Why Your Website Should Be Compliant

48.9 million people in America are considered disabled. By making your website compliant, you can make your organization accessible to millions of people.

Any store, restaurant, or place of business is considered a public space. The ADA requires these spaces to be accessible to everyone. By installing ramps, handicapped bathrooms, braille signs, elevators, etc. businesses are complying with ADA regulations. It is hard to imagine a place that has not adopted these changes. Websites are considered public spaces as well and the WCAG 2.0 AA is the ADA online regulation.
