Accessibility Risks That Keep You Up at Night

Web accessibility lawsuits increased 300% since 2018. These are the situations that bring clients to us — often under deadline pressure.

Received a demand letter or federal complaint about website accessibility

Emergency remediation following our 67-day playbook — the same process that took Aster Medical from complaint to zero federal audit findings.

Overlay widget is not actually making you compliant

Overlays do not fix underlying code issues and courts have ruled they are insufficient. We fix the source code to achieve genuine, testable WCAG conformance.

Not sure if your site is compliant or how bad the gaps are

Comprehensive accessibility audit combining automated scanning with manual testing across screen readers, keyboard navigation, and cognitive accessibility.

Content team publishes inaccessible content faster than you can fix it

Editor training programs and automated pre-publish checks that catch violations before content goes live — stopping the cycle at the source.

Previous remediation did not survive the next design update

Accessibility baked into your design system, component library, and development workflow — not patched on top where updates can break it.

PDF documents and forms are inaccessible

Document remediation for PDFs, forms, and downloadable assets with proper reading order, alt text, form labels, and tagged structure.

Third-party widgets and embedded content create violations

Vendor assessment and remediation strategies for third-party components, video players, chatbots, and embedded content that you do not control.

No monitoring system to catch new violations

Automated monitoring that scans your site continuously and alerts within 24 hours when new accessibility violations appear on any page.

Frequently Asked Questions

We can begin emergency assessment within 48 hours and have critical-path fixes deployed within the first two weeks. Our full 67-day playbook has successfully remediated sites with 2,400+ pages and 4,700+ violations under federal deadline pressure. We coordinate directly with your legal team on timeline and documentation.

No. Multiple courts have ruled that overlay widgets are insufficient for ADA compliance. They do not fix underlying code issues, often break screen reader navigation, and create a false sense of security. Genuine compliance requires fixing source code — proper semantics, ARIA implementation, keyboard accessibility, and content structure.

The ADA does not specify a technical standard, but courts consistently reference WCAG 2.1 Level AA as the benchmark. Section 508 applies to federal agencies and their vendors, also aligning with WCAG 2.1 AA. We recommend targeting WCAG 2.1 AA as it satisfies requirements across all applicable regulations.

Proper accessibility improves UX for everyone. Clear navigation, logical heading structure, good color contrast, and keyboard operability benefit all users — not just those using assistive technology. Aster Medical saw an 18% organic traffic increase as a side effect of remediation.

Three layers: editor training so your content team publishes accessible content by default, design system integration so new components ship compliant, and automated monitoring that scans continuously and alerts within 24 hours when new violations appear. This prevents the remediation-then-decay cycle.

Emergency remediation for large sites (1,000+ pages) is a significant investment but far less than litigation costs, which average $50K-$100K+ per lawsuit excluding settlements. Proactive compliance programs on a subscription basis are substantially more affordable. We provide transparent pricing based on site size and urgency.

Yes. We prepare VPATs (Voluntary Product Accessibility Templates), accessibility conformance statements, testing methodology documentation, and remediation records. These are required for enterprise procurement, government contracts, and legal defense. All documentation is audit-ready from delivery.
