Think website accessibility doesn’t
affect you? Think again. Earlier this year, the
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of
California sent a clear signal that companies
had to ensure that their websites were
accessible to people with disabilities. In 2006,
the National Federation of the Blind sued the
Target Corporation for the alleged
inaccessibility of its website. This litigation
applied the Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA)—and state laws expanding the ADA—to a
retailer’s website and quickly became a focal
point for advocates and industries alike. The
court’s opinion presented a cogent analysis that
explained how private company websites were
squarely within the scope of disability rights
laws.
