Make Your Website Accessible (and Avoid Lawsuits‎)

In this episode, we learn what it means to have an accessible website, why you should care, and how you can benefit.

You'll hear the answers to:

• What does an accessible website mean?
• Is that the same thing as the ADA?
• What can merchants get out of having an accessible website?
• Doesn’t Shopify take care of web accessibility for me?
