Kris Rivenburgh explains why the WAVE automated scan tool for website accessibility is the single best starting point for reducing risk of ADA compliance litigation / lawsuits.  WAVE is free and plaintiffs' law firms frequently rely upon WAVE to find accessibility issues to serve as the basis for claims in demand letters and/or complaints.

Once you have reduced your WAVE errors and alerts to zero, you have significantly reduced your risk of ADA website litigation (i.e., you're less likely to receive a demand letter or have a formal complaint / lawsuit filed against you).

WAVE is free to use at https://wave.webaim.org or you can download the WAVE browser extension for Firefox or Chrome.

Kris designed the ADA Compliance Course (ACC) as instructions you can give your team to fix the most commonly claimed issues in ADA website lawsuits. The ACC is really an SOP for your web team. Your team can get started in minutes at https://ADACompliance.net/.
