ADA Compliant Website & WCAG 2.1 AA Accessibility Services
We've helped healthcare providers, law firms, and local businesses across Southeast Missouri get their sites to WCAG 2.1 AA standards. Three flexible paths, from a WordPress accessibility plugin to a certified ADA website audit and full remediation, mean there's a fit for your site and your budget.
Why Accessibility Matters Now
Web Accessibility Services
Is Your Website Accessible to Everyone?
Recent DOJ and HHS rules now require many state and local government websites and federally funded healthcare organizations to meet WCAG 2.1 AA on a rolling schedule through 2028. Even where it isn't legally required yet, an accessible website is simply a better, more usable website for everyone.
Who's Affected
Accessibility Touches Every Type of Visitor
- Visual impairments — color blindness, blurred vision, and light sensitivity affect how visitors perceive contrast, color-only cues, and text size.
- Motor & dexterity impairments — many visitors rely on keyboard navigation alone, without a mouse or touchscreen.
- Hearing impairments — video and audio content needs captions or transcripts to be usable.
- Cognitive & situational factors — clear structure, consistent navigation, and plain language help every visitor, not just those with disabilities.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean for a website to be ADA compliant?
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a 1990 civil rights law that courts and federal agencies increasingly apply to websites as places of public accommodation. In practice, an "ADA compliant" website is one built and tested against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), so people using screen readers, keyboard navigation, or other assistive technology can access and use it.
What is WCAG 2.1 AA, and why does it matter?
WCAG 2.1 AA is the technical accessibility standard most commonly referenced by U.S. regulators, courts, and settlement agreements. Recent DOJ and HHS rules require many state, local government, and federally funded healthcare websites to conform to WCAG 2.1 AA on a rolling deadline through 2028.
What's the difference between the three service tiers?
The Web Accessibility Plugin adds a front-end accessibility toolbar without changing your site's underlying code. WCAG 2.1 AA Enhancement is a fixed-scope, code-level pass that fixes common accessibility issues against a defined checklist. Full ADA Audit & Remediation adds a certified third-party audit before and after remediation, giving you a documented, defensible compliance position.
Does an accessibility plugin make my website fully ADA compliant?
No. An accessibility plugin adds helpful front-end tools and an overlay, but it does not scan every page, guarantee full WCAG or ADA compliance, or perform code-level remediation. Sites with higher legal exposure typically need our WCAG 2.1 AA Enhancement or Full ADA Audit & Remediation tiers instead.
Do I need a certified ADA audit for my website?
It depends on your risk profile. Organizations in healthcare, legal, financial services, government contracting, and others facing higher litigation exposure generally benefit from a certified third-party audit and documented remediation. Smaller sites with lower risk often start with our enhancement or plugin tiers instead.
What are the new federal web accessibility deadlines?
Under recent DOJ and HHS rules, state and local government websites serving populations of 50,000 or more must meet WCAG 2.1 AA by April 2027, with smaller government entities following by April 2028. Healthcare organizations with federal funding and 15 or more employees face a May 2027 deadline, with smaller healthcare organizations following by May 2028.
Does my website need to be ADA compliant?
Most businesses aren't under a specific legal mandate yet, but ADA-related demand letters and lawsuits have hit companies of every size, and the new federal deadlines above make it a requirement for many government and healthcare organizations. If your site serves the public, it's worth finding out whether you're ADA compliant now, rather than after a complaint.
How do I know if my website is ADA compliant?
The only reliable way to know is a real audit against WCAG 2.1 AA success criteria, ideally including manual testing with a screen reader and keyboard, not just an automated scan. Our Full ADA Audit & Remediation tier includes a certified third-party audit that tells you exactly where your site stands.
