Web Accessibility Best Practices for Online Retailers After National Federation of the Blind v. Target

Speaker: Ken Nakata - Ken Nakata is one of the most well-known and respected attorneys in the area of IT accessibility and works as the Director of Accessibility Consulting Practices (ACP) for HiSoftware.
Audience: Corporate, eTail
Duration: 45 minutes

Think website accessibility doesn’t affect you? Think again. Earlier this year, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California sent a clear signal that companies had to ensure that their websites were accessible to people with disabilities. In 2006, the National Federation of the Blind sued the Target Corporation for the alleged inaccessibility of its website. This litigation applied the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)—and state laws expanding the ADA—to a retailer’s website and quickly became a focal point for advocates and industries alike. The court’s opinion presented a cogent analysis that explained how private company websites were squarely within the scope of disability rights laws.
