This month's community conversation is led by Bet Hannon, CEO of AccessiCart and the topic is "Web Accessibility: Enhancing Your Business and Doing the Right Thing"
Did you know you can get a Small Business tax credit if you are ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliant for your website? How appropriate for April, on tax month! That is just the tip of the iceberg in how making your website accessible can boost your business from sales to SEO ranking, and do the right thing by being more inclusive.
In today's digital age, the importance of web accessibility cannot be overstated. Ensuring that your website is accessible to all individuals, including those with disabilities, is a legal requirement and a fundamental aspect of ethical business practices.
Throughout this conversation, you can expect to gain valuable insights into the critical role of web accessibility in enhancing business performance while aligning with ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliance regulations.
We'll explore practical strategies and best practices for optimizing your website to accommodate diverse user needs, ultimately improving user experience, expanding your customer base, and fostering inclusivity, while equipping you with the knowledge and tools needed to create a more accessible and inclusive online presence while advancing your business goals.
