WEBSITE ACCESSIBILITY
Ensure Website Accessibility For All
Website accessibility is one of the most important decisions you’ll make for your practice. An accessible website ensures every patient can use it, regardless of ability. It also ensures your practice is protected from the significant legal liability that comes with non-compliance. We make it simple to get this right.
Why Medical Practice Website Accessibility Matters
Expand Your Patient Reach
1 in 4 adults in the US has a disability that affects how they use the internet. An accessible website ensures every prospective patient — regardless of vision, hearing, mobility, or cognitive ability — can find you, learn about your services, and book a consultation.
Enhance the User Experience
Accessibility improvements don’t just help patients with disabilities — they make your website cleaner, faster, and easier to navigate for everyone. Better contrast, clearer navigation, and keyboard-friendly design improve the experience across the board.
Better Protect Your Practice
ADA-related lawsuits targeting medical practice websites have increased dramatically in recent years. Non-compliance isn’t a theoretical risk — it’s an active one. Growth99’s accessibility solution protects your practice before an issue arises, not after.

Understanding Healthcare Website Accessibility Requirements
Medical practices are held to a higher standard when it comes to digital accessibility. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) establish clear expectations for how your website must perform for patients with disabilities.
- Courts have consistently ruled that business websites — including medical practices — are covered under ADA Title III
- WCAG 2.1 AA compliance is the widely accepted standard for legal protection
- Non-compliant websites leave practices open to demand letters, lawsuits, and settlement costs that far exceed the cost of compliance

FAQ
Questions?
We have answers.
What is medical practice website accessibility?
Website accessibility means ensuring your site can be used by people with a wide range of disabilities — visual, hearing, motor, and cognitive. For medical practices, this is both a legal requirement under the ADA and a patient experience imperative.
Why does my medical practice website need to be accessible?
Courts have consistently ruled that business websites — including healthcare practices — fall under ADA Title III requirements. Non-compliant sites are increasingly targeted by demand letters and lawsuits. Beyond legal protection, an accessible website ensures every potential patient can find you and book with you.
How long does it take to implement accessibility features on my website?
For Growth99 websites, the accessibility add-on can be implemented efficiently as part of your existing site. Timeline depends on the size and complexity of your site — your Growth99 team will provide specifics during onboarding.
Can I update my website for free once it's launched?
Yes. Unlimited ongoing edits are included with your Growth99 website. Accessibility monitoring is included as part of the accessibility add-on to ensure your site stays compliant as it evolves.
What are the SEO benefits of an accessible medical practice website?
Accessibility and SEO are closely aligned. Clean heading structure, descriptive alt text, logical navigation, and fast load times — all core to accessibility — are also exactly what search engines reward. An accessible site is a more findable site.
