Your website has an accessibility grade. A bad one can get you sued.
We find and fix the problems that stop people with disabilities from using your website: the problems behind ADA lawsuits, state lawsuits and the new federal rules for healthcare and government. Then we keep your site at an A.

CDCFor your website, that means customers who use screen readers, who can't use a mouse, or who can't read faint text. If your images have no descriptions, your buttons can't be reached with a keyboard or your forms have no labels, they can't book, buy or call. That is what lawsuits are filed over.

UsableNetThe rules, in plain words.
Three names come up again and again. Here is what each one means for your website.
The ADA
The Americans with Disabilities Act. Title III covers every business open to the public, and people sue businesses over their websites under it every week. Title II covers state and local governments, public schools and their vendors, with deadlines of April 26, 2027 for governments of 50,000 people or more and April 26, 2028 for smaller ones.
How the ADA applies to websitesSection 504
A federal health rule for anyone paid by Medicare, Medicaid or other HHS programs, from hospitals to two-chair dental offices. Websites and apps must meet WCAG 2.1 AA by May 11, 2027, or May 10, 2028 with fewer than 15 employees.
Read the Section 504 guideWCAG
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines: the technical checklist behind all of it, written by the W3C. The federal rules name WCAG 2.1 AA. We grade and fix to WCAG 2.2 AA, which covers it.

Your website.
In plain sight.
Your grade comes on a label you can read in one pass: every problem, how many times it shows up, and what fixing it does to your grade.

Take Medicare or Medicaid? A federal rule gives your website a deadline: May 2027.
Section 504 now requires every organization that takes HHS money, from hospitals to two-chair dental offices, to make its website and apps meet WCAG 2.1 AA. HHS moved the date back one year in May 2026. The rule did not change, and a lawsuit could still bring the original date back.

The law, in plain words.
- Federal website accessibility lawsuits in 2025
- 3,117Up 27% on 2024 (Seyfarth Shaw). Nearly half of 2025 federal cases named a business that had been sued before (UsableNet).
- 2026 so far
- The busiest first half on record. On pace for more than 6,000 lawsuits counting state courts (UsableNet).
- Private lawsuits
- Happening every week. Any business open to the public can be sued over its website under Title III of the ADA.
- Federal deadlines
- Healthcare providers with 15 or more staff that take federal funds: May 11, 2027, smaller ones May 10, 2028. Large state and local governments: April 26, 2027. Extended a year, not cancelled.
- New in 2026
- In Utah and Missouri, a business that fixes the problem within 90 days of a detailed written notice can ask a state court to presume the lawsuit was abusive and to award its legal fees. Neither law stops the lawsuit or removes the duty to fix. Fixing fast now counts.
