Kris discusses the main problem with website accessibility audits: they overwhelm the web teams working on them and, in many cases, some of the accessibility issues are never fixed. Another problem is audits usually take 3-4 weeks to complete and then 2-4+ more months are involved in remediation.

This leaves website owners exposed to litigation even after they've made a significant investment in accessibility and genuinely attempted to make their websites ADA compliant.

While manual audits are essential for becoming WCAG 2.1 AA conformant, it is important that website owners strategically approach remediation so that they take care of the accessibility issues that are most commonly claimed first.

By focusing on the commonly claimed issues first, remediation is simplified and will become more efficient and effective.

Kris designed the ADA Compliance Course (ACC) so that you can give the course to your team as instructions for how to fix the most commonly claimed issues in ADA website lawsuits. The ACC is really an SOP for your web team. Your team can get started in minutes at https://ADACompliance.net/
