Why it matters
In the United States, lawsuits over website accessibility under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) are common, and WCAG is the practical benchmark. Public bodies must also meet Section 508 requirements. Beyond legal risk, accessible sites reach more customers and tend to convert better.
The usual problems
- Images with no alternative text
- Low contrast between text and background
- Forms without proper labels or error messages
- Menus and pop-ups that cannot be used with a keyboard
- Videos without captions
How we approach it
We build to WCAG 2.2 AA from the start: semantic HTML, keyboard navigation, visible focus, sufficient contrast and tested forms. That is far cheaper than fixing a finished site, and it makes the site easier for everyone to use.
An accessibility statement and a contact route for feedback complete the picture. This is general information, not legal advice.
