What are the chances your new website would actually be considered discriminatory against persons with disabilities?
There are two terms you need to understand about this topic: Accessibility and ADA compliance. Accessibility indicates how well a person with a disability can access your website – meaning how well disabled persons can fully enjoy, access, and navigate the content on your website. Upholding this standard is performed on the technical or development side. Compliance – or ADA – is the legal side. Essentially, your website must be in compliance with the laws of accessibility.
