CHEM.agency is excited to announce a new partnership with AudioEye, the industry-leading digital accessibility provider. Under Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act, websites are considered to be places of public accommodation and must be accessible to all users. It is estimated that 15% of the global population, and 1 in 4 Americans, lives with a disability of some sort.
What is Digital Accessibility?
Digital accessibility means that digital content is accessible to all users. It enables users with disabilities to navigate, understand, and interact with digital content such as websites, mobile apps, and online documents.
Why You Need It
- The Department of Justice has affirmed that the ADA (which requires accessibility of places of public accommodation) applies to websites.
- Digital accessibility is good business. If users can’t access or transact on your site, they can’t become customers.
- SEO benefits: sites that are friendly to assistive technology are also friendly to other technologies like Google bots.
There were almost 11K Federal ADA lawsuits last year related to websites.
