What The Heck Is ADA & WCAG?

Law showing a book and a gavel

Something is currently going on, and it’s only a matter of time before it gets to you or your company!
Website owners are being targeted and sued for a law they are ignorant of!

It’s the ‘ADA’ and WCAG (ADA & WCAG Accessibility Compliance). Laws requiring businesses to make accommodations for people with disabilities in ALL their web and digital content.

ADA is an acronym for American’s With Disability Act and
WCAG is Website Content Accessibility Guidance. In short, you need to be ADA & WCAG compliant, because authorities aren’t messing around one bit. If you think it’s a game, let me assure you that it’s not. Everything is coming under scrutiny; websites, apps, and pdfs included. All of these are susceptible to lawsuits and litigation.

The “Americans’ with Disability Act” provides that web content should be accessible to the blind, deaf, and all those who must navigate by voice, screen readers or other assistive technologies . . .
