Website Accessibility Matters. What you don't know could cost you
As the Internet becomes ever more important to education, information, data collection, health care, employment, and collaboration, the need for inclusion of everyone becomes more apparent.
The ADA requires that websites be accessible, as they are considered places of public accommodation.
What are the benefits of an accessible website?
Mitigate Legal Risk: In 2021, the number of we-related lawsuits in the U.S. saw a 320% increase over the past eight years; the average settlement costs around $30,000. An accessible website could save you time and money that would be spent settling a potential lawsuit.
Optimize your website's reach: Make your website accessible to 15% of the population who are an underserved and loyal group of consumers. Doin so helps you reduce bounce rates and maximizes your site's reach with enhanced search visibility.
It's the right thing to do: The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion social movement is growing exponentially. Accessibility is a human right, and brands that prioritize it send a clear, positive message that they care about all members of their communities.
Receive tax Incentives: Businesses that comply with accessibility requirements for their websites may be eligible for tax credits under the ADA. The IRS provides the Disable Access Credit (Section 44) as an incentive for small businesses that incur expenses related to accessibility improvements, including those made to digital platforms.
