Faith without invoices is dead - and so is
your business.
In 2018, the Department of Justice made it clear that websites serving the public fall under the jurisdiction of the Americans with Disabilities Act. This means that web accessibility - like accessible seating on public transportation, curb cuts & ramps, and other accommodations - is important to providing a delightful experience to all of your website's users.
After the pandemic forced everyone online, it became glaringly apparent that the majority of websites were not accessible to a great number of users with disabilities.
Generally, the default is to consider the needs of users with vision-based disabilities, but users with motor disabilities, missing limbs, cognitive disabilities, and many others also use the web. And navigating an inaccessible web, when there is no choice, is difficult at best, impossible at the worst.
Learn the dangers of ignoring accessibility problems (like expensive lawsuits) and how doing the right thing can be easier, less expensive, and more profitable than you may think.
