Cost to Make a Simple HTML Website ADA Compliant<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
To make an HTML website ADA compliant, the cost can vary significantly depending on how complex the site is. However for most sites, it would fall within a range between $2,000 and $10,000 or more depending on marketing strategies. The time and effort required to ensure that your website’s code complies with ADA standards is a one-time investment that can benefit your business in the long run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How Much it Costs to Make E-commerce Website ADA Compliant<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
E-commerce websites tend to be more complex than simple HTML websites, which means the cost to make them ADA-compliant can be higher. For E-commerce websites, the cost can range from $10,000 to $50,000 + depending on the complexity of your site. This price is due to the need for assurance that all aspects\u2014including product descriptions and shopping carts\u2014meet ADA standards. However, the investment can pay off in the form of increased sales and a larger customer base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ADA Compliant Website Tax Credit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
While the cost of making your website ADA compliant can be significant, there is a potential tax credit available to businesses. The Disabled Access Credit (Form 8826) is a tax credit that businesses can claim for expenses related to making their business accessible to people with disabilities. This includes making your website ADA compliant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The credit covers up to 50% of eligible expenses, up to a maximum of $10,250, with the first $250 spent being excluded. To find out whether or not your expenditures meet the criteria for this credit and how much of your costs the credit could end up recouping, you’ll need to consult a licensed tax professional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
