ADA Website Compliance
Kris Rivenburgh explains ADA website compliance in practical terms. ADA
website compliance originates from ADA compliance or compliance with
the Americans with Disabilities Act which requires accessibility of
public accommodations generally.
Because the ADA was signed into law in 1990, it doesn't contemplate
modern digital technology such as websites and mobile apps.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) is the regulatory and enforcement agency
behind Title II and Title III of the ADA. The DOJ's unofficial stance
is ADA applies to websites. However, no official regulation has been
published the DOJ that explicitly sets out exactly how to make a website
ADA compliant.
This stance has given rise to a cottage industry of litigation.
Plaintiffs lawyers have literally filed over 10,000 complaints in state
and federal court concerning website accessibility. It's estimated that
over 100,000 demand letters have been sent to website owners including
small businesses and large corporations. Because litigation is
expensive, most cases settle.
The two best practices for making a website ADA compliant are 1) WCAG
conformance and 2) conspicuously publishing an accessibility statement.
To prevent lawsuits, website owners must find and fix the accessibility
issues that plaintiffs lawyers look for and claim in litigation.
Sellers of website accessibility products and services aren't aligned
with this and thus their offerings fall short in meeting the immediate
needs of their clients and customers.
This is why Kris created the ADA Compliance Course.
The ADA Compliance Course is training for your web team that helps
website owners strategically find and fix the accessibility issues that
are most commonly claimed in litigation.
