of the top million homepages fail basic WCAG checks
Inaccessibility is the default state of the web. Being the exception is cheap differentiation.
WebAIM Million 2026A Web That Works
for Everyone.
Accessibility that opens your site to every visitor and holds up under WCAG scrutiny. Real remediation, not a widget, because one in four adults lives with a disability, and every one of them is a customer.

Why it matters
The Web's Biggest
Unforced Error.
Most sites lock out customers they paid to acquire. The standard is written, the fix is known, and almost nobody does it.
US web accessibility lawsuits filed last year
A double-digit surge, with roughly 70% aimed at e-commerce. Small sites are no longer under the radar.

The one-line-of-code overlay doesn't fix the code underneath, and plaintiff firms know it.

Before counting the family and friends who shop with them. An inaccessible site turns all of it away.

The hard truth
Why We Don't
Sell Overlays.
Overlay widgets promise compliance in one line of code. But they can't repair the code underneath, many assistive-tech users disable them on sight, and sites running them still get sued. We do the real work instead.
- Code-level fixes, not cosmetic layers
- Tested with real assistive technology
- Improvements that also help SEO + speed
- Documentation that shows good faith
- Training so it stays fixed
How we work
From Barriers
to Open Doors.
Five phases that make the site work for everyone, and keep it that way.
- 01
Audit
Automated scans, manual review, and real assistive-tech testing. The honest picture, documented.
- 02
Prioritize
Critical barriers first: the ones blocking users and drawing lawsuits. Ranked by impact, not alphabet.
- 03
Remediate
Code-level fixes shipped in batches. Contrast, semantics, keyboard paths, forms.
- 04
Verify
Retested with screen readers and keyboards, not just checkers. Passing a scan isn't the goal, working is.
- 05
Maintain
Monitoring, regression checks, statement upkeep, and team training. Accessible stays accessible.
The audience
Who You're
Building For.
Accessibility isn't a niche feature. It's the widest possible definition of "works."
Screen Readers
Semantic structure and alt text make the page speak clearly, in order, without gaps.
Keyboard Users
Everything reachable, focus always visible, no traps. No mouse required.
Low Vision
Contrast, scalable type, and layouts that survive 200% zoom with dignity.
Color Blindness
Meaning never carried by color alone. One in twelve men will quietly thank you.
Motor Impairments
Bigger targets, forgiving forms, and time limits that don't punish.
Everyone, Eventually
Bright sun, broken arm, aging eyes. Accessibility is a when, not an if.
Outcomes
The Numbers
We Move.
Accessibility pays out everywhere at once: audience, usability, rankings, and risk. These are the returns.
- A measurably larger addressable audience
- Reduced legal exposure, documented in good faith
- Better usability for every visitor
- SEO gains from cleaner structure
- Checkout and forms that work for everyone
- A site that ages gracefully

FAQ
Questions,
Answered.
The things every smart buyer asks before an accessibility engagement. Straight answers, no fine print.
Are we legally required to have an accessible website?
We're not lawyers, so this isn't legal advice. What we can tell you: courts and the DOJ have consistently treated websites as places of public accommodation under the ADA, WCAG is the reference standard, and lawsuit volume keeps climbing. Our job is making your site genuinely usable and WCAG-aligned, which is both the point and the best defense.
Will an accessibility widget or overlay protect us?
No, and the data is blunt about it: a meaningful share of accessibility lawsuits now target sites that already have a widget installed. Overlays paint over the code without fixing it. We fix the code.
What is WCAG, and what level do we need?
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, the global standard for accessible sites. Level AA of the current version is the benchmark courts, regulators, and procurement teams reference, so that's the bar we work to.
How long does remediation take?
Depends on the debt. Most of the web's failures come from the same six basic issues, so critical barriers usually fall in weeks. Full remediation is a project; staying accessible is a habit we help you build.
Will the fixes change how our site looks?
Mostly invisibly. Contrast adjustments, focus states, and clearer link text tend to make sites look sharper, not different. Good accessibility and good design are the same discipline.
Does accessibility help SEO?
Meaningfully. Alt text, heading structure, descriptive links, and clean semantics are the same signals search engines and AI answers read. Accessible sites are simply easier for every kind of reader, human or machine.
Will screen readers pronounce our brand name right?
We can nudge them with markup, but no promises: ours comes out 'un-RAH-vel' sometimes, and we've chosen to find it charming. What matters is that every word around it works perfectly.
