Web accessibility<\/a> is in the spotlight once again. On March 18th, the Department of Justice (DOJ) published new guidance, spurring discussions around legal requirements for web accessibility.<\/p>\n

Here are a few takeaways and what they mean for businesses in the United States.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Web accessibility is clearly a requirement under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Title III of the ADA requires any business that\u2019s \u201copen to the public\u201d to make their online content and services accessible to people who rely on assistive technologies, such as screen readers, to navigate the internet.<\/li>\n
  2. While the statement doesn\u2019t provide a new legal standard, it points to WCAG and Section 508 Standards for technical guidance.<\/li>\n
  3. Web accessibility is a priority. Recent settlements listed in the guidance show the DOJ\u2019s commitment to ensuring businesses make their web content accessible to people with disabilities.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    More than anything, the DOJ guidance reminds us that under the law, in our increasingly digital world, access to online content and properties is no different from access to a physical location.<\/p>\n

    If you haven\u2019t taken any action on your site’s accessibility, or feel unsure whether your efforts are enough, please contact Dream Warrior at dreambig@dreamwarrior.com and we’d be happy to discuss.<\/p>\n
