WCAG 2.2 Compliance

Is your website
accessible to
everyone?

Over 1 in 4 U.S. adults live with a disability. ADA compliance isn't just the right thing to do — it's increasingly a legal requirement for digital experiences.

Why It Matters

The landscape is shifting fast

ADA digital accessibility enforcement is accelerating, with new federal deadlines and a growing wave of litigation across every industry.

The Widget Myth

That accessibility widget? It's not enough.

Many businesses install overlay widgets believing they've addressed accessibility. Unfortunately, major disability advocacy organizations have raised serious concerns. The National Federation of the Blind has formally opposed overlay products, describing them as “not only ineffective but harmful.”

“We will never be satisfied with a band-aid solution that hides the real issues. True accessibility requires genuine remediation of the underlying code.”

— National Federation of the Blind, Position Statement

Overlay widgets don't fix source code

They inject a JavaScript layer that cosmetically hides issues. The underlying HTML remains broken, and screen readers often can't interpret it.

Courts have found widgets insufficient

Multiple federal courts have ruled that accessibility overlays do not constitute compliance. Organizations using them have still faced legal action.

Automated AI can't replace expert review

WCAG requires contextual understanding — meaningful alt text, logical reading order, cognitive accessibility. No widget can evaluate these nuances.

They can create new barriers

Many widgets interfere with existing assistive technology, sometimes creating accessibility problems that didn't exist before installation.

Real Compliance
