Is your website accessible? And why it's now a real risk if it isn't.

Most websites quietly exclude a share of their customers, and expose the owner to a fast-growing kind of lawsuit. The good news: it is fixable, and when it is built in from the start, it costs you nothing extra.

What “accessible” actually means

An accessible website works for people who browse with a screen reader, use a keyboard instead of a mouse, rely on voice control, or simply need larger text and stronger contrast. The recognized standard is WCAG (the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines), and the level businesses are expected to meet is called AA.

Why it matters

Customers. Around one in four U.S. adults lives with a disability. If your site is hard to use, that is real business walking away.
Legal exposure. Website-accessibility demand letters and lawsuits have surged, and specialized firms send settlement demands to small businesses in volume. There is no single federal rulebook for private businesses, and the law varies by state (California's Unruh Act carries statutory damages, with New York and Florida as hotspots), which is part of what makes it so unpredictable.
Search. The same things that make a site accessible (clean structure, real text, proper labels) also help it rank.

An honest word on “compliance”

No website can be certified perfectly and permanently accessible, and anyone promising a lawsuit-proof site is selling you something. Accessibility is about reducing risk: meeting the standard as closely as possible, being able to prove you did, and fixing issues quickly. That posture makes you a poor target and shrinks what any complaint is worth. This is general information, not legal advice.

Avoid the overlay-widget trap

You have probably seen the pop-up accessibility buttons you can bolt onto any site. Be careful. Accessibility experts and many disability advocates say these overlays often fail to fix the underlying problems, and plaintiffs' firms now specifically target sites that rely on them. A band-aid can make you more of a target, not less. The fix is to build the site right, not to cover it with a widget.

How we do it

Built in from the start, not bolted on. Accessibility is part of how the site is constructed.
Checked automatically on every update. Every build is gated by an automated WCAG 2.2 AA scanner, desktop and mobile: a failure blocks the change until it is fixed.
Manual review for the things automated tools cannot catch, since they only catch a portion.
An accessibility statement documenting your conformance and how to report an issue. That is a good-faith record that helps if anyone ever asks, not a legal guarantee.
