Got an ADA website lawsuit article forwarded to you? And now it's living rent-free in your head? 😅
Take a breath. You're not in trouble. You're just under-informed—and that's super fixable.
Here's the real talk: ADA lawsuits over websites are very much a thing, and California businesses get hit twice (hello, Unruh Act). Construction companies, nonprofits, yoga studios, your favorite corner market—nobody's automatically off the hook.
But here's the part nobody tells you: the fixes are usually quick, cheap, and not the least bit scary.
The benchmark courts care about? WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Sounds fancy. Isn't.
The easy wins:
✅ Alt text on your images
✅ Color contrast people can actually read
✅ Keyboard navigation that works without a mouse
✅ PDFs a screen reader can actually read
✅ A simple accessibility statement showing you give a darn
And that "accessibility overlay widget" someone tried to sell you? Skip it. Those toolbars don't fix the real problem—and they've shown up in lawsuits as proof the business cut corners. Hard pass.
The smart move isn't panicking. It's getting your site cleaned up before a demand letter shows up.
That's where we come in. Bay Area Web Solutions handles the whole thing—audits, real screen-reader testing, code remediation, and pointing your team in the right direction so it stays fixed.
