Does Website X5 produce sites and/or have features that make sites ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliant?  en

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?

This would be the best example since they were sued.

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:

  • Inns, hotels, and motels
  • Restaurants and bars
  • Bakeries and grocery stores
  • Hardware stores or any sales/retail outlet
  • Banks
  • Laundromats and dry cleaners
  • Accountants and lawyers' offices
  • Health care providers' offices
  • Public transportation
  • Recreation venues
  • Schools
  • Social service centers
  • Gyms

Essentially, any business that regularly serves the public is considered a public accommodation, but private clubs or religious organizations are considered exempt.

Hi!

I confirm I have reported this suggestion when they've been submitted, but unfortunately I do not have any information about the implementation of Ideas, I am sorry about this. In case of news I will be happy to let you know. 

Thanks! Kind regards.
