ADA Compliance Web Design for Your Local Business Website

In addition to designing your website and helping it rank high, we can also ensure that it’s ADA (American Disability Act) compliant. Although there are currently no hard guidelines for ADA website compliance, your site’s content and functions should be accessible to people with disabilities. If you operate a business, this means visually impaired and deaf visitors, and anyone who navigates the web by voice, screen readers, or other assistive technologies should be able to read your site. Failing to make your site accessible to disabled web users can lead to legal trouble. In fact, it’s predicted that the number of ADA lawsuits filed in 2019 for failure to make a site ADA compliant will hit an all-new high.

We provide quality web design, website development, and digital marketing services throughout Massachusetts and nationally. Popular locations include: Boston, Brookline, Newton, Quincy, Somerville, Woburn, Worcester

There are no quick fixes such as plug-ins or software that will automatically make your website ADA compliant. It requires human expertise to carefully comb through your site and make the needed manual changes. Simply Succeeding will perform a thorough assessment of your website and pinpoint the areas that need to meet ADA standards. We’ll compile a best practices checklist and use it to test your site for ADA functionality. Some of these checklist items include confirming all images and non-text content contain alt text, video with sound contains accurate closed captioning, content is presented in a meaningful order, text can be resized up to 200%, and more.

Many ADA compliant web design services may do little more than scan your site and present you with a report of suggestions on what to do next. Automated scans and audits can’t completely uncover all of the parts of your site that aren’t ADA compliant. At Simply Succeeding, we’ll not just inform you of the areas that need compliance improvement, but we’ll make those updates for you hands-on.

A: Making a website ADA compliant requires updating coding and the back end of a website so all content is accessible by web users with disabilities.
