ADA Compliance Guide

Industry-specific ADA requirements

  • Listings must be accessible to screen readers
  • Image galleries need keyboard controls
  • Forms should include clear instructions

Common accessibility issues

  • Image sliders without keyboard support
  • Map widgets lacking text alternatives
  • Unlabeled search filters

  • Label search filters and inputs
  • Ensure focus order matches listing flow
  • Verify contrast on price and address text
