Canadian Websites
Auditing your website for accessibility in Canada is crucial for compliance with laws like the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) and the Accessible Canada Act.
These laws require adherence to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). An accessibility audit helps identify barriers, creating a more inclusive experience for users with disabilities and improving usability for all.
American Websites
In the US, auditing your website for accessibility is essential for compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

Website accessibility is important for several reasons:
