Why this matters now
Legal exposure is real
ADA website lawsuits are rising sharply. Any business or nonprofit open to the public can be targeted — including right here in Virginia.
April 2026 DOJ deadline
New DOJ rules require WCAG 2.1 AA compliance for public entities and their vendors. Non-compliance could cost you contracts.
Overlays don't protect you
Accessibility plugins and widgets don't fix underlying code. In 2024, 23% of ADA lawsuits targeted sites using these tools.
26% of adults have a disability
That's over 1 in 4 potential visitors or clients who may not be able to fully use your site today.

FAQ
ADA compliance questions, answered
If your organization is open to the public — including nonprofits, healthcare providers, and government contractors — your website is likely subject to ADA Title II or Title III requirements. A new DOJ rule effective April 24, 2026 requires public entities and their vendors to meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards. Non-compliance puts you at risk of lawsuits and loss of government contracts.
The U.S. Department of Justice issued a final rule under Title II of the ADA requiring state and local government entities — and their vendors — to conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA by April 24, 2026. This is the first time a specific technical standard has been written into federal ADA regulation, making compliance legally enforceable.
No. Accessibility overlays and plugins do not fix the underlying code issues that cause non-compliance. In 2024, 23% of ADA web lawsuits targeted sites that were already using these tools. Only code-level remediation — fixing the actual HTML, CSS, and JavaScript — provides real legal protection and genuine accessibility for users.
Cost depends on the size and complexity of your site and the number of issues found in the audit. For most small-to-mid-size business websites, remediation is far less expensive than even a single ADA lawsuit settlement — which typically runs $5,000–$75,000 plus legal fees. We offer a free 15-minute site review so you know your risk level before spending anything.
You can receive a demand letter or be named in a federal lawsuit with no prior warning. Over 2,500 ADA web cases were filed in federal court in 2024 alone. Beyond legal exposure, non-compliant sites exclude the 26% of adults with a disability — real customers and constituents who cannot fully use your site. Government contractors can also lose contract eligibility.
