If your business receives federal funding, your website is legally required to meet ADA digital accessibility standards.
Don’t wait for a complaint to force action. Contact NMY now to secure your website, protect your funding, and ensure full accessibility,
Earlier this year, Congress passed a law which steps up ADA compliance enforcements on websites which opens up potential lawsuits for government entities and even those who receive ANY government funding. We want to make sure you’re covered.
1. "What does ADA compliance actually mean for my website?"
Answer: ADA compliance means your website is accessible to people with disabilities—like those who are blind, have low vision, or can’t use a mouse. We follow recognized guidelines (WCAG 2.1 AA) to make sure everyone can navigate and use your site easily.
2. "Do I really need to worry about this?"
Answer: If your business receives federal funding, yes, it’s legally required. Even if not, accessibility lawsuits are becoming more common. Being proactive protects your business and shows that you care about all users.
3. "How hard or expensive is it to get my website compliant?"
Answer: It depends on your current site, but we have two levels of service: a basic compliance plan and a full plan with documentation. Most clients find it manageable, especially when we handle the technical work.
4. "Will making my website accessible change how it looks?"
Answer: Usually, it doesn’t require a major redesign. Most accessibility updates involve coding, labeling, and structure improvements that don’t affect your site’s overall design or branding.
5. "How long does it take to become compliant?"
Answer: It varies by site size and complexity. Small sites can often be brought up to standards in a few weeks, while larger sites may take a few months. We’ll give you a clear timeline after an initial review.
6. "What if I do nothing?"
Answer: Your site could be at risk for legal action and required remediation, which is often more expensive than proactively updating it. Even small businesses are being targeted by accessibility claims, so taking action now is the safest route.
7. "Do I need to keep updating my site after it’s compliant?"
Answer: Yes—accessibility is ongoing. Every time you add new content, features, or pages, we recommend checking that it meets accessibility standards. We can help set up a plan to maintain compliance over time.
8. "Will this help all users, not just people with disabilities?"
Answer: Absolutely! Many accessibility improvements—like better navigation, readable text, and clear labels—also make your site easier for everyone to use, including older visitors or people on mobile devices.
