ADA Compliance Service
Ensuring that your website and all the documents on it are ADA compliant is important. Especially in today’s digital world. The web design experts at Connectica can make sure your website follows all ADA compliance guidelines.
What Is ADA Compliance?
ADA compliance stems from the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) which is a civil rights law that bans discrimination against any individual with disabilities—this includes what we publish on the internet. A blind, color-impaired, or low-vision user relies on specific formatting to better understand the content on your website.
At Connectica, we can design your website and its content, including PDF files and Word documents, to adhere to the most current ADA compliance standards.
What Is An ADA-Compliant Website?
As part of ADA compliance, Web Content Accessibility Guidelines ensure web content access to those with disabilities. Government organization websites are most commonly required to follow specific ADA guidelines.
With that being said, any organization or industry that deals with public life and is open to the public benefits from ADA compliant website design and content services.
Why Is Having An ADA Compliant Website & Content Important?
SEO Performance & Digital Presence: Simply put, having a website that’s ADA compliant has a huge impact on your SEO score. Furthermore, it impacts your rankings on search engines like Google, Bing, and Yahoo!
ADA compliance is important for your website and all the documents on it. This is because it increases your online visibility and target audience; both of which boost your conversion rate.
Legalities & Guideline Requirements: Title II and Title III of the Americans With Disabilities Act layout certain requirements pertaining to website accessibility. These guidelines apply to state and local government entities, hotels, movie theaters, restaurants, schools, hospitals, pharmacies, daycare facilities, and places of public accommodation or service.
If your business does fall into an industry where ADA compliance is necessary at your physical location, now is a great time to make sure your website and all the documents on it are ADA compliant. It could prevent future penalties and legal action against your company.
Inclusivity: No matter what, you should include everyone when it comes to access to your business or organization’s website and its contents. It doesn’t only show that you care. Modifying access for individuals with physical, sensory, and mental disabilities is just good business practice.
