Approximately 1 in 4 U.S. adults (roughly 61 million people) have a disability that could affect their ability to use the internet, including visual, hearing, motor, speech, or cognitive impairments. This is supported by CDC and AFB statistics on vision, hearing, mobility, and cognitive disabilities.

Websites that are not accessible can create significant barriers for these users, effectively excluding a large portion of the population from accessing information and services online. (See ADA sources)

What is Website Accessibility and Why Does It Matter?

Most small business owners don’t realize that their website is legally required to meet ADA accessibility standards. Not complying may put your business at risk.

• Demand letters or lawsuits from attorneys seeking quick settlements.
• Damage to your reputation with customers who can’t easily use your site.
• Lost SEO opportunities from poorly structured or inaccessible content.

Accessibility isn’t just about legal compliance, it’s good business. An accessible website ensures that every visitor, including the elderly, veterans, and people with visual or motor impairments, can engage with your brand. At Quick Square, we improve accessibility while improving user experience and strengthening your search rankings.

Benefits of Website Accessibility

Making your website accessible goes beyond compliance. It directly impacts your bottom line.

• Protect your business from lawsuits and costly legal claims.
• Improve SEO rankings with structured, accessible content.
• Expand your customer base by including users with disabilities.
• Build trust and loyalty with a user-friendly experience for all visitors.
• Future-proof your website against changing regulations and technology.

Quick Square’s difference is our strategy-first approach. We don’t just patch issues. Instead we align accessibility with your overall marketing, website performance, and customer experience so every improvement works harder for your business.
