The delay will likely cause some businesses to adopt a wait and see attitude on the theory that there are no rules on the subject, as the Wall Street Journal discussed.
That decision would be a risky one because EQUALITY will no longer wait. EQUAL ACCESS for people with disabilities to websites of public accommodations and state and local governments will not wait. Businesses need to take a proactive approach to accessibility and universal access for all. Start now to build accessibility into your current website, any new web pages and mobile applications.
Experts in the field now agree, businesses that want to remain competitive and relevant in the shifting market place, must implement accessibility into their global infrastructure --that includes their virtual global sites and services on the web.
Get your website teams familiar with accessibility and universal access now so that your business can seize on opportunities, stay ahead of the competition and build a better bottom line.
