It'd be smart for Dominoes, or anyone, to just use Lighthouse as part of the build process. Any new code that's written, or old code that's modified, has to score an 80 or better on Lighthouse's accessibility audit in order to pass code review. Often if comes down to just building with the right front-end framework, and doing minuscule things that lead to a better end product... but those things have to be done from the start. Retrofitting a site after it has been built (poorly) is crazy expensive. Once you add Lighthouse, increase the target score every 6 months, until you're at 95s across the board. And build in WCAG audits as well. Accessibility tends to help with cross-browser / cross-screen issues, helps with SEO, and gets people out of the dated mindset that designs have to be pixel-perfect. Don't expect an agency vendor to come in and win the work at the lowest bid and actually care about doing it right. The number of clients who have any idea about accessibility is painfully low. That's what's so nice about Lighthouse; it gives non-technical staff a way to verify the work is done right.

Should businesses also decide if they want to serve black, Latino, Asian, or mixed race folk? These arguments have been had and settled: it's no ok to have a business that is open to the public and to also discriminate against anyone. > Also... and let me just harp a bit here. ADA standards went a bit overboard. I think they should apply to government, and likely businesses, but not my own house. Building code that says all the thermostats have to be waist-high... ugh, come on. I don't want to have to stoop over to reach the damn things. (= But that's our building code now. Cool. Cool, cool, cool. Can't we have them taller and just mandate that they all have to connect to a smart phone? I'm very confused as to what you're saying. The ada doesn't apply to residential buildings, even new construction. I'm not very familiar with residential building codes, but I've been in a lot of new construction since the passing of the ada and have never encountered what you're describing.
