The ADA and the Web: New Ruling Calls for Increased Accessibility to Business Websites

Surfing the web. It’s something most of us take for granted. Something we do every day. We use the web to perform many routine tasks such as reading the newspaper, checking stock prices and even shopping. It’s so convenient. We don’t have to go out in the rain or cold, we avoid those lines at the mall, and we save money on gas. For one group of disabled persons, however, surfing the web is not something that can be taken for granted. For the blind and visually impaired, many websites are inaccessible. A federal court ruling may soon change that along with the requirements that many business websites have to meet.
