A website everyone can use
About one in four U.S. adults has a disability, and many use screen readers, keyboards or zoom to get around the web. I review sites against WCAG, explain what fails in plain English, and fix it, so more customers can use your site and you're on firmer ground if an ADA demand letter ever arrives.
What I check
The issues that matter most
Color contrast
Text and buttons readable for people with low vision, measured against WCAG AA ratios.
Keyboard use
Menus, forms and buttons that work without a mouse, with a visible focus outline.
Images and media
Useful alt text for meaningful images, and captions or transcripts for video.
Forms
Labels, clear error messages and fields that screen readers announce correctly.
Structure
Proper headings, page titles, link text and landmarks so pages make sense when read aloud.
Zoom and mobile
Pages that still work at 200% zoom and on small screens without sideways scrolling.
How it works
Review, report, fix
You get a prioritized report you can actually read: what fails, why it matters, and what it takes to fix. If I host your site, I can make the fixes and re-test.
Review
Automated scans plus hands-on checks with a keyboard, zoom and browser tools.
Plain-English report
Issues ranked by impact, with the WCAG rule behind each one.
Fix and re-test
Code fixes on your site, then a second pass to confirm.
FAQ
Accessibility questions
Does the ADA apply to business websites?
The ADA itself doesn't list technical rules for private business websites, but courts and the Department of Justice have treated websites as covered in many cases. In 2024 the Department of Justice adopted WCAG 2.1 AA as the rule for state and local government websites, and WCAG AA is the standard most demand letters and settlements point to. I'm not a lawyer, so for legal questions talk to one, but fixing the issues is the best protection.
What is WCAG?
WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) is the international standard for accessible websites. Level AA covers things like color contrast, keyboard use, text alternatives for images, clear form labels and captions.
Will an accessibility overlay widget make my site compliant?
Usually not. Overlay plugins can't fix most problems in a site's code, and some make things harder for people who use screen readers. Fixing the site itself is the reliable approach.
What do I get from an accessibility review?
A plain-English report of what fails, why it matters and how to fix it, ranked by priority. If I host your site, I can make the fixes too.
