ADA (American with Disabilities Act) compliance is now becoming law for websites in some states.
The ADA.gov website says that “Title III prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in the activities of places of public accommodations (businesses that are generally open to the public and that fall into one of 12 categories listed in the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act), such as restaurants, movie theaters, schools, day care facilities, recreation facilities, and doctors’ offices) and requires newly constructed or altered places of public accommodation—as well as commercial facilities (privately owned, nonresidential facilities such as factories, warehouses, or office buildings)—to comply with the ADA Standards.” This has been interpreted by the United States courts to include websites.
This article gives you some reasons why you want to be ADA compliant.
