Question: What is the difference between ADA, EQA, Equalities Act and WCAG? Compliance is very confusing. Please explain.

Answer: First, a short story. When you decide you want a domain you go to your local hosting company and register it. Your hosting company checks that it is available (with your country's registrar) and then registers it in your name. Your Country's Registrar then advises the World Registrar of the new domain registered and who owns it.

The World Domain Registrar is the organisation that controls every website on the planet and is the ultimate authority on all domains.

In order to have some uniformity the World Registrar has set up some guidelines that websites, especially business websites, should conform to.

These guidelines are called the Website Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and mainly cater for people with disabilities.

Each country has interpreted these guidelines to best fit their own existing laws regarding people with disabilities. 

In the USA they have the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act), In other countries it may be called the EQA or the Equalities Act. All are essentially the same and follow the guidelines set out in the WCAG.

Question: If I use the solution provided by ADA4ME.com will it work in my country?

Answer: YES. Our solution falls within the guidelines provided by the WCAG. 

Question: Why are you giving away legal solutions for free?

Answer: The fact that we are solving potential legal problems for website owners is a bonus but not the main reason we are doing this.

Our true goal is to make all websites accessible to people with disabilities so they can safely buy the products or services offered by the website owner.
