ADA Website Assessments
Know where your website stands on accessibility
I test your site against WCAG 2.1 and 2.2 and send a plain-English report with video samples of every problem I find, so you know what to fix first.
Website accessibility lawsuits are rising, and Florida is one of the busiest states for them. Many of the claims point to small, fixable issues like missing image descriptions, unlabeled form fields and text that is hard to read.
The Department of Justice says the ADA applies to businesses open to the public, including what they offer online, but it has not written a detailed technical rule for private websites. Most assessments use the WCAG guidelines as the working yardstick.
BizIT tests your site with automated tools and by hand, using a keyboard and a screen reader, then documents each problem with a short video so your developer can see exactly what a visitor experiences. I assess and help fix. I am not a law firm and this is not legal advice.

Problems I help businesses solve
A demand letter you did not see coming
Owners often learn about accessibility only when a letter arrives. By then the clock is running and you do not know what is actually wrong.
Overlay widgets that promise a quick fix
A one-line script that claims to make a site compliant is tempting. The FTC fined one such vendor for claims it could not support.
Reports nobody can act on
Many audits are long lists of codes. Your web developer needs to see the problem, not decode it.
Not sure which standard applies
WCAG 2.1, 2.2, Level A, Level AA. It is easy to pay for the wrong scope or test too little.

FAQ
Common questions
Does the ADA apply to my business website?
The Department of Justice has long said the ADA covers what businesses open to the public offer online. There is no detailed federal rule for private websites, so WCAG is used as the practical guide. I am not a law firm, so talk to an attorney about your specific exposure.
What is the difference between WCAG 2.1 and 2.2?
WCAG 2.2 became a W3C Recommendation in December 2024 and adds nine success criteria while remaining backward compatible with 2.1. I test against both so you are covered whichever one a reviewer cites.
Will an accessibility overlay or plugin make my site compliant?
Not on its own. The FTC ordered one major overlay vendor to pay $1 million over claims that its tool could make any site WCAG compliant. Real fixes happen in the site code and content.
What will I get in the report?
A prioritized list of issues by page, the WCAG criterion each one affects, a recommended fix, and video samples showing the problem from a visitor's point of view.
Can you fix the problems too?
Yes, on sites I build or manage, and I can coordinate with your existing developer on others. I re-test afterward to confirm the fixes worked.
Can you guarantee I will not be sued?
No one honestly can. An assessment and remediation show good faith and remove real barriers, but I cannot promise legal outcomes.
