Website Accessibility | Understanding the Law, Responding to Demands, & Practical Steps to Reduce Risk for Retail Websites
This seminar is offered via online webinar using Zoom.
Demands and lawsuits against retailers for allegedly "inaccessible" websites and apps continued to explode in 2022, with no end in sight. Unfortunately, courts and laws such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) fail to provide clear guidance for operating a compliant retail website. On the positive side, 2022 included some significant "wins" for website operators.
On this webinar, we will cover:
- Describe what "accessibility" means on a legal, technical and human level
- Talk about where the ADA is going & what the Department of Justice (DOJ) is doing
- Real cases, what's going on inside other MN retail companies
- Tactics for responding to demand letters from plaintiff firms
- Demonstrate electronic screen-reader technology in-action
- Show common accessibility failures along with actionable items to improve your site & reduce risk
