On Thursday, August 18, the Augusta Metro Chamber and Mass Media Marketing will host a Third Thursday Business Builder focusing on ADA Compliance and Website Accessibility: Building a Better User Experience. Guests will hear from Mike Parsons and Rick Donaldson of Mass Media Marketing along with Ann Campbell-Kelly with Walton Options to learn if your business is following the federal law to make your website ADA compliant.

It is a federal law that your website must be ADA compliant, but most local businesses are unaware of this legal requirement.

Ann will present from the point of view of the website host and from the perspective of those individuals who are disabled or serve the disable.
