The accessible business advantage
Having an accessible website comes with many benefits for your business
Expand your audience reach: Tap into the 25% of the population that could be locked out of your business.
Increase organic traffic and web performance: Properly formatted structure and image descriptions make your website SEO-optimized, driving traffic and engagement.
Enhance the user experience for all visitors: Accessible websites are designed in a way that reduces confusion and provides a more seamless UX for all users.
Improve your brand reputation: An accessible website demonstrates your commitment to inclusion and social responsibility.
Mitigate legal risk: Compliance with web accessibility isn’t optional - it’s a legal requirement and reduces the risk of costly litigation for non-compliance.
Why web accessibility matters
In Canada, 27% of the population over 15 years old has at least one disability. World-wide, 1.5 billion people have some kind of issue with mobility, cognition, hearing or vision.
Implementing web accessibility ensures all users can engage with your website, enhancing usability and ensuring compliance with accessibility legislation such as ADA Title III and Section 508 in the U.S., the AODA in Canada, and EN 301 549 in the European Union.

Inclusion and compliance in one solution
In Canada, businesses and organizations must comply with accessibility laws such as the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) and the Accessible Canada Act (ACA).
These laws emphasize the importance of accessible websites, which can be achieved by following the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.0 Level AA). WCAG ensures that websites are perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust, making digital content more inclusive for people with disabilities.
