You already know a strong website and digital strategy is essential to growing your business, but how well is your website actually performing? How does it rank against your competitors? What improvements should be made to help you market and grow better?

If you’re planning on updating or building a new site, you should plan on incorporating the Website Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) that have been set up.

There’s no denying it; consumers judge a brand by its advertising, a book by its cover, and a website by its design.

It’s why web designers focus their efforts on making sure the sites they design are pleasing to the eye and make the right first impression.
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has set the implementation of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 to go into effect in 2018. With less than a year left until the enforcement begins, businesses are looking at ways to make their sites WCAG website compliant. If you’re already planning to update your existing website — or build a new one — be sure that these guidelines are implemented in the design.
Imagine you are visiting a new city and want to know the best places to eat so you pull up Google maps and type “restaurants” in the search box. Nothing comes up.

You try the “explore food & drinks near you” option and your map returns an “I have no clue where you are” message. Hmmmm.
