Why Web Accessibility is a Must
You get what you pay for. Here's the case for why you should invest a little more in HubSpot web development outsourcing.

Opening Digital Doors for Everyone: DeckerDevs Partners with accessiBe to Promote Web Accessibility
Partner with Accessibe to offer website user inclusion and accessabilty for all.
At DeckerDevs, we’ve always been committed to helping businesses stay ahead of the curve. But as the digital landscape evolves, ensuring your website is accessible to everyone is no longer just a \"nice-to-have.\" It’s a legal requirement, and failure to comply can lead to serious financial consequences.
\nWe recently partnered with accessiBe, the leading provider of web accessibility solutions, to help our clients ensure their websites are fully accessible. This partnership isn't just about offering a new service—it’s about protecting businesses from the growing trend of web accessibility lawsuits and ensuring their websites are compliant with laws like the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
\n\n
The Legal Risks: A Case in Point
\nTo illustrate just how high the stakes can be, we recently worked with an online retail client who faced a targeted lawsuit for not providing an accessible shopping experience for a disabled customer. The result? Over $80,000 in fines and legal fees. This wasn’t an isolated incident—2022 saw a record 3,250 ADA lawsuits related to web accessibility, with even more demand letters sent to non-compliant businesses.
\nThe ADA mandates that websites must be accessible to people with disabilities, treating them as places of public accommodation. With lawsuits and demand letters increasing year after year, having a non-compliant website isn’t just a risk—it’s an invitation for costly legal battles.
\n\n
Why Compliance is Critical
\nThe Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), passed in 1990, was initially focused on physical accessibility. However, as the internet became a critical part of everyday life, the ADA has been interpreted to apply to websites, making them subject to the same accessibility standards as physical locations. According to the Department of Justice (DOJ), websites are considered public accommodations and must comply with ADA standards, which includes adhering to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).
\nFailure to comply with these standards can lead to fines as high as $150,000, not to mention the reputational damage and lost business from being inaccessible to a significant portion of the population. The numbers speak for themselves: in 2022 alone, over 100,000 businesses were targeted with demand letters for failing to comply with web accessibility standards.
\n\n

\n\n\n
Why Web Accessibility is Non-Negotiable
\n\n
Did you know that 1 in 4 people in the U.S. has a disability? That’s 25% of the population who may face barriers to accessing your website or digital assets. And we’re not just talking about doing the right thing—ensuring your site is accessible isn’t just an ethical move, it’s a legal requirement under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Websites need to adhere to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) to make sure they’re perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust for users with disabilities.
\n\n
Inclusion Meets Compliance in One Seamless Solution
\n\n
Our partnership with accessiBe means you can improve your website’s accessibility without the headache of manual adjustments. With AI-powered solutions, accessiBe brings your site into compliance with the ADA and WCAG guidelines effortlessly. Their smart technology creates an accessible experience tailored to each user, ensuring that everyone, regardless of their ability, can engage with your content.
\n\n
The session-based widget allows users to choose their preferred accessibility profile—whether they need larger text, screen reader compatibility, or other adjustments. This solution works harmoniously with assistive technologies, so users can navigate your site smoothly without any disruption.
\n\nWhy We Chose accessiBe
\n\n
We partner with companies that align with our values of innovation and inclusivity, and accessiBe ticks all the boxes. As a market leader in web accessibility, they’re committed to making the web a more inclusive space through continuous innovation and feedback from the disability community. When you work with us and accessiBe, you're not just making your site accessible—you’re embracing a future where digital inclusivity is the standard.
\n\n
The Business Advantages of an Accessible Website
\n\n
Let’s be real: an accessible website isn’t just good for your users, it’s great for your business. Here’s why:
\n\n
- Expand Your Audience: By opening your site to the 25% of the population with disabilities, you’re tapping into a market that many businesses overlook.
\n- Boost SEO and Web Performance: Accessibility features like properly structured content and image alt text improve your site’s SEO, driving organic traffic and engagement.
\n- Enhance User Experience: Accessibility features make navigation clearer and more intuitive, offering a better UX for all visitors, not just those with disabilities.
\n- Build a Positive Brand Reputation: An accessible site shows that your company is committed to inclusion and social responsibility, positioning you as a leader in the modern digital landscape.
\n- Avoid Legal Risk: Accessibility compliance isn’t optional. By ensuring your site meets ADA and WCAG standards, you reduce the risk of lawsuits and penalties for non-compliance.

The Business Advantages of an Accessible Website
\n\n
Let’s be real: an accessible website isn’t just good for your users, it’s great for your business. Here’s why:
\n\n
- Expand Your Audience: By opening your site to the 25% of the population with disabilities, you’re tapping into a market that many businesses overlook.
\n- Boost SEO and Web Performance: Accessibility features like properly structured content and image alt text improve your site’s SEO, driving organic traffic and engagement.
\n- Enhance User Experience: Accessibility features make navigation clearer and more intuitive, offering a better UX for all visitors, not just those with disabilities.
\n- Build a Positive Brand Reputation: An accessible site shows that your company is committed to inclusion and social responsibility, positioning you as a leader in the modern digital landscape.
\n- Avoid Legal Risk: Accessibility compliance isn’t optional. By ensuring your site meets ADA and WCAG standards, you reduce the risk of lawsuits and penalties for non-compliance.

Why Web Accessibility is Non-Negotiable
\n\n
Did you know that 1 in 4 people in the U.S. has a disability? That’s 25% of the population who may face barriers to accessing your website or digital assets. And we’re not just talking about doing the right thing—ensuring your site is accessible isn’t just an ethical move, it’s a legal requirement under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Websites need to adhere to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) to make sure they’re perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust for users with disabilities.
