ADA/508/WCAG Accessible Websites

An accessible, or ADA-compliant*, website can be used by those with visual, hearing, motor, and cognitive impairments. Website accessibility best practices apply to how the site is built, its appearance, and its content. Implementing accessibility best practices can also help with SEO and can improve the user experience for everyone using your website.
