Does Website X5 Professional produce ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliant code or offer any features to comply with the accessibility of the site for disabled (visually or audially) website visitors.
Apparently, there is a significant rise in the U.S. in lawsuits against small businessowners whose websites do not provide accessibility features for hearing or sight-impaired visitors. Has website X5 considered this in its design or coding... does it have any features for compliance... or is this something that's never been considered?

Thanks! Kind regards.

Title III Compliance
As far as Title III is concerned, only businesses considered "public accommodations" are required to comply. The federal law offers this non-exhaustive list of public accomodations:
Essentially, any business that regularly serves the public is considered a public accommodation, but private clubs or religious organizations are considered exempt.
