Why Website Accessibility Matters
Over 1 billion people worldwide have disabilities. An accessible website isn't just the right thing to do—it's essential for your business.
Reach More Customers
26% of US adults have some form of disability. An inaccessible website excludes millions of potential customers from engaging with your business.
Legal Protection
ADA lawsuits against websites have increased dramatically. In 2023, over 4,000 web accessibility lawsuits were filed. Compliance protects your business.
Better SEO & UX
Accessibility improvements often enhance SEO. Screen reader optimization, proper heading structure, and alt text all benefit search rankings.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is website accessibility?
Website accessibility means designing and developing websites so people with disabilities can use them effectively. This includes accommodations for visual impairments (screen readers, high contrast), auditory disabilities (captions, transcripts), motor disabilities (keyboard navigation), and cognitive disabilities (clear navigation, simple language).
Is my website required to be ADA compliant?
If your business serves the public, your website likely needs to be accessible. While the ADA doesn't explicitly mention websites, courts have consistently ruled that websites are "places of public accommodation." Businesses of all sizes—from Fortune 500 companies to small local businesses—have faced lawsuits for inaccessible websites.
What's the difference between WCAG Level A, AA, and AAA?
Level A: Minimum accessibility requirements. Addresses the most critical barriers.
Level AA: The standard most organizations target. Required for government sites and often referenced in legal cases.
Level AAA: Highest level of accessibility. Often impractical for entire sites but valuable for specific content.
Do accessibility widgets like Accessibe actually work?
Accessibility widgets provide valuable accommodations and demonstrate good faith effort toward compliance. However, they're not a complete solution. We recommend widgets as part of a layered approach that includes proper code-level accessibility. Widgets are excellent for providing user controls while you work on deeper remediation.
How long does accessibility remediation take?
Widget implementation: 1-2 days
Basic audit: 1-2 weeks
Full remediation: 2-8 weeks depending on site size and issues found
