Have you ever been online on your phone and been frustrated by pop-ups you can’t click out of? We have! “The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) protects people with disabilities from discrimination,” and while most people know it in reference to building accessibility, it’s equally as important on the web.[1] In this episode, Daniel Russo, Technical Director at Catalyst, joins us to discuss why accessibility online is important and how it can be achieved — to a degree, at least. With trends changing daily and the constant desire for businesses to have the most cutting-edge look and feel, accessibility is something that’s not one and done — you have to regularly retest to ensure everyone is able to use your website. After all, it’s 2023 here, people!
