Make Your Website ADA and WCAG Compliant
Become Accessible and Compliant with Laws for People With Disabilities. Find out if your company is inclusive!
Compliance is a legal requirement,
accessibility is conscientious
Due to DOJ affirmation, websites must be accessible to people with disabilities since they are regarded as public accommodation.
Non-Compliance of Website Accessibility Can Lead to Lawsuits and Fines
Creating a website that is accessible to individuals with disabilities is a moral and legal obligation. An inaccessible site can result in costly lawsuits, damage to reputation, and loss of customers.
Individuals with disabilities deserve equal access to online information and services, like everyone else.
Providing equal access to online content
Equal access to online content for individuals with disabilities is paramount in promoting inclusivity and diversity. Prioritizing web accessibility standards such as alt-text descriptions for images, closed captioning for videos, and keyboard navigation options guarantee that all users have the same opportunities to engage with information regardless of their physical or cognitive limitations.
ADA and Web Content Accessibility Guidelines
The convergence of technology and commerce greatly impacted individuals with disabilities. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) ensure that online accommodations are accessible to all, regardless of disability.
These guidelines require businesses to make their websites and online platforms user-friendly for those with visual, auditory, motor, or cognitive impairments.

Frequently Asked Questions
ADA Compliance is a set of guidelines and standards set by the Americans with Disabilities Act to ensure that people with disabilities have equal access to web content. Websites must meet certain requirements such as compatibility with assistive technologies. Other key requirements include providing captions or transcripts for audio and video content, using appropriate color contrast, and implementing proper heading structure.
WCAG, or Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, is developed by the W3C to ensure that web content is accessible to all individuals, regardless of their abilities. These guides help websites create content that is perceivable, operable, and understandable for people with disabilities including auditory, cognitive, neurological, physical, speech and visual.
People with disabilities face barriers when accessing websites, from technical difficulties to design and content problems. This significantly impacts the user experience, making it difficult or even impossible for individuals with disabilities to navigate and use the website. Barriers include lack of proper text alternatives for non-text content, such as images or videos, inaccessible navigation menus, poor color contrast for those with color blindness, and improper use of assistive technologies like screen readers.
With accessibility, you can ensure that your website is designed to be inclusive and easily navigable for people with disabilities. Our team will aid in testing and interacting with your website as users with disabilities would. Through this, you can identify barriers or challenges to make necessary changes to improve accessibility.
Failing to have an ADA compliant website puts individuals with disabilities at a disadvantage, and opens up the possibility of legal consequences for your business. Non-compliance with ADA requirements can result in costly and time-consuming lawsuits that can damage your company’s reputation and finances. Not having an accessible website alienates potential customers who require accommodations, limiting your reach and potential for growth.

“My company unsuccessfully used several development agencies over the years – promises not kept and delay in services made the changes inevitable. I met Steve in 2016 and was impressed with his knowledge and the inclusive services that his company could provide for my business. Four years later and even a change in our website platform – I have been extremely satisfied with AOC. The communication with the team and the follow up has been exceptional.”
