Still Procrastinating Over Section 508 Compliance?
Procrastination about ADA 508 compliance is costing individuals, businesses, and organizations a lot of money. Have you heard about the many lawsuits that are being filed against businesses and how expensive they are?
I've been researching the number of lawsuits brought and won against people, businesses, and organizations for failing to comply with Section 508 compliance standards, and the numbers are mind-boggling!
There was a 30 percent rise in the number of lawsuits brought against individuals, businesses, and organizations in 2021 alone for failing to comply with website 508 compliance as required by law.

Let’s Embrace ADA 508 Compliance
ADA 508 compliance is both a legal and a social issue that we should all gladly embrace. Consider yourself one of the 56 million Americans with a disability who is unable to use the products and/or services supplied by a person, business, or organization due to indecision over Section 508 compliance. Will you not feel horribly isolated and ignored? That is exactly what noncompliance with website 508 compliance results in.
People with Disabilities are a Huge Market for Products and Services
Half of the 56 million Americans with one or more disabilities use the Internet on a daily basis. In fact, some of them may be your present or future customers!
Noncompliance with Section 508 rules is analogous to having a valuable consumer at your business that is ready to buy your products or services but you choose to ignore them. That is not acceptable. It is unethical corporate behavior, as well as legally and socially inappropriate.
