ADA Compliance Isn’t an Option
Most website owners aren’t aware that the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires websites to be accessible to people with disabilities.
And as the world becomes increasingly digital, it’s vitally important that all people have equal access to all websites and all digital content.
Over the last decade, we’ve seen a 320% increase in accessibility cases across every industry and every size of organization — including governments, online stores, universities, and businesses.
Now is the time to implement an Accessibility Plan that improves your website accessibility and helps your visitors engage with your content.

Improved Accessibility in 3 Steps
- Add the AccessXL widget to your website.
- Optimize existing content for accessibility. (Hint: It helps your SEO too!)
- Train your team to keep your website accessible.
Step 1: AccessXL Widget
The AccessXL widget can instantly improve your web accessibility by allowing visitors to adjust the appearance of the page to fit their unique needs. No need to rewrite code or create multiple versions of your website. Visitors just click the AccessXL button, and they can instantly improve their on-page experience.
There are more than a billion people worldwide with some sort of a disability. Some are obvious, like visual and hearing impairments. Many are hidden — like color blindness, ADHD, and dyslexia. But all of them can make it difficult to perceive and operate your website.
By allowing visitors to personalize their experience with AccessXL, you can keep them on the page longer, build trust, and potentially, turn them into a long-term customer.
Step 2: Accessibility Optimization
Once you’ve added the widget to your website, you still need to optimize your content to be accessible.
We’ve put together a checklist of the accessibility standards required by the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and the ADA. It will help you identify accessibility barriers on your website and guide your accessibility optimization efforts.
How to Make Your Site ADA Compliant
To be WCAG and ADA compliant, your website needs to be…
- Perceivable
- Operable
- Understandable
- Robust
… for every user.
That may require small tweaks to your code, optimization of images, videos, and PDFs, and fixing page layout issues.
For a large website, that can be overwhelming! Use the checklist (above) to identify and fix problem areas. If you need help, ask about our done-for-you accessibility optimization services.
Step 3: ADA Compliance Training and Consulting
ADA compliance isn’t a once-and-done effort. New content needs to be compliant as well, which is why we offer compliance training and consulting:
- Adapting your content workflows to include accessibility
- Training your team in accessibility optimization (AO)
- Ongoing consultation to stay ADA compliant
You Can Do Everything Right and Still Need AccessXL
Even if your website is already ADA compliant, you can benefit from the AccessXL widget. Its overlay technology empowers your visitors, allowing them to adjust colors, fonts, and their reading experience.
It offers another layer of accessibility that protects your organization while giving all visitors a better experience.
Don’t get left behind. Accessibility is becoming the number-one priority for growing organizations today.
Build a ramp to your digital property, and you can boost traffic, engagement, and even sales.
It’s the right thing to do.
