Website Accessibility Technology For The Disabled

Website Accessibility Technology Support For The Disabled


Websites do not come prepared for, nor are they compliant with, ADA defined accessibility standards for those with disabilities. All businesses would like to support those with disabilities and not only because it can be good for business, but because most of us want to help anyone in need. While there has been great progress in the physical world, enter modern times and the question becomes how can we provide reliable website accessibility online – for all types of disability? For the average business, the cost to code an entire website  >> compliant to ADA standards << is not only cost-prohibitive but a potentially never-ending process and cost. The good news is there are applications any company can buy, and then have installed > inexpensively < on its website. Read on because while this is not only a technology challenge, it has also become a legal challenge and there are inexpensive applications that can support and combat the situation.

Disabled Includes


“Disabled” is defined as anybody with blindness and low vision, color blindness, deafness and hearing loss, learning disabilities, cognitive limitations, limited movement, speech disabilities, photo-sensitivity to certain colors, AND/OR any combination of them. Contrary to what some may believe this is not only support for the blind, but a whole lot more.

For a small to medium-sized business interested in building a website, the cost to include what are a broad set of complicated website accessibility standards (defined here WCAG 2.1) is not only cost-prohibitive but a potentially never-ending process & cost.

So, what options are there?

Website Accessibility Application For The Disabled


In order to both support those with all of the above-listed disabilities (affordably, thoroughly, on an ongoing basis) AND ALSO to protect a business from demand lawsuits related to their accessibility we have looked at a number of different solutions.

The Legal Challenge: ADA * WCAG

According to ADA title III, published materials produced by a business (website included??) must be accessible to people with disabilities. And while the responsibilities online have yet to be defined by the law, the fact is a business may risk unnecessary legal expenses if they don’t get up to speed. Unfortunately, there is a growing list of business owners facing legal challenges in the area of website accessibility making recognition of the situation – necessary!
