Website Accessibility & ADA Compliance Services
In the digital age, your website is your front door. Is it open to everyone? The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires businesses to provide equal access to their goods and services, and courts consistently rule that this extends to websites and digital properties. At SecureMark USA, we help you protect your business from costly litigation while building a more inclusive and user-friendly online presence. Our ADA Compliance Services ensure your website is accessible to people with disabilities, safeguarding your brand against legal risk and expanding your market reach.
The Critical Importance of Website Accessibility
An inaccessible website not only alienates a significant portion of the population but also exposes your business to serious legal and financial consequences. Website accessibility is no longer optional it's a business imperative.
- Mitigate Legal Risk: ADA-related lawsuits against businesses with inaccessible websites are rapidly increasing. Proactive compliance is your best defense against expensive legal battles and settlements.
- Expand Your Audience: Over 60 million adults in the US live with a disability. An accessible website allows you to connect with this large and often-overlooked market segment.
- Enhance Brand Reputation: Demonstrating a commitment to inclusivity shows that your business cares about all its customers, building significant trust and positive brand equity.
- Improve Overall User Experience & SEO: Many accessibility best practices—such as proper heading structures, descriptive alt text for images, and clear navigation—are also SEO best practices that benefit all users.
Our ADA Compliance & Remediation Services
We provide a comprehensive, expert led approach to identifying and fixing accessibility issues on your website, ensuring it meets the globally recognized Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).
Website Accessibility Audits
Our process begins with a thorough audit of your website, combining powerful automated scanning tools with expert manual testing. We evaluate your site against WCAG 2.1 AA standards, the benchmark for legal compliance, and provide a detailed report outlining all accessibility barriers.
Remediation & Implementation
An audit is only the first step. Our development team works to remediate (fix) the identified issues.
Ongoing Monitoring & Support
Accessibility is not a one time fix. As you add new content and features, new issues can arise. We offer ongoing monitoring and support plans to help you maintain compliance over the long term.
Accessibility Statement Creation
We will help you draft a public-facing Accessibility Statement for your website. This document signals your commitment to accessibility and provides users with important information, which is a key part of compliance.
Frequently Asked Questions!
Yes. While the ADA does not have explicit rules for websites, U.S. courts have repeatedly ruled that commercial websites are "places of public accommodation" and are therefore subject to the ADA's accessibility requirements.
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) are the international technical standards for web accessibility. Following WCAG 2.1 Level AA is the most widely accepted method for demonstrating ADA compliance for websites.
Automated widgets and overlays are not a substitute for proper remediation. They often fail to fix many underlying code issues, can interfere with users' own assistive technologies, and do not provide reliable legal protection. Expert auditing and manual code correction are essential.
Virtually any business that serves the public should have an accessible website. This is especially critical for e-commerce, healthcare, finance, education, and hospitality, but applies to all sectors.
