focusing on accessibility

changes lives

Web Access Pro is a chrome extension to analyze websites to determine compliance with accessibility guidelines. Items found to be non-compliant will be flagged and a reference that indicates a possible fix will be available. In this way. the extension can be used to help designers and developers build websites with accessibility in mind. This allows those with disabilities access to the content being presented.

In 2021, 97% of U.S. websites were determined to be non-compliant with accessibility standards. Although in the U.S., the Americans with Disabilities Act celebrated a 30 year anniversary recently and it was applied to all electronic and information technology in 2010, the scope of the problem shows that we are not doing enough to serve those with disabilities.

While the ADA did not offer specific guidelines for website compliance, the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) created by the nonprofit World Wide Web Consortium are a reference for understanding digital accessibility. In the United States, without an ADA-compliant website a business will be open to lawsuits. Internationally, the guidance is that most websites should follow WCAG 2.1 guidelines; however, laws and consequences differ from country to country.

From the National Law Review, U.S. companies have been inundated with lawsuits in the past several years. They have increased 75 percent. The cases target all manner of business across a wide range of industries.
