Almost 20% of US web users are disabled, according to a report from the US census bureau. Under the American Disability Act or ADA, websites must be accessible by all irrespective of disabilities. Making a website accessible is something more than checking boxes to stay by the rule or guidelines. A website accessibility design needs experts who are well-trained in website usability and functions.
A business owner may not have sufficient knowledge regarding website designs. Therefore, it is better to hire specialists or outsource your website designs. In general, these specialists have a formal education in computer programming, information systems, or web designing.
