• June 2, 2009 • Comments (6)

So you’re finally ready to launch your website. It’s been carefully designed and the content is thoughtfully worded. There’s one step, though, that many overlook, and after a recent court ruling, you can’t afford to miss.

In September of 2006 a student named Bruce Sexton Jr. sued the retail giant Target because its website was inaccessible to the blind. The lawsuit, filed in conjunction with the National Federation of the Blind (NFB), has drawn attention to the fact that many large corporate sites are not compatible with screen reading technology, which helps blind users navigate websites.

At issue with Target’s website in particular was its lack of ALT tags on its website.
