ADA and WCAG Web Accessibility Compliance
Are your website and apps fully ADA and WCAG compliant? Does your website rely on widgets or overlays that claim to automatically fix accessibility issues?
Building and maintaining an accessible website is essential for organizations of all sizes and industries.
Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, any business required to provide accessibility in physical spaces must also comply with web accessibility. The Department of Justice has consistently endorsed WCAG 2.1 AA as the appropriate standard in multiple settlement agreements.
Non-compliant websites and apps create several risks for organizations
Legal liabilities
Potential ADA lawsuits and compliance penalties that can impact your bottom line
Reduced audience reach
A dramatically smaller customer base and missed opportunities
SEO and marketing impact
Compromised search visibility and digital marketing effectiveness in an accessibility-prioritizing landscape
Brand misalignment
A glaring disconnect between stated values and real-world inclusivity
Quick fixes like overlays and widgets are often misleading.
We’ve found:
- Widgets often replicate functionality already built into browsers or operating systems and fail to address real accessibility issues.
- Automatic detection is limited—frequently raising false positives while missing issues that require manual testing.
- Automatic fixes are unreliable and can even create new problems.
- Vendor claims of full compliance and legal coverage are often misleading or false.
