Recently a court ruled that the ADA ap- plied to Domino’s website and app “even though customers predominantly accessed the website and app away from Domino’s physical restaurants” because there is a link between Domino’s website and app and the goods and services provided at Domino’s physical locations. The DOJ has not adopted WCAG 2.0 as a legal standard, but compliance with WCAG 2.0 is a way to focus on whether an individual with disabilities is able to access a website. WCAG 2.0 identifi es four prin- ciples of accessible design. Websites must be perceivable, operable, understandable and robust. Web pages should be built so that reader software will work on them. WCAG 2.0 provides three levels of conformance: A, AA and AAA. Generally, the DOJ and courts have relied on Level AA when evaluating website accessibil- ity. Level AA requirements include, but are not limited to, providing text alterna- tives to non-text content, avoiding design- ing content in a way that is known to cause seizures, providing keyboard functionality and providing labels guidance and instruc- tions on where user input is required.
