GAINESVILLE, Fla. - TelAve -- Many business owners believe ADA compliance applies only to physical locations, overlooking a growing legal reality: websites are increasingly treated as public-facing spaces under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). This misunderstanding continues to expose businesses to legal risk.

A common misconception is that having a visually appealing or mobile-friendly website means it is accessible. In practice, many sites still fail to support screen readers, keyboard-only navigation, accessible forms, or proper contrast for users with visual impairments. These barriers can prevent individuals with disabilities from completing basic tasks online.

Another overlooked factor is that ADA website lawsuits often arise without prior notice. Businesses are frequently unaware of accessibility issues until legal action is filed. Courts commonly reference Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) when evaluating these claims, making technical accessibility standards a key compliance consideration.
