ADA + WCAG overview (plain-language)

Not legal advice. This is a practical overview for accessibility planning and risk reduction.

What is WCAG?

WCAG is a technical standard describing how to make web content more accessible. Many organizations use WCAG conformance as a target for accessibility programs.

What does the ADA mean for websites?

Organizations often align web accessibility work with WCAG and adopt ongoing monitoring plus remediation. If you’re unsure about obligations, consult qualified counsel.

Practical approach

1. Baseline scan + manual review for key flows
2. Fix top-impact issues
3. Enable monitoring to catch regressions
4. Track evidence and change history
