The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires that all digital content be accessible to everyone.

The website W3C, along with others around the globe, has developed guidelines called Website Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) "with a goal of providing a single shared standard for web content accessibility that meets the needs of individuals, organizations, and governments internationally (w3c.org May 2025)."

In future blog posts, I will break down the guidelines into each of the four sections to make it easily digestible. These guidelines not only help people with disabilities, but they also help the aging population and those with time-limited injuries as well. 

Take a look through the site and let me know what you think. Is your website accessible in any way? Are you updating according to guidelines? Did you know there were guidelines for a website? 

Keep checking back. I look forward to educating the public in the next four blog posts on the responsibilities of operating a website.  I will also give insightful information on what a person can do when they can't access a site because of a lack of accessibility. 

Everyone has the right to online access, whether you have a disability or not.
