Why Does ADA Compliance Matter

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was enacted to ensure that all people, regardless of disability, have equal access to public spaces and facilities. Businesses and other organizations that provide goods and services to the public, including websites, are subject to the law. As a result, websites must be designed to be accessible to all users, including those using screen readers or other assistive technologies.

Does ADA Compliance Apply To Websites

The Department of Justice has interpreted the Americans with Disabilities Act to apply to web content since 1996. Websites and electronic media technologies must remain compliant, according to the FCC. This means that when creating a website or app for the general public or government agencies, web developers must adhere to certain accessibility standards.
