Warning to Enfold Users – ADA Compliance Lawsuits a Big Issue in USA Now

Hi all,
Long time Enfold user here and wanted to warn the community. In the USA, there are law firms targeting small websites that are not in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act guidelines. Just last week a friend of mine who is a dentist was served with a $15,000 lawsuit because the video on his website did not include captions. Word of these lawsuits is also appearing in other threads here on the support board. What makes this more complicated is that to the best of my knowledge, there are no definitive guidelines around ADA compliance for websites, at least that I could find. Most seem to be following the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) last updated in 2018 and available here:
https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/

I just installed the “One Click Accessibility” plugin and it plays very nicely with Enfold in both desktop and mobile. You can see it in action here:

You can customize where the accessibility symbol appears on both desktop and mobile, as well as what symbol is used.
There are a variety of options which will make your website more accessible for our differently-abled friends and visitors.

Hope this helps!
