Up to 1-in-4 people in the U.S. live with some type of disability. Yet, most business owners are not aware of the accessibility barriers their websites may pose. AudioEye conducted a scan of nearly 40,000 enterprise websites, totaling about two million web pages across various sectors like retail, media, and travel. The findings reveal that a significant portion of digital platforms, both desktop and mobile, remain inaccessible to individuals with disabilities despite the growing population affected. Image, form, and link accessibilities are the most prevalent challenges identified in the scan. It's time for businesses to step up! Let's seize this moment to prioritize accessibility in our digital strategies. Aside from being the right thing to do, website accessibility is also a legal requirement.
