Website Accessibility Monitoring is a Waste of Money: "ADA Compliance" Alerts Aren't Practically Useful


Listen Later

Kris Rivenburgh explains why monitoring services for website  accessibility sound nice in theory but don't make sense in practice.  The sales premise is that you will receive an email alert the second  there are any accessibility issues introduced on your website, but this  is impractical and unnecessary.

If there are any changes to your website, one or more people on your  digital team will know about them and they can always run an automated  scan for free at https://wave.webaim.org before or after the changes are published live.

There's no need to have 24/7 or daily monitoring for website accessibility.

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/.
