Common questions about accessibility standards and compliance
WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) is a technical standard that provides specific criteria for making web content accessible. ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) is a U.S. legal requirement. Many organizations comply with ADA by following WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards, as courts have recognized this as the benchmark for ADA compliance.
It depends on your organization's location and operations. If you operate in the US, ADA applies. If you have federal contracts, Section 508 applies. If you operate in the EU, EN 301-549 applies. Many standards overlap significantly, so achieving compliance with one (like WCAG 2.1 AA) often helps satisfy multiple requirements.
WCAG has three conformance levels: Level A is the minimum, Level AA is the recommended standard covering most accessibility needs, and Level AAA is the highest level for maximum accessibility. Most organizations target Level AA, which is what's typically required for legal compliance. Level AAA is often only necessary for content that specifically serves users with disabilities.
Penalties vary by standard and jurisdiction. Under ADA, organizations can face lawsuits from individuals, with settlements often exceeding $50,000. Section 508 violations can result in contract cancellation. AODA violations can result in fines up to $15,000. Beyond legal penalties, non-compliance damages reputation, reduces market reach, and can result in negative publicity.
WCAG updates approximately every 4-5 years. WCAG 2.1 was released in 2018, and WCAG 2.2 in 2023. Section 508 and ADA standards are updated less frequently but still require monitoring. It's important to keep compliance current as standards evolve to address new technologies and accessibility challenges.
Absolutely. Accessibility and SEO best practices overlap significantly. Proper heading structures, alt text for images, semantic HTML, and clear navigation benefit both screen readers and search engines. Accessible websites typically have better technical SEO, faster load times, and lower bounce rates, all of which improve search rankings.
Timeline depends on your site's complexity and current state. A small website might take 2-4 weeks, while larger enterprises might need 2-6 months. However, accessibility is ongoing—you need to test new features, update documentation, and maintain compliance as you evolve your digital properties.
