Accessibility & Compliance

Reach More Prospective Customers

Did you know that over 25% of our population has some sort of disability? Aside from the more common things we think of such as an amputee, or visually impaired, there are also folks that suffer from seizures and color blindness. All of those impairments if you will affect their interaction with your website.

The more accessible you make your site, the broader the population can utilize it, which in turn increases your potential customer base.

Don't Get Sued!

The other side of the coin is that there is an abundance of attorneys out there that are looking for websites that are not "accessible" and sending those site owners demand letters for thousands of dollars for reparations. And they're getting away with it. It's expensive to fight so often the demand is just paid... which fuels their fire to go after more businesses.

So the solution? I've partnered with a company called accessiBe to provide website accessibility functionality for my clients. They've developed a "widget" that embeds into your website. It allows an otherwise impaired individual to render the site to suit their needs. Whether it be larger fonts, different colors, etc., it makes it easier for them to utilize your website.

You may have already seen this icon at the foot of many of the sites you visit.

The additional feature about accessiBe that I really like is their subscription covers not only the functionality of the widget, you are legally protected by them in the event of a demand letter or a lawsuit pertaining to accessibility on your website.

Annual Pricing starts at $600.00

In California in 2025, website privacy and cookie policies must comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). The CPRA gives California residents more control over their personal information and adds requirements for companies, enforced by the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA).

In September 2025, the CPPA finalized a major package of regulations with compliance deadlines starting in January 2026. These rules add new requirements for automated decision-making technology (ADMT), risk assessments, and cybersecurity audits.

2025 brings a complex and dynamic landscape for privacy and cookie policies, marked by stricter AI regulations, intensified enforcement of global laws like GDPR and CCPA, and the continued shift away from third-party cookies. Websites and companies must prioritize clear, transparent, and user-centric data practices to maintain compliance and build consumer trust.

I'm working with a company called Termly to provide the necessary website policies to protect your business. They also offer a subscription service, and their policies are maintained on a regular basis by their attorneys. Like AccessiBe, a snippet of code is inserted into the website and the policies are automatically updated. At least that part is simple!
