Why WCAG Matters
Accessibility Isn't Optional — It's a Legal and Business Requirement
Over 4,000 ADA website lawsuits were filed in 2023. Courts consistently rule that websites must be accessible under ADA Title III, and WCAG 2.1 AA is the standard referenced in virtually every settlement.
Beyond legal risk, accessibility is good business. 1.3 billion people worldwide live with a disability. An inaccessible website excludes customers, damages brand reputation, and hurts SEO — Google factors accessibility signals into ranking.
- Reduce ADA lawsuit risk with proactive compliance
- Reach 1.3 billion people with disabilities worldwide
- Improve SEO — accessible sites rank better
- Meet enterprise and government procurement requirements

No Overlays
Why Accessibility Overlays Don't Work
Overlay widgets like AccessiBe, UserWay, and AudioEye promise instant accessibility compliance. In reality, they don't fix the underlying code issues — and they've been specifically rejected by disability advocacy organisations and cited in ADA lawsuits as insufficient.
The only way to achieve genuine WCAG compliance is to fix the source code: semantic HTML, proper ARIA attributes, keyboard navigation, colour contrast, and form labels. That's what we do.
Common Questions
WCAG Compliance — FAQs
WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) is the international standard for web accessibility. It defines technical criteria that make websites usable by people with visual, auditory, motor, and cognitive disabilities. WCAG 2.1 and 2.2 Level AA is the standard required for ADA compliance in the US and equivalent legislation worldwide.
In practice, yes. ADA Title III lawsuits against websites have increased dramatically — over 4,000 were filed in 2023 alone. Courts consistently apply ADA requirements to websites, and WCAG 2.1 AA is the standard referenced in nearly every settlement and consent decree. Proactive compliance is far cheaper than litigation.
WCAG 2.2 (published October 2023) adds 9 new success criteria on top of WCAG 2.1, with a focus on mobile accessibility, cognitive disabilities, and improved authentication. Key additions include dragging alternatives, consistent help placement, and accessible authentication. We implement both 2.1 and 2.2 criteria.
No. Overlay widgets (like AccessiBe, UserWay, etc.) do not fix the underlying code issues that cause accessibility barriers. They have been rejected by disability advocacy groups, criticised by accessibility professionals, and specifically cited in ADA lawsuits as insufficient. We fix accessibility at the code level — the only approach that works.
A typical WCAG remediation project takes 2–6 weeks depending on the size and complexity of your website. A small marketing site might take 2 weeks. A large eCommerce store with hundreds of pages takes 4–6 weeks. We provide a timeline after a free accessibility audit.
Yes. We have deep Shopify expertise (certified Shopify Partner, 10+ published apps) combined with accessibility engineering skills. We remediate Shopify themes at the Liquid code level — fixing semantic HTML, ARIA roles, keyboard navigation, colour contrast, and form labels throughout.
Yes. Every project begins with a comprehensive accessibility audit using automated tools (axe, WAVE, Lighthouse) combined with manual testing (keyboard navigation, screen reader testing with NVDA/VoiceOver). You receive a detailed report of all issues found, prioritised by severity.
A VPAT (Voluntary Product Accessibility Template) is a standardised document that describes how your product conforms to accessibility standards. We provide VPATs and Accessibility Conformance Reports (ACRs) on request — essential for enterprise clients and government contracts.
