Accessibility content usually goes one of two ways: vague reassurance, or a law firm's webinar. We try for a third thing — the guest comes first, and the legal landscape gets stated plainly, with sources, as context.
What's new
Two pages gained the numbers:
- What WCAG 2.2 AA actually requires of a restaurant website opens with a new section, "Why this lands on restaurants specifically": website accessibility lawsuits against food and beverage businesses jumped 82% in a single year (2023), restaurants are now the single most-targeted business category, and more than 72% of these cases target New York businesses. A handful of firms file most of them, and dealing with one runs about $25,000 — before anything on the site gets fixed.
- The barrier guide carries the same landscape in two sentences under its intro, then gets back to the barriers.
Every figure comes from Accessibility.com's year-end reports — cited in the copy, not asserted. The framing stays what it always is here: who a barrier shuts out comes first; the legal exposure is what makes ignoring it expensive.
If your current site is a DIY builder template, this is the section worth five minutes — then run a free scan and see where you stand.
