What it is
What Website Compliance Services Actually Fix
Tab through your homepage for thirty seconds, mouse unplugged.
- I measure against WCAG 2.2, not a gut feeling about how the site looks.
- The 2.2 update added rules that 2.1-era audits never covered at all.
- I scan, then hand-check it.
- Legal exposure is a lawyer's call, not mine, and I say so upfront.
WCAG 2.2 added rules for touch-target size and dragging gestures that the older 2.1 standard never covered, so a site that passed years ago can still fail today with no code changed. I fix the code. A lawyer weighs what it means legally.
The Gaps I See Most Often
I most often find a contact form with no label on it.
The components
What's Included
A scanner misses things. I go through the whole site by hand for a full website compliance pass, and many of the fixes are quick.
Color Contrast & Typography
Text and interactive elements get checked against WCAG 2.2's contrast ratios. Low contrast is the single most fixable barrier on a small-business site, sometimes one line in a CSS color variable.
Keyboard Navigation & Focus States
A hero image has hidden the focus ring more than once when I tabbed through a site with the mouse unplugged.
Screen Reader Semantics & Document Structure
I once found a widget that knocked a page's headings from H2 to H4.
Forms & Labels
I give each field its own label.
Cookie & Consent Hygiene
I block non-essential trackers until someone agrees. Then I make sure the site saves that choice, because I once watched a banner pop up again on every page.
Video & Media Captions
Every video needs captions, and audio-only content needs a transcript of its own.
A Written Remediation Report & Re-Check
I map each fix to its WCAG 2.2 criterion.
The process
How I Deliver It
Lawyers read the report first.
I never skip the manual pass to hit a deadline.
- I start with an automated scan against WCAG 2.2 AA, which catches missing alt text and contrast ratios just under the line.
- A manual pass follows, tabbing through with a keyboard and running a screen reader over the pages that matter most.
- A prioritized list ranks each gap by how badly it blocks someone trying to use the site.
- A pass on cookie consent and the privacy page usually happens in the same conversation.
- Fixes ship directly, or go out as an exact ticket for your developer.
- A re-test against the same WCAG 2.2 criteria produces a written before-and-after.
- A plain recommendation follows to have an attorney review the report for legal exposure.
- Last comes a short call on what changed and why.
Boundaries
What I Do Not Do
You hear my short list of limits upfront.
No Legal Advice, No Guarantee
I don't tell you whether you'll get sued; that question belongs to a lawyer who knows your business and state.
No "ADA-Compliant" Certification
There's no such certificate to sell, so I don't sell one. You get a WCAG 2.2 remediation report in writing.
No Promised Percentage or Score
I won't quote a percentage before I've seen the site.
No Payment-Page Compliance Claims
PCI belongs to the payment processor, not me.
No One-Time Fix Sold as Permanent
Your booking form can break after the next plugin update. I never call a fix permanent.
No Blame Placed on the Visitor
Wording a broken form as someone struggling with the step, instead of naming the step as broken, is blame I won't put on a visitor.
No Pressure Tactics
I won't tell you a demand letter is coming tomorrow to rush a decision. Barriers are worth fixing on their own merits, and a rushed fix done badly helps nobody.
Who it's for
Who This Is for and What Changes Either Way
This fits sites with fixable barriers, often low contrast.
- A demand letter, a complaint, or just doing right by visitors brings people to this page.
- Skip it, and someone who can't use the site leaves for good.
- Answering even a weak claim costs money and time.
Most people never complain about a form that won't take what they typed. They close the tab and the site never hears from them.
A lawyer answers the legal question underneath, apart from the code review. You leave with a documented, re-tested fix plus my recommendation to see an attorney.
What This Costs and What Happens After the Fix
Cost depends on what the manual pass finds; a flat quote never comes before the site's even open. The report stays the same regardless, every fix mapped to its own WCAG 2.2 criterion, in writing.
Sites rarely stay fixed on their own. One newsletter signup got added after an audit closed with no label on the new field. That ongoing recheck is what website maintenance services covers.

Frequently Asked Questions
These only live on this page. If yours isn't here, ask me below.
What Website Compliance Means
What Is Website Compliance, in Plain Terms?
Website compliance keeps your site usable for screen reader users. So it's measured against a published standard, the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.2), plus cookie-consent and privacy-page hygiene.
Is There Such a Thing as an "ADA-Compliant" Website?
If someone offers to sell you that certificate, I'd walk away. There's no certificate or badge that makes a site legally immune to a complaint. So what I deliver is documented remediation against WCAG 2.2's actual success criteria, evidence, not a badge.
What's the Difference Between ADA Compliance and WCAG Compliance?
If you're trying to sort out the two, the ADA is a U.S. law that doesn't spell out technical web standards on its own; WCAG is the technical standard courts and regulators most often point to when judging whether a site is accessible. I build against WCAG 2.2 because it's the specific, measurable target. The ADA question sitting above it goes to a lawyer.
What Does ADA Website Compliance Require?
It means fixing the barriers WCAG 2.2 names, and contact forms often lack a label. That's the standard most legal reviews measure against. No certificate exists to buy here.
What Gets Fixed and How
What Do Website Accessibility Services Include?
I scan the site, then tab and screen-read the pages that matter most, and I write it all up against WCAG 2.2's criteria.
What Are WCAG Compliance Services, Specifically?
Every WCAG 2.2 AA report runs the same scan, dated.

Do You Fix Cookie Consent Banners Too?
Its own buttons rendered a full second after every tracker on the page fired, so clicking accept or decline changed nothing already done.
Will Fixing Accessibility Change How My Site Looks?
Visual changes stay subtle enough that a returning visitor won't notice unless they're looking for it, a shade darker on body text, or a focus ring the theme had set to zero width suddenly showing up when you tab to a button. The site still looks like itself. It just works for more people too.
Legal Exposure and What to Expect
Can You Guarantee My Site Won't Get Sued?
No one can guarantee that; I fix WCAG 2.2 barriers.
Who Reviews My Actual Legal Exposure?
If you need that reviewed, a lawyer does it, not me. I hand you a written remediation report and recommend you put it in front of an attorney. So that step is deliberately never mine to skip past, no matter how thorough the technical fix is.
How Long Does a Compliance Remediation Take?
If you need a number today, I can't give you one before I've seen the site. It depends on how many barriers the manual pass finds, not just what an automated scanner flags. I'll give you a firm timeline once I've run the scan and the keyboard and screen-reader pass.
Do You Re-Check the Site After Changes?
Months after the original fix, one booking widget went live with no label on a single field, and nobody who added it knew the audit had happened. That's what the recheck covers once new pages start going up.
Can Automated Scanners Catch Everything?
If a vendor tells you their scanner catches everything, be skeptical. Automated tools catch roughly a third of what blocks a person from finishing a task. So the rest only shows up when someone tabs through the site with a keyboard alone, or listens to it with a screen reader.
Why Choose Me for WCAG Compliance Services
Automated scans I've run catch the obvious gaps and miss everything a person has to check. I've done SEO and web design since 1998; here's the story.
