Analysis of Website
Accessibility After
National Federation of
the Blind v. Target. In
2008, 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
industry alike. As
California represents a
huge opportunity for
almost every company
doing business over the
Internet, California’s
Unruh Act and Disabled
Persons Act provide a
strong reason for all
companies to make their
websites accessible.
