Inclusive web design benefits website owners and end users.

An ADA-compliant website follows the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). These guidelines were crafted to ensure that individuals with disabilities can properly interact with digital spaces and the services or products business’s offer online to the public.

Why Should I Consider the Accessibility of My Website?

ADA-Compliant Websites Reduce Legal Risks. Accessibility lawsuits have steadily risen since 2018, targeting businesses of all sizes. UsableNet’s 2024 Mid-year report revealed that 75% of ADA lawsuits were filed against companies with less than $25M in revenue, highlighting the importance of small businesses to be proactive.

Inclusive Web Design Benefits Everyone. Designing websites for people with visual impairments, for example, enhances the experience for all users. Think about digital elements like closed captions and dark mode, that we all get to appreciate from time to time. These concepts originated from accessible web practices.

Improved Accessibility Expands Your Customer Base. We design with ADA standards like color contrast, image alt text, accessible hyperlinks, proper information structures, and logical navigation in mind. This ensures your business is accessible to a broader, widely untapped, audience.

Let’s look at ADA solutions that can suit your website and its users

ADA Compliant Solutions

Our team designs and develops websites with ADA guidelines in mind. Meeting these best practices is an important part of our process. Updating a website to be ADA compliant takes a lot effort than just adding a plugin. See the list below of some of the elements we apply to each website.

ADA Compliant: Several Key Elements

Keyboard Accessibility
All functionality should be accessible using just a keyboard, allowing users with mobility impairments to navigate the site without a mouse. This includes accessing forms, menus, and interactive elements like buttons.
Text Alternatives (Alt Text) for Images
Provide descriptive alternative text (alt text) for all images, so users with visual impairments using screen readers can understand the content and context of images.
Readable Text and Structure
Ensure text is easy to read by using clear fonts, proper contrast between text and background, and flexible text sizes. Headings should be organized logically with proper HTML tags (H1, H2, etc.) for users with screen readers to understand the page structure.
Consistent and Clear Navigation
Navigation should be straightforward and consistent across all pages to prevent confusion for users with cognitive disabilities or those using screen readers. Clear menus, descriptive link text, and intuitive site structure enhance accessibility.

More ADA Key Elements…

Color Contrast and Design Ensure a high contrast between text and background colors to make content readable for people with visual impairments. Avoid relying solely on color to convey important information, as colorblind users may miss it.
Form Accessibility Forms should be easy to navigate, with properly labeled input fields that describe their purpose. Include clear error messages and instructions so users with cognitive impairments or screen readers can complete forms effectively.
Responsive Design Use a responsive design that works on all devices, including mobile phones and tablets. This ensures accessibility across different screen sizes and devices, which is particularly important for people with disabilities.
Focus Indicators Visual focus indicators (e.g., a highlight around links or form fields) help users who navigate with a keyboard understand where they are on the page, making it easier to interact with the website.

Protecting User-Information

Upholding HIPAA compliance is essential for healthcare providers, payers and vendors handling protected health information (PHI)

Given that penalties can soar into the millions, it’s crucial to avoid the risks associated with non-compliance.

A website should be HIPAA compliant if it handles protected health information (PHI) to ensure the privacy and security of sensitive patient data. HIPAA compliance is crucial for healthcare providers, insurance companies, and any business that deals with PHI, as it mandates strict guidelines for the storage, transmission, and access to health information.
