ADA compliance is mandatory for websites to ensure the ADA web accessibility standards for all users, with or without disabilities, and to protect your company from any litigation.

An exemplary website is one which offers content accessible to people with disabilities or impairments such as visual, hearing, motor, and others. The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) offer a checklist of compliance standards that ensure accessibility for all users to help with the court assessment. As the evolution of these standards is extremely rapid, website owners should constantly inspect and improve websites in order to comply with the ADA standards. 

ADA compliance for websites is a challenging process. However, you can always start simple and build your way up. A few repetitive procedures, such as including alt text on images, audio descriptions and keyboard shortcuts and improving the readability of text, can assist in ensuring a website is compliant with ADA regulations.

Web content is the foundation of an accessible website, from the production to the uploading. Website accessibility experts know how to improve this procedure by establishing and following the best practices and continuously checking and testing the website and digital content for accessibility and compliance.

We know it can be overwhelming to keep in mind all those accessibility requirements, the small details of compliance as well as the potential threat of litigation. A tip from ruxbo is to always remember why we do this in the first place - we want all humans to be able to access and enjoy the content we produce, so this is our number one priority.

Congratulations, you know all the guidelines assessing a website accessible. Do you though? What about those special cases that aren't covered by the principles? You cannot know everything, but you can keep an open eye and let your audience communicate any possible issues. Set clear communication guidelines and always stay at arm's distance for when your users need you.
