ADA Website Compliance Audit: Know Where You Stand in 5 Days
For the owner who keeps hearing "ADA compliance" and wants one straight answer. Can people with disabilities actually use my website, and what do I fix first? That is the whole engagement, and it ends with a report your own developers can work from on the day it lands.
What We Keep Finding
The truth is, the ADA never mentions websites, and that has not slowed anything down. Which half of the law reaches you decides what happens next. If you run a business open to the public, no federal regulation names a technical standard for your site, so complaints and settlements measure you against WCAG instead. If you are a state or local government, that gap closed in 2024. The Department of Justice named WCAG 2.1 Level AA and set two dates, April 26, 2027 for entities whose population is 50,000 or more and April 26, 2028 for everyone smaller.
Something else worth knowing before you assume the answer is the same everywhere. Courts have not agreed on whether a business that exists only online is covered at all. Some circuits say a website can be a place of public accommodation on its own. Others want a physical location behind it. So the legal picture depends on where you are, and that is genuinely unsettled rather than something anybody is hiding from you.
Which is why we would rather sell you the other question. Most owners find out where they stand from a complaint rather than from a report, and there is a better order to do that in. A real ADA audit is not a scanner score. It is a person who uses a screen reader every working day trying to do what your customers do, which is find the product, read the price, and finish the purchase. Wherever they get stuck, you have a barrier that costs you a customer whatever a court would say about it. We write down every one, with the screenshot that proves it and the fix that clears it.
What We Check
- Test all 55 WCAG 2.2 Level A and AA rules, the yardstick these cases reach for
- Run your key pages with a blind screen-reader user on NVDA or VoiceOver
- Screenshot every barrier on your own pages, dated and pinned to the element
- Map each finding to the rule it breaks and the fix that clears it
- Rank everything by user impact, so your team starts where it hurts most
- Name the browser, the screen reader and the date on every session, so the evidence stays checkable
What You Get
Every service on this site runs the same three-pass engine: an automated scan, an expert review of all 55 WCAG 2.2 A and AA rules, and a hands-on session with a professional blind screen-reader user. You get one report with every finding screenshotted, ranked by user impact, and linked to its fix. Your team fixes, we verify: the re-audit is half price within 3 months.
The format is not a mystery either. Read the sample report before you spend anything.
The Honest Limit
One honest limit, and one note about the clock. Nobody can certify a website as lawsuit-proof, and we will not pretend to, because there is no such certification for anyone to sell. What you get is dated evidence of where you stand on the pages we tested. Those pages are a sample of your site rather than the whole of it, and the standard defines conformance for a page rather than for a site. Read what a sample can and cannot claim before you spend anything. On the clock, the 5 business days run from the moment payment clears rather than from the moment you press the button, because that is when a person starts work.
What It Costs
Rapid Audit: $499, up to 10 pages you pick, report in 5 business days. Standard Audit: $1,499, up to 25 pages in 10 business days. Flat rates, no discovery calls, and a real blind screen-reader user on every engagement. Pick your pages. We bring the humans.
