Sponsored as a free service by the Center for Applied Special Technology, Bobby allows you to run an accessibility check on your website in seconds. Then click on any of your links for further diagnostics. Like the WAI site, this site contains tons of great online resources. Not only that, but the site itself is a great example that universal design does not have to be boring. Hopefully, we've convinced you that the ADA does apply to law firm websites.
Most sites are pretty easy to make universally accessible.
Like we said above, it's usually just a matter of using your common sense, and testing the site with a text-based browser. And like we also mentioned, there's dozens of on-line resources on the topic. Making your site fully accessible not only protects you from potential liability under The ADA, but it's also just good business sense. Currently, Cynthia works for the City of San Jose as the ADA compliance officer where she wrote web accessibility standards that have received state and federal recognition as a best practices model.
