Preventing Litigation vs. ADA Compliance vs. WCAG Conformance: There's a Difference


Listen Later

Kris differentiates preventing website accessibility litigation (demand letters and lawsuits) vs. an ADA compliant website vs. WCAG conformance.  WCAG 2.1 AA conformance is a best practice for both preventing litigation and ADA compliance, but it usually takes several months to reach full conformance.  

In the meantime, it is best to address those accessibility issues that plaintiffs' law firms look for when deciding what entities to initiate litigation against.

Kris designed the ADA Compliance Course (ACC) so that you can give the course to your team as instructions for how 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.
