Choosing a website platform is important, but it’s clear from the numbers above that no platform is safe from ADA lawsuits. This means that even if a business picks the “best” platform, it can still face legal challenges if the website isn’t accessible to everyone. So, it’s key for businesses to not just think about how the website looks or works but also ensure it’s user-friendly for all.
Remember, it’s not just about the platform; it’s about making sure everyone can use the website without issues.
