What is web accessibility?

Web accessibility refers to making websites usable for people with disabilities. It involves designing and developing websites in a way that people with disabilities, such as those with visual, auditory, motor, and cognitive impairments, can perceive, understand, navigate, and interact with the website and its content.

Web accessibility ensures that everyone has equal access to information and services on the web, regardless of their abilities. This includes individuals who use assistive technologies, such as screen readers, to access the web.

improved performance

Accessible websites enjoy increased traffic, reduced bounce rates, improved SEO rankings, and better conversion rates. An accessible website means that you’re making it easier for people to find your website.

TAX CREDITS

The U.S. government has chosen to promote and support businesses that comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). By making your website accessible, your business can be eligible for up to $5,000 in tax credits.

 

The accessible business advantage

Having an accessible website comes with many benefits for your business:

  • Expand your audience reach: Tap into the 25% of the population that could be locked out of your business.

  • Increase organic traffic and web performance: Properly formatted structure and image descriptions make your website SEO-optimized, driving increased traffic and engagement.

  • Enhance the user experience for all visitors: Accessible websites are designed in a way that reduces confusion and provides a more seamless UX for all users.

  • Improve your brand reputation: An accessible website demonstrates your commitment to inclusion and social responsibility.

  • Mitigate legal risk: Compliance with web accessibility isn’t optional - it’s a legal requirement and reduces the risk of costly litigation for non-compliance.
