Frequently Asked Questions

What is the April 2026 ADA deadline? +
The Department of Justice published a final rule in April 2024 requiring state and local government websites to comply with WCAG 2.1 Level AA by April 24, 2026 (for larger entities) or April 26, 2027 (smaller). Private businesses are NOT covered by this specific rule, but have faced ADA Title III web lawsuits since 2017 — and litigation has grown 40% year-over-year regardless of the government deadline.
Does my business need to comply with ADA web requirements? +
If you operate a "place of public accommodation" (restaurants, hotels, retailers, e-commerce, service businesses) you are covered under ADA Title III. The DOJ has consistently argued this extends to websites. Courts in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 6th, and 9th Circuits have ruled in favor of plaintiffs. The safest approach is to make your website WCAG 2.1 AA compliant.
What does an ADA lawsuit actually cost? +
Most ADA web lawsuits are demand letters seeking settlement without litigation — typically $5,000–$25,000. Cases that proceed to litigation average $50,000–$90,000 in attorney fees alone. Settlements typically require you to fix the site AND pay fees. A $749 full audit + fixes is a far better investment than a $50,000 settlement.
Does a passing automated scan mean I'm legally compliant? +
No. Automated tools like axe-core detect approximately 30–40% of accessibility issues. Manual testing — including testing with actual screen readers (NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver) and by users with disabilities — is required for full WCAG conformance. Our Free Scan is a powerful starting point; our Full Audit includes manual testing and provides stronger legal documentation.
What is WCAG 2.1 AA and why does it matter? +
WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) 2.1 Level AA is the internationally recognized standard for web accessibility. It covers 50+ criteria ensuring people with visual, auditory, motor, and cognitive disabilities can use your website. The DOJ's April 2026 rule specifically mandates WCAG 2.1 AA. Meeting this standard also improves SEO, mobile usability, and overall user experience.
How long does it take to fix accessibility issues? +
It depends heavily on your site's current state. Common quick fixes (adding alt text to images, adding form labels) can be done in hours. More structural issues (color contrast throughout, keyboard navigation, ARIA implementation) may take days to weeks. Our reports give time estimates per issue. Our Audit + Fix bundle handles all of it for you for a flat $2,499.
