What is ADA Compliance?
15% of the world’s population has some sort of disability.
The Americans with Disabilities Act, known as ADA, is our country’s most important law regarding accessibility for people with disabilities. Signed into law in 1990, the ADA prohibits discrimination against anyone based on ability or disability.
- Employers must provide reasonable accommodations for employees with disabilities to perform their jobs.
- Companies must make it possible for your customers with disabilities to access their services.

You Have Questions, We Have Answers
ADA Compliance refers to the Americans with Disabilities Act, a law in the United States that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities and requires accommodations to be made for employees and customers with disabilities.
Just like with a physical location, the primary requirements of ADA Compliance for websites are making accommodations for employees with disabilities to perform their jobs and ensuring that customers with disabilities can access the services provided.
The benefits of being ADA compliant include improved accessibility for all users, increased traffic and sales opportunities, improved search engine ranking, and avoidance of legal penalties.
The legal risks of non-ADA compliant websites include the possibility of facing a lawsuit and being required to pay the plaintiff’s legal fees, as well as the potential for damaging brand reputation.
