Website Accessibility – Understanding Opportunities and Liability

Much like your physical store, your website should be accessible for persons with disabilities. While there are no clear legal standards for ADA compliance, that doesn’t stop opportunistic attorneys from capitalizing on the gray area. Recently, dozens of California bike shops were threatened with legal action. These threats can be alarming and generate unplanned expenses for your business. Ryan Atkinson with SmartEtailing will provide an overview of website accessibility, the concept of ADA compliance for websites, what you can do to minimize risk, and what to expect if you receive a demand letter from an attorney.
