Why make your website accessible?
IT’S THE LAW
The ADA is the Americans with Disabilities Act, an American civil rights law passed in 1990. The law prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public life, including jobs, schools, transportation, and all public and private places open to the general public. Since 2018, websites have been considered public places of accommodation and are covered under the ADA.
BETTER SEARCH ENGINE PERFORMANCE
When a website is accessible, it means more people visit it, fewer people leave quickly, it shows up higher in search results, and more people become interested in what you have to offer - basically, an accessible website makes it easier for people to find you online.
MORE POTENTIAL USERS
When you make your website accessible, you're allowing around 16% of the world's population, and 27% of the US population, who have disabilities to use it. This means more people can visit your site, have a good experience, and become potential customers.
POSSIBLE TAX CREDITS
The Disabled Access Credit is a non-refundable credit for small businesses that have expenses for providing access to people with disabilities. An eligible small business is one that earned $1 million or less or had no more than 30 full-time employees in the previous year. Small businesses claim the 50% credit for eligible access expenditures by consulting a tax professional.
REPUTATION AS A BRAND THAT CARES
Your brand’s reputation and social responsibility are crucial for business, and web accessibility is an essential part of this. Having an accessible website says you understand that the disability community has $13 trillion annual spending power, that you see them, and that you value their business.
