ADA Compliance

At Biago Media, one of our core competencies is staying ahead of the curve in technology. As such, we want to introduce all of our clients to the benefits of ADA Compliance.

In the US, all businesses are required by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to create accommodations for those who have disabilities. Likely, you’ve seen it in the form of wheelchair ramps, handicap-accessible parking, braille, and other forms. When it comes to websites though, the rules are a little less clear.

There is no explicit compliance code addressed for ADA standards when it comes to websites. Being that billions of people shop online though, it is good protocol to update your website so that it is ADA compliant. The reason behind it is that in court rulings around the country, commercial websites are public places and should be subjected to the same rules as brick and mortar businesses.

While ADA compliance is not mandatory for websites at this current time, it can be a huge benefit to you to update your website for those that have disabilities. As many states start adopting their own laws of accessibility, it’s only a matter of time before you’ll have to update your site to comply or you could wind up in court.

What are the benefits of going ADA compliant on your website?
When you make web content that is easily accessible to those that are blind, deaf, or need to use voice navigation and other assistive technologies, you open more doors for your business to succeed. In addition to helping people with disabilities use your website and do business with you, there are plenty of other things that make going ADA compliant through Biago Media a smart idea right now.

• Prevent lawsuits from popping up

  In 2019, more than 10,000 websites were sued for not being compliant with ADA. Estimates have that figure increasing exponentially in 2020 and the coming years. With ADA law, no notice is required before the filing of a lawsuit against a company that isn’t compliant. Biago Media knows how to follow these accessibility rules to help those with disabilities easily navigate your website.

• Higher ranking on search engines

  Want to know a secret for ranking higher in searches? Go ADA compliant. Google prizes those that are accessible over those that aren’t.

• Bring in more profit

  When you go ADA compliant on your website, you’re tapping into a market of people who have largely been ignored. That means your website is more likely to get the business over your competition because you’ve made it easy for those with disabilities to buy the products and services they need.

Again, there have been no rulings as of yet that fully enforce websites to follow ADA laws. However, there are some very sobering statistics about non-compliance with ADA.

After being sued, businesses still had to spend money to update their websites to follow the ADA compliance listings.
