Applications, calculators and sign-in. Each one is a barrier or it is not.

Any business open to the public can be sued over its website, and it is happening every week. In September 2026 alone, 360 lawsuits were filed (UsableNet). Federal website lawsuits rose 27% in 2025, to 3,117 (Seyfarth Shaw). The first half of 2026 was the busiest on record (UsableNet). It can start with a demand letter, or go straight to a lawsuit.

Loan and quote calculators, online applications and account sign-in pages are the high-value pages, and they are often vendor tools that have never been tested with a screen reader.

What usually breaks.

  • Calculators that need a mouse
  • Online applications with unlabeled fields
  • Sign-in pages with timeouts and no warning
  • Rate tables shown only as images
  • Disclosure PDFs a screen reader cannot read

Common questions

What kinds of barriers should we look for?

Look for barriers that prevent people from finding information or completing a task. Missing form labels, unreadable text and controls that cannot be used with a keyboard need attention. Source: Department of Justice web accessibility guidance.

Will a widget fix our website?

A widget does not replace fixing barriers in your code. Test the actual pages and customer tasks instead of relying on a badge or toolbar.

Where should we start checking?

Start with the tasks customers need to complete. Our free grade can identify problems for further review, and testing by people helps find barriers software misses.

Can we keep our existing site?
