Episode Notes
Whether you’re a business owner, marketer, or web developer, this episode highlights why accessibility is both a legal responsibility and a powerful opportunity to serve more people online.
Key Takeaways from the Conversation:
-
Accessibility is for everyone: 25% of the population has some form of disability, making accessibility essential, not optional.

Compliance matters: ADA Title III and WCAG 2.1 standards set the benchmark for accessible websites — and ignoring them can mean legal exposure.

Inclusivity builds trust: Accessibility isn’t just legal protection — it improves user experience, brand reputation, and customer reach.
Accessibility isn’t just about avoiding lawsuits — it’s about creating an internet where everyone can participate. As Nick explains, the future of web accessibility is powered by automation, AI, and a commitment to inclusion. By taking action now, businesses not only protect themselves but also open their doors to a wider audience and demonstrate true care for their customers.
