Missed opportunities are abound on your web site for improving your search ranking and being able to reach out to audiences who have a disability.

What does it mean to be ADA Compliant?

The Americans with Disabilities Act (also known as ADA) is a comprehensive civil rights law that was enacted to protect individuals with disabilities from discrimination.

WordPress has a number of plug ins that help with ADA compliance:
