ADA Website Compliance Audit

Your Website Could Be a
$25,000 Lawsuit Waiting to Happen.

You built a business to serve people — not to get sued. But right now, plaintiff attorneys are scanning thousands of small business websites looking for ADA violations.

Most owners have no idea their site is at risk until the demand letter lands on their desk. An audit tells you exactly where you stand — before that happens.

No obligation. No jargon. Just a clear picture of your risk — free.

These Are the Businesses Getting Targeted Right Now

If your website lets customers book, buy, reserve, or contact you — you're a potential target. Here's who plaintiff attorneys are going after most aggressively.

🍽️

Restaurants & Cafés

Your online menu, reservation system, or ordering page may already have violations. Even a PDF menu counts as a target.

🏥

Medical & Dental Offices

Appointment booking and patient forms are among the most frequently cited violations in healthcare demand letters.

🛍️

Retail & E-Commerce

If your site sells anything online, ADA Title III applies. Product pages, checkout flows, and search are all in scope.

🏠

Real Estate

Listings, virtual tours, and contact forms need to work for users with visual and motor disabilities — or you're exposed.

🏋️

Fitness & Wellness

Class schedules, membership sign-ups, and booking flows are among the most common violations we find on studio sites.

⚖️

Professional Services

Law firms, accountants, and consultants are held to a higher standard — and targeted when their own sites fall short.

Don't see your industry? If your site serves the public in any way, you're still at risk.

Find Out If I'm a Target
We Understand the Problem

You Didn't Do Anything Wrong.
That's What Makes This So Frustrating.

You didn't build an inaccessible website on purpose. You were focused on running your business — your restaurant, your clinic, your shop. Accessibility wasn't on your radar.

But a growing industry of lawsuit mills doesn't care about intent. They run automated scans, find technical violations, and send demand letters to hundreds of small businesses at a time. Many owners pay $25,000+ just to make it go away.

The scariest part? You won't know you're a target until the letter arrives. By then you're on the defensive, paying attorneys, and scrambling to fix things under pressure.

An audit flips that. Instead of reacting, you're protected.

Find Out If I'm at Risk
The Practical Problem

"My website probably has violations I don't even know about."

Most small business websites have 30–50 accessibility violations. They're invisible to you — but not to plaintiff attorneys running automated scans.

The Emotional Reality

"I feel exposed and I don't know who to trust."

The uncertainty is the worst part. Not knowing if you're at risk. Not knowing what it would cost. Not knowing where to even start.

The Bigger Picture

"Good business owners shouldn't get blindsided by lawsuit mills."

You deserve to know your risk before you're forced to respond under pressure. That's what an audit gives you.

What Happens Next Is Up to You

Two Very Different Futures

✅  When You Get an Audit

You sleep easy. You're protected.

You know exactly which violations exist — and have a prioritized plan to fix them before any attorney targets your site.

If a letter does arrive, you have documented proof of active compliance efforts — which matters enormously in your legal response.

You've also made your website more usable for the 1 in 4 Americans who live with some form of disability — that's a real business advantage, not just a legal checkbox.

⚠️  Without an Audit

You're reacting. It costs more every time.

When the demand letter arrives, you're scrambling — hiring attorneys, fixing violations under deadline, and negotiating from a position of weakness.

Settlements typically run $25,000–$75,000. Attorney fees add thousands more. And nothing stops the same law firm from targeting you again next year.

The stress alone — the uncertainty, the legal notices, the disruption — is a cost that doesn't show up in the settlement figure.

What You Actually Get

A Complete Picture of Your Risk — Not a Vague "Score"

Too many audit tools spit out a number and leave you guessing. We give you a clear, prioritized action list — written for a business owner, not a developer.

Every finding is explained in plain English: what the problem is, why it matters legally, and exactly what needs to change to fix it.

Request Your Audit

Automated + Manual Scan

Tools catch ~30% of violations. Manual review catches the rest. You need both — we do both.

Real Screen Reader Testing

We test with actual screen reader software — not simulations. What a visually impaired user experiences is what matters legally.

Prioritized PDF Report

Every violation ranked by severity and legal exposure. You'll know which 20% of fixes would eliminate 80% of your risk.

30-Minute Strategy Call

We walk through it together. You'll leave knowing your next move — whether you fix it yourself or want us to handle it.

Answers You Actually Need

ADA Website Compliance — Your Questions Answered

Yes — if your business offers products, services, reservations, or appointments to the public. Multiple federal courts have ruled that websites are covered under ADA Title III. The Department of Justice confirmed this in 2022 formal guidance. Size of your business doesn't change your exposure.
The honest answer: you can't know without an audit. Common violations — missing alt text, poor color contrast, inaccessible forms — are invisible to most business owners. The only reliable way to know your real exposure is a professional audit that combines automated scanning with manual expert review.
Small businesses are targeted more often than large ones. Large companies have legal teams and settle quietly. Smaller businesses are seen as less defended, which makes them easier targets for demand letter campaigns. Many plaintiff law firms send the same letter to hundreds of small businesses at once.
Not reliably. Overlay widgets (like UserWay, AccessiBe, AudioEye) have been sued under the ADA themselves. Courts have not consistently accepted them as a legal defense. Major disability rights organizations oppose them. A real audit looks at your underlying code — the widget is not a substitute.
You have two options. Fix the violations yourself using our prioritized report as a roadmap — it tells you exactly what to do. Or let us handle everything through our ADA Remediation service, which applies real code-level fixes and provides you with compliance documentation. We walk through this decision together on your strategy call.
Most small-to-medium business site audits are delivered within 3–5 business days. If you've received a demand letter and need to move faster, tell us in the intake form and we'll prioritize your audit accordingly.
