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)

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.
