What is ADA Compliance and how can I make my website more accessible?

ADA compliance means making your website accessible to people with disabilities — things like screen reader compatibility, clear navigation, readable text, and appropriate color contrast. 


There’s no single checklist that guarantees 100% compliance, but following WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) is the best way to move in the right direction.

Here are a few simple things you can do right now to make your ShinePages site more accessible:
-Add alt text to all images so screen readers can describe them.
-Use proper heading structure (like H1, H2, H3) to organize your content clearly.
-Avoid low-contrast color combinations — make sure text is easy to read against its background.
-Use readable fonts and large enough text sizes (generally 16px or larger).
-Avoid flashing or moving text that could trigger sensitivities.
-Label form fields clearly so users with screen readers understand what’s required.
-Add captions or transcripts to videos whenever possible.

There are also free tools that can help you check your site, like:
-WAVE Accessibility Tool
-Google Lighthouse in "Accessibility" results

You don’t have to be perfect, but even a few small updates can make your site much more inclusive for all visitors.
