ADA Compliant Web Design
More than one billion people living with disabilities worldwide are affected by the lack of assistive technologies and non-adapted means of communication. Guarantee equal opportunities to your online content for all page visitors with an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant website.
ADA Compliance, Equal Access For Website Users
Local Magnetic Marketing offers ADA compliance services with advanced knowledge and tool that allows page visitors to navigate your website without any issues. We provide online users with the ADA compliance tool they need to avoid ADA website compliance lawsuits and make them lifelong customers.
In 2017, WCAG 2.1 was introduced to address web changes and technological advancements. WCAG 2.1 builds on the previous versions of WCAG and aims to make online content more accessible to a broader range of persons with disabilities, including:
Deafness
Blindness
Photosensitivity
Hearing loss
Low vision
Learning disabilities
Cognitive limitations
Limited movement
Speech disabilities
While in the past, ADA primarily focused on accessibility features in physical stores, offices, and government buildings, in 2018, the act was expanded to include technology interfaces such as websites. As a result, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.0) is now the widely accepted standard for compliance with the ADA.
What happens if my website isn’t ADA-compliant?
According to ADA.gov, if your business or organization’s website is non-compliant, you could be subject to a fine of $75,000 – $150,000 each time you’re found in violation. Between 2017 and 2018, ADA-compliant website lawsuits nearly tripled. According to a report by Usable Net, 21% of businesses targeted by an ADA lawsuit were sued more than once. Between government fines and lawsuits, websites that are not widely accessible to users are costly to your reputation and your bottom line.
What does an ADA Compliant website look like?
ADA compliance is about making your site accessible to all users. So if a visit has a sight implementation, the ADA compliance for that visitor may mean adding screen readers that read the text of the page for a visitor or to accommodate a hearing impaired visitor, it may mean adding closed captioning to videos. For website owners, World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.0) serve as the gold standard for ADA compliance.

ADA Site Audits
We use industry-standard tools to analyze your site and determine what changes need to be made to the site to make it compliant with WCAG 2.0 standards. That includes scanning every page within site and producing a comprehensive report with our findings and proposed solutions.
Some of the items the audit will include:
- Web Page Title and Heading Tags: to make content more accessible to all users, pages should be organized clearly and hierarchically, utilizing clear and descriptive headings.
- Text Contrast and Color Check: text on the page should have enough contrast in the background to make it easy to read.
- Captioning and Alt Text: all photos, multimedia images, and videos on a website should include descriptive alt text to accommodate users if the media can’t be viewed. Additionally, video media should consist of captions and audio media transcribed.
- Flash Animation: strobing or flash animation should be avoided to accommodate users who may be prone to seizures.
- Keyboard Accessibility: Features such as drop-down lists and form controls should be controllable via keyboards.
Ongoing Compliance Maintenance
A website is not a static entity, and with constant content and design updates will encounter issues with ADA compliance. We highly recommend using our team to continue to support the site and guarantee compliance in an ongoing manner, month to month.
This process includes monthly audits and progress reports on fixes implemented from those monthly audits.
