Roughly 20% of adults require accessibility accommodations in order to experience and interact with websites easily. This means that making your website accessible will not only protect you from litigation and help your users, it will also significantly improve your bottom line.

Why Accesible Websites are Important
ADA compliance is the law (and it applies to websites too!)
Recent rulings in U.S. courts has made website accessibility an imperative. Businesses whose websites don’t meet WCAG standards run the risk of being sued. While ADA guidelines do not currently spell out exactly what web guidelines need to be adhered to, WCAG 2.0 and 2.1 are currently the industry standard.
At Murmur we can build your site so it meets WCAG 2.1 AA guidelines. This will make it easy for seeing impaired people to navigate your website with a screen reader. We will also make sure your site is easy to navigable by people with other impairments such as hearing loss, color blindness, and issues of mobility.
