Description
Website compliance with the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) is not topic you can afford to put off. Readability and accessibility issues, such as website content expressed only in graphics or font size that is too small, can lead to lawsuits, penalties and reputational risk. In this session, we will discuss the issues commonly cited in lawsuits and citations. We will review the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) guidelines and steps you can take to ensure your website is accessible to those with disabilities. In addition, we will provide you with best practices to help you prepare a plan to update your website to meet accessibility standards and avoid costly litigation.
We also take a look at how other regulations impact the information available on your website, including product marketing and disclosures, logo and legend display and privacy. Detailed checklists will be provided for you to verify your website meets regulatory expectations.
