Woman with a puzzled look on her face holding a ball that says "no" in her right hand and a ball that says "yes" in her left hand. A background of question marks is behind her.

As fears over drive-by websites lawsuits grows, more websites are undergoing audit and remediation processes.  The number of companies offering accessibility services is growing.

No ADA Web Rules: Are We Off the Hook?

A computer keyboard with a key that has an American flag image on it.

On December 26, 2017 the US Department of Justice officially withdrew the proposed Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) rules for website accessibility.  The question we’re being asked at WeCo by many of our clients since then is: does this mean we don’t have to make our website and software accessible?  That’s an important question.  It’s one… Continue Reading No ADA Web Rules: Are We Off the Hook?
