per violation under California's Unruh Act
A plaintiff's attorney has identified accessibility barriers on your website. Under California's Unruh Civil Rights Act, they don't need to warn you first. There's no grace period to fix it. The demand letter is the warning.
If you're thinking about installing an accessibility widget and calling it done: don't. The FTC fined the largest overlay provider $1M in 2025 for deceptive practices. Courts routinely reject widgets as evidence of remediation. They need to see that you understand the actual problems and are fixing them.
That's where an audit comes in. A professional, documented assessment of your site against WCAG 2.1 AA gives you two things: a clear list of what to fix, and evidence of good faith effort that your attorney can present in negotiations.
The Deliverable
The executive summary is for your attorney. The technical findings are for your developer. Both are in the same document.
Plain-language overview of your site's accessibility posture. Written so a non-technical attorney or mediator can understand the scope and severity of the issues found.
Every issue categorized as critical, serious, moderate, or minor. Each one mapped to its specific WCAG 2.1 AA success criterion so there's no ambiguity about what standard is being applied.
Visual evidence of each issue with the exact element identified. Your developer doesn't have to guess where the problem is.
Actionable remediation guidance for every finding. Not vague suggestions. Specific changes your developer can implement.

The audit identifies what needs to be fixed. Your developer uses our report to make the changes. No audit can guarantee full compliance - it's a point-in-time assessment against WCAG 2.1 AA, the standard courts reference.
3-7 business days standard. 48-72 hours rush. If you have a legal deadline, tell us and we'll work with your timeline.
No. Everything is email. If you want a quick 15-minute call, that option exists, but it's never required.
We audit. We don't remediate. Our reports are written so any competent developer can follow the recommendations.
A proactive audit costs the same and lets you find and fix issues before a plaintiff does. Significantly cheaper than responding to litigation.
