Service / ADA Compliance

ADA website lawsuits are real. And they're hitting Arizona.

Every month, hundreds of small businesses get hit with ADA demand letters and lawsuits over their websites. Settlement costs run $10k-$75k. We audit your site, fix every violation, and document the work so you're protected.

The risk

This isn't theoretical. It's happening here, every week.

Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act treats websites of "places of public accommodation" the same as physical storefronts. Federal courts have upheld that interpretation. Arizona has no state-level exemption — if your business serves the public, your website is in scope.

Real cases

Businesses that didn't take ADA seriously — until the letter arrived.

Public court records. These aren't enterprise brands — small and mid-sized businesses get targeted just as often, often by the same handful of prolific plaintiffs scanning thousands of sites per month.

Federal Precedent

Robles v. Domino's Pizza

9th Circuit (covers Arizona) ruled that ADA applies to commercial websites. The Supreme Court declined to overturn it. This is the case every plaintiff's attorney cites first.

Precedent: websites = public accommodation

Small Business

Local restaurant chain

Plaintiff couldn't read the menu PDF with a screen reader. Demand letter, then federal lawsuit. Site had 14 WCAG failures. Settled to avoid trial cost.

~$25,000 settlement

Local Service

Phoenix-area dental practice

Online appointment form had unlabeled fields and missing alt text on photos. Demand letter cited 22 violations. Settled within 60 days plus remediation costs.

~$18,000 + remediation

What we actually do

Real fixes in your code. Not overlay widgets.

"Accessibility overlay" plugins (AccessiBe, UserWay, EqualWeb) are marketed as one-click compliance — but they don't actually fix the underlying code. Courts have ruled overlays insufficient as a defense. We fix the real source, not the symptoms.

01
Crawl + Scan

We crawl every page of your live site and run it through Lighthouse, axe-core, and manual screen-reader testing. Most sites take 1-3 days to scan fully.

02
Prioritize by Risk

Not every WCAG failure is equal. We rank issues by likelihood of triggering a lawsuit (missing alt text, unlabeled forms, color contrast) so the highest-risk items get fixed first.

03
Fix the Code

Real changes in HTML, CSS, and JS. Alt text on every image. Labels on every form. ARIA where appropriate. Contrast ratios brought up to spec. Keyboard navigation tested.

04
Document Everything

You get an accessibility statement page, a remediation log, and a compliance certificate. If you ever get a demand letter, this is the documentation that gets it dismissed or settled cheap.

05
Re-Scan + Sign Off

After fixes deploy, we re-run every test. Final report shows before/after scores per page. You get a screenshot-backed proof of compliance.


Frequently asked

Questions clients ask before signing up.

Am I really at risk if I'm just a small Arizona business?
Yes. Plaintiff's attorneys run automated scans against thousands of small business websites and send demand letters in bulk. They don't care about your size — they care about whether your site has technical violations. Many Arizona dental practices, law firms, restaurants, and local service businesses have settled in the $10k-$50k range in the last two years.
Can't I just install an accessibility overlay plugin?
No. Overlay widgets (AccessiBe, UserWay, EqualWeb, etc.) have been ruled insufficient by federal courts as a stand-alone defense. They can actually increase your risk by signaling that you tried a band-aid instead of real remediation. Real fixes happen in your code — that's what holds up.
What's the difference between this and your $250 marketing audit?
The $250 audit is about marketing performance — leaks in your funnel, what's costing you customers, growth strategy. ADA is about legal compliance — whether your site can be used by people with disabilities and whether it meets WCAG 2.1 AA. They're completely separate services with separate pricing.
How do you handle sites I built on Squarespace / Wix / WordPress?
We work with all major platforms. WordPress (with or without builders like Avada, Elementor, Divi), Squarespace, Wix, Webflow, Shopify, and custom-coded sites. Some platforms have more accessibility issues out of the box than others — we'll tell you honestly during the audit.
What if I get a demand letter after we work together?
If you have our remediation certificate and accessibility statement on file, most demand letters get withdrawn or settled fast. We provide response documentation that your attorney can use. If you're on the Ongoing Compliance plan, we'll help respond to the letter directly.
Is this the same as Section 508?
Section 508 applies to federal agencies and contractors. ADA Title III applies to private businesses serving the public. They overlap heavily (both use WCAG as the standard), but ADA is what matters for a typical Arizona small business. We cover both if you have federal contracts.
