The internet is increasingly where we communicate, engage, and make purchases. For the billions of people who live with a disability, the internet can feel like a series of closed doors. That’s where web accessibility comes in.

YoY increase in ADA legal action
In 2018, the DOJ clarified that websites are considered places of public accommodation and must comply with ADA Title III. In 2022, the DOJ reaffirmed it and recommended WCAG 2.1 AA as the best practice.
With exponential growth in web accessibility, legal actions have a widespread effect across industries, with small and medium businesses in the center.
Lawsuit numbers are estimated to continue to increase as the need to enable accessible digital experiences becomes more prominent.
Compliance is required of businesses of all sizes. Some high-profile lawsuits, such as Dominos, Beyoncé, and Kylie Jenner, highlight the fact that no one is above the law when it comes to the ADA.
The internet is where everything happens. Can you imagine your life without it? Accessing what the internet offers should be a basic right for everybody, regardless of their abilities.
