What is ADA Digital Accessibility?
Understanding ADA & WCAG (without the legal jargon)

Wcag 1
The American with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires businesses to provide equal access to goods and services -- including websites, mobile apps, and digital content. 
.
Courts and the Department of Justice increasingly intepret wesites as "places of public accommodations." Website owners are being targeted and sued for a law they are ignorant about!

In essence, if your business serves the public online, you are expected to be accessible.

What is WCAG?


The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) are the internationally accepted standards used to measure digital accessibility.
Most lawsuits and enforcement actions reference:
WCAG 2.1 Level AA (current standard most commonly required).

.
Bottom line, website and online content owners need to be ADA & WCAG compliant, because authorities aren't messing aroud. If you think it's an optional request or suggestion, let me assure you that it's not. Online spaces has been coming under scrutiny (websites, apps, and pdfs included). All of these are susceptible to lawsuits and litigation.
