You’ve spent months designing the perfect website. It’s visually stunning, the content is sharp, and your branding is on point. But there’s one thing missing — accessibility. And in 2026, that oversight could cost you more than just customers. It could land your business in legal hot water.
Beyond legal and SEO benefits, accessibility is a branding powerhouse. In 2026, consumers are more conscious than ever about supporting businesses that align with their values. A report shows that companies with accessible websites see a 15% increase in customer satisfaction and build stronger brand loyalty.
Imagine a customer with visual impairments trying to navigate your e-commerce site. If they can’t find what they need because your site isn’t accessible, they’ll leave and likely never return. But if your site is inclusive, you’re not just retaining customers; you’re earning their trust and advocacy.
As of 2026, provinces and territories are tightening their focus on website compliance, following the lead of the Accessible Canada Act (ACA), which came into effect federally back in 2019. Now, more than ever, Canadian businesses need to ensure their websites are accessible to people living with disabilities.
