In recent times, the digital landscape has seen a significant uptick in ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliance lawsuits, spotlighting the urgent need for websites to be accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. Non-compliance with ADA guidelines can lead to hefty fines, legal fees, and court-ordered injunctions, with costs potentially exceeding $50,000.

Notably, a significant number of our clients have already faced legal challenges due to non-compliance with ADA guidelines. These challenges underscore the importance of proactive measures to ensure website accessibility, to avoid costly and time-consuming lawsuits.

ADA compliance means ensuring your website is accessible to people with disabilities,  and providing “reasonable accessibility” through various modifications. This includes enhancing visual impairment navigation, motor impairment support, cognitive impairment aids, and ensuring your website is safe for individuals with epilepsy.

ADA compliance may also offer financial benefits. Small businesses with gross receipts of $1 million or less, or those employing 30 or fewer full-time employees, may be eligible for an ADA tax credit. We advise consulting with your CPA for comprehensive tax advice and to determine whether your Company is eligible for this tax credit.

If you need assistance with determining whether your website is ADA compliant and bringing it up to standard if it is not, we recommend using Shure Business, Inc. Shure Business, Inc. offers solutions that are designed to address a broad spectrum of accessibility issues, from visual and motor impairments to cognitive conditions and seizure safety.
