Squarespace accessibility

There are many free and useful tools in the marketplace to scan your Squarespace website for accessibility, which will give you an understanding of your website’s accessibility health. It is important to familiarize yourself with the WCAG success criterion to ensure you understand how the guidelines apply to the content and various elements within your website.

Unfortunately, the laws surrounding digital accessibility are fuzzy, at best. While the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) provides legal guidance for certain industries and government organizations, there is no black or white answer as it pertains to website accessibility. However, this has not hindered plaintiffs from suing organizations, both small and large, for having inaccessible websites. Additionally, digital accessibility lawsuits against Winn Dixie, Target, and Dominoes, have set the precedent for ensuring equal access for all in the online community.

If you’re building your website from the ground up, it is important that you start with a template that has accessible features built in. Most Squarespace templates contain accessibility features already built in, but remember, once you start adding in content, there is the possibility that you are adding inaccessible elements to your website.
