What Is ADA Website Compliance?
ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliance for websites means ensuring that your site is accessible to users with disabilities—including those using screen readers, navigating with keyboards, or dealing with visual, auditory, or cognitive limitations.
At Brawn Media, we design and develop ADA-compliant websites that follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1), helping businesses meet current legal and ethical standards for digital access.
Our Approach to Accessible Web Design
We don’t just retrofit websites we build accessibility into your foundation.
All Brawn Media websites include:
- Semantic HTML for assistive technology compatibility
- Keyboard-accessible navigation and forms
- Alt text integration for all visual elements
- Responsive, mobile-first layouts
- Sufficient contrast ratios and scalable fonts
- Descriptive buttons, links, and headers for clarity
Our process ensures ADA compliance without sacrificing brand design, user experience, or conversion goals.
Optional Add-On: Enhanced ADA Support Tools
In addition to building to Level A compliance standards, we offer optional ADA support tools that enhance the user experience, including:
- Accessibility control menus
- Real-time font sizing and color adjustments
- Screen-reader enhancements
- Keyboard navigation aids
These tools are a smart add-on for businesses seeking broader functionality or ongoing support beyond baseline compliance.
