Web accessibility lawsuits on the rise
Mainstream news reveals a huge surge in the number lawsuits file against website owners. Not all of them are filed in good faith. Many have been described as “frivolous,” “drive-by,” or “sitting-duck” lawsuits or “money-grabs” by “serial plaintiffs.”

Can you afford NOT to be compliant?
Even if an honest plaintiff files a legitimate suit, depending on the state and circumstances, their lawyers may be able to initiate litigation without giving you a chance to become compliant.
And, even if you were able to successfully defend yourself, think about the loss of time, revenue, and productivity, not to mention your peace of mind.
So, what's the solution?
We can make your entire website totally compliant with ADA and WCAG in no time… And then, keep it that way.
How It Works - 01
It all starts with a code which we will embed into your website. The code does not affect your site’s speed or performance. It results with an icon of a wheelchair (or something else you may chose) displaying on your website pages.
PLACEMENT
The icon can be placed along the edge of your website, such as the upper left or right corner and center left or right.
EASILY RECOGNIZABLE
The wheelchair icon is easily recognizable by the disabled and they are accustom to looking for it. Even if some seniors don’t know exactly what it means, they are aware that it is there to help them and will click on it.
SELECTABLE COLORS
The icon color can be selected from among various presets to blend in with the color motif of your website. Alternatively, it can be made a contrasting color to stand out more.
How It Works - 02
Clicking on the icon opens up an interface to make adjustments. While our Basic version provides quite simple functionality, our other versions feature an array of options. Clicking on the icon will reveal 4 adjustment panels. This first contains 6 profiles from which the visitor can select. The disabled are well acquainted with the type of disability they have and can easily select the best match. Seniors are also aware of their weaknesses when viewing a website. The profiles are:
Seizure Safe Profile
Visually Impaired Profile
Cognitive Disability Profile
ADHD Friendly Profile
Blind Users (Screen-readers)
Keyboard Navigation (Motor)
How It Works - 03
Sliding down the Profile Panel, the visitor will see adjustment panels for the profile they selected enabling them to fine tune their functionality. The first one is for content adjustments. Then, there are 2 others:
Color Adjustments
Orientation Adjustments
Pricing
Except for our Basic offering, pricing is based on the maximum number of unique pages your website contains . (Please contact us if your website has more than 100,000 pages.) Billing is done on either an annual or monthly basis, but annual billing affords the greatest cost savings

FAQ
Here are answers to some frequently asked questions. If the answer to the question you may have does not appear hear, please ask it using our Contact Form above.
How long until my site is compliant?
After we receive your payment and login details for your website, it can take up to 48 hours. You’ll see the interface immediately after installation and that solves about 30% of the requirements, but you won’t be fully compliant until up to 48 hours later when we issue your statement of accessibility that doubles as a certificate of performance.
What methods of payment do you accept?
We accept PayPal. We will invoice you through PayPal and accept payments through them. Don’t worry if you do not have a PayPal account. You can pay with your credit/debit card using PayPal.
What about closed captioning of videos?
Closed captioning requires that your video be hosted on YouTube or Vimeo (another video sharing site similar to YouTube). If your video is not currently on one of those sites, we can set up a free account for you and place your video there. (We could also set up a paid account which gives you more features.)
The videos on our site are hosted on Vimeo. We recommend Vimeo as they are more flexible than YouTube and do not show ads after a video finishes playing. (If you are curious about Vimeo, you can check them out by clicking here.)
Regarding costs, closed captioning is charged separately due to the complex technical requirements. Please contact us with a link to view your video and we shall give you an estimate.
What web accessibility standards does your system conform to?
The three most important ones are WCAG 2.1 (AA Level), ADA Title III, and AODA (Canada). It is also compliant with Section 508 (US government), ACA (US health care), EAA/EN 301 548 (European Union), and IS 568 (Israel).
Can my Accessibility Statement be edited?
Yes. Let us know how you wish it changed and we will take of it in approximately 48 hours.
Can I see an example of a policy statement about website accessibility?
Yes, you can see the one for this website, which represents basic (Level A) ADA and WCAG web accessibility compliance, that we use for this website by clicking here.
You can also view the one used on our sister website, Local Marketing Sense, which reflects full (Level AA) ADA and WCAG compliance by clicking here.
What do you mean by "full" compliance?
Achieving 100% compliance is technically not possible and no service provider can promise this. One major reason for this is that there could be coding errors on your site’s source could which cause our AI (Artificial Intelligence) engines to misidentify or not identify various elements, and this could lead to accessibility holes. We have no ability to change your site’s source code and would not be able to correct for this error.
Thus, “full compliance” is generally considered to be above 90%, but we consistently achieve over 95% compliance. (Please bear in mind that in the vast majority of cases, our system functions perfectly soon after installation.)
Are subdomains included in my subscription?
We license every domain and subdomain separately. You can have several subdomains under one account, but you need a separate subscription per subdomain. If you have 10 or more subdomains, contact us to understand how best to handle this.
