What The Heck is ADA & WCAG?
Something is currently going on and it’ll only be a matter of time before it gets to you or your company! Website owners are being targeted and sued for a law they are ignorant of!
It’s the ‘ADA’ act and WCAG which requires businesses to make accommodations for people with disabilities in ALL their web and digital content.
ADA is an acronym for American’s With Disability Act and WCAG, Website Content Accessibility Guidance. In short, you need to be ADA & WCAG compliant, because authorities aren’t messing around one bit. If you think it’s a game, let me assure you that it’s not. Everything is coming under scrutiny; websites, apps, and pdfs included. All of these are susceptible to lawsuits and litigation.
The “Americans’ with Disability Act” provides that web content should be accessible to the blind, deaf, and all those who must navigate by voice, screen readers or other assistive technologies . . .

An historic supreme court judgment last year caused a surge in website owners being sued for non-compliance with ADA
Unlike GDPR, The ADA law requires no notice before a lawsuit is filed against a company for non-compliance.
Just take a look at these statistics when it comes to ADA & WCAG compliance:
- Lawsuits are mounting and are expected to increase…
- The Department of Justice has backed ADA website Lawsuits.
- $6,000,000 was the Settlement Cost of a Recent Case.
- $50,000+ is the Average Legal Cost to Small Businesses.
Note: The law DOES NOT provide time for a company to take action before a lawsuit is filed, and it offers no real defence to a company after a lawsuit has been filed!
