Re: Questions about making my website ADA Compliant

Mauricio,


Generally speaking your website will comply with accessibility laws when 
it complys with WCAG:

https://w3.org/tr/wcag21


You can use a tool like Accessibility Insights to do an initial check of 
your website:

https://accessibilityinsights.io/docs/web/overview/


Tools like this cannot check all of WCAG, so you must also check the 
website yourself.


You should fix the issues found by Accessibility Insights and when you 
check the website yourself, then check the website again to make sure 
you fixed everything.


If you are not familiar with WCAG you can also commission a company who 
will check your website for you using WCAG. This is known as an 
accessibility audit.


Léonie.
