What is it?
ADA is short for the Americans with Disabilities Act; having an ADA Compliant website means that it is made accessible to those with disabilities. ADA is a civil law that mandates the inclusion of all people, especially those with disabilities, in all areas of public life. It can include the workplace, schools, transportation, and all other places open to the public. With that being said; this includes websites and content. 

How can a website be ADA Compliant? 
You can adapt your website to offer text-to-speech and closed captioning alternatives for people that may be visually impaired or hard of hearing. Your website needs to be easy to navigate, as a standard rule, and to make it accessible. It should include clear directions and callings to make the website easy to navigate. Lastly, your website should be mobile responsive, meaning it works properly on desktop and mobile.
