Why Accessibility Matters: A Quick Look at the ADA

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed into law in 1990 to prohibit discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public life — including, increasingly, the digital world. While the ADA doesn’t spell out specific technical requirements for websites, courts and regulators have consistently pointed to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) as the standard businesses are expected to meet.

For small and medium-sized businesses — especially healthcare and dental practices — this matters for two big reasons:

  1. Legal exposure. ADA-related website lawsuits and demand letters have grown steadily year over year, and no business is “too small” to be targeted.
  2. Real people, real access. Millions of visitors rely on screen readers, keyboard navigation, voice control, and other assistive technology just to book an appointment or fill out a contact form. An inaccessible site simply turns those patients and customers away.

At MD3 Digital Solutions Inc, accessibility isn’t an afterthought bolted on at the end of a project — it’s part of how we build and maintain every client site. Here’s exactly how we do it.


Our 3-Step Accessibility Compliance Process

Step 1: Audit with WAVE and AI Tools

Before we can fix anything, we need to know what’s actually broken. We run every site through a combination of:

This two-layer approach gives us both the technical checklist and the human-experience perspective — because true accessibility is about more than passing a scanner.

Step 2: Fix the Issues Found

An audit is only useful if it leads to action. Once we have our findings, we go through the site and remediate issues directly in the code and content, which typically includes:

We don’t just patch the symptoms; we fix the underlying markup so the improvements hold up over time, even as the site grows.

Step 3: Install the UserWay Widget

As a final layer of support, we install the UserWay accessibility widget on every client site. This gives visitors an on-page toolbar to instantly adjust things like:

UserWay acts as a safety net and a visible commitment to accessibility — but it’s important to note it’s the third step, not the first. A widget alone can’t fix broken code; it works best layered on top of a site that’s already been properly audited and repaired.


The Bottom Line

Accessibility compliance isn’t a one-time checkbox — it’s an ongoing practice of auditing, fixing, and reinforcing. By combining automated tools, AI-assisted review, hands-on code fixes, and the UserWay widget, MD3 Digital Solutions helps ensure your website is welcoming to every visitor while reducing your legal risk under the ADA.

If you’re not sure where your site currently stands, we’re happy to run a free accessibility audit and walk you through the results.
