are available to help get your website up to date with these standards and ensure all users have access to your website.
