How to Meet ADA Blog & Website Compliance

Posted on by

 

Is your blog or website compliant with the ADA?

Another law bloggers and website owners need to be aware of? Does it ever end? I know keeping up with the legal side of your blog is daunting. But there are resources available to make it a little simpler. Today, I’m going to help you learn how to meet ADA blog and website compliance.

Let me start by saying, this post is simply legal information and does not qualify as legal advice. I am not a lawyer. This post is to inform my readers about certain laws that may affect their blog and share my personal experiences. For legal advice specific to your blog, website, or business, please consult a lawyer such as Lucrezia Iapichino.

First thing’s first.

What IS the ADA?

ADA stands for Americans with Disabilities Act. And bloggers and website owners are being sued for not having sites accessible to people with disabilities, and who use assistive technology.

This can include the visually impaired and hearing impaired who may want to access your content. 

The words “ADA Compliance” are being thrown around the blogging community like crazy. Concerned bloggers and website owners are stressing they’ll be targeted for not complying.

How Do I Make My Blog or Website ADA Compliant?

No need to feel like a sitting duck, waiting for a greedy lawyer to troll your site.

Luckily, my blogging friend (and lawyer), Lucrezia, from Blogging For New Bloggers has launched a brand new resource in her school to help you get your site ADA compliant.

With her ADA and WCAG Checklist + Bonus Accessibility Template, you’ll get everything you need to make your blog or website accessible to all.

Not only will complying keep your blog in good standing with the law, but:

– ADA compliance is great for your SEO
– Complying now will give you a head start on upcoming regulations
– Complying will help you reach an even bigger audience
– Being inclusive to everyone looks good on your brand (and feels good too) ADA & WCAG Compliance Checklist mockup image

Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)

I can’t forget to mention you’ll also learn how to be compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) which sets the compliance standards for certain regulations worldwide.

According to WCAG, to be compliant your site must be: Perceivable, Robust, Operable and Understandable.

I’m not going to dive into what each of these things means, because it’s covered in the course.

 

Ready to Get Your Blog ADA and WCAG Compliant?

I know you want to provide equal opportunities to people with disabilities and comply with legal requirements. Lucrezia will help you to do that so you can avoid lawsuits and legal hassles.

You’ll get everything you need to comply with the ADA and WCAG.
This includes:

– Detailed information you need to know about these regulations & different levels of compliance
– A compliance checklist so you easily see what you need to get done
– A done for you accessibility template (fill in your info & it’s ready to go!)
– Clear instructions on how to use the template on your blog or website
– Bonuses! (keep reading)

In Conclusion – ADA Blog and Website Compliance

The laws bloggers and website owners must comply with can be overwhelming. But they are often necessary and compliance is definitely easier than getting sued!

The ADA and WCAG Checklist/Template package provides you with everything you need to be legally compliant with these regulations.

I was able to work through the checklist and add an accessibility statement to my blog in only 20 minutes!

It is ideal for bloggers and website owners based in the US, UK, EU, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and several other countries.

    This post is so informative. To be honest, when I saw the acronym ADA in your blog title, the Nutritionist in me thought it was the American Dietetics Association, but after reading your blog, I learned it stands for the Americans With Disability Act. Blogging is a never-ending learning process. Thank you so much for sharing how our blogs can be ADA compliant.
