As we approach 2025, digital accessibility is no longer just a "nice-to-have" feature—it is a critical legal and ethical requirement. In our latest whitepaper, Shine More Online explores the upcoming changes to web accessibility standards and what they mean for your business.
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) are evolving. The shift towards WCAG 2.2 and eventually 3.0 places a stronger emphasis on cognitive accessibility and mobile responsiveness.
"Many businesses view compliance as a checklist to avoid lawsuits," explains our Head of Design. "We view it as an opportunity. An accessible website is simply a better website—easier to navigate, faster to load, and available to a wider market share."
Key predictions for 2025 include: - **Stricter Enforcement:** We anticipate an increase in digital ADA lawsuits targeting non-compliant e-commerce platforms. - **AI Remediation Tools:** While AI tools can help, manual auditing will remain essential for true compliance. - **Cognitive Design:** A push towards simpler interfaces that support neurodiverse users.
Shine More Online is offering complimentary accessibility audits for all new partners through Q1 2025 to help prepare for these shifting standards.
