WCAG Audits ADA Compliance Audits & Section 508 Audits
Have You Received a Demand Letter? Don’t Panic, Take Action!
- Consult a Lawyer Immediately: Ignoring the letter won’t make it go away. Lawyers can provide expert guidance on how to respond, especially if deadlines are involved.
- Review Contracts and Agreements: If you have contracts with web developers or designers, your lawyer will help you understand any implications.
- Assess Your Website’s Accessibility: Hire accessibility experts to conduct a thorough evaluation of your website or app against WCAG 2.1 criteria. Avoid quick fixes like layover widgets, which don’t address the root problems.
The Importance of Accessibility
- Ongoing Maintenance: Accessibility is not a one-time fix. Regular updates and reviews are essential. Successful companies stay proactive with continuous evaluations and inclusive policies.
- Investing in Accessibility: Skipping accessibility investments can lead to repeated demand letters and expensive litigation. Make sure your website is accessible to everyone, including users relying on assistive technologies like NVDA and JAWS.
Navigating ADA Demand Letters: Next Steps
– Written Responses: Send a detailed response to the sender of the ADA demand letter.
– Public Announcements: Use your website, social media channels, or facility signage to inform the public of your accessibility enhancements.
Transparent communication demonstrates your commitment to accessibility and inclusivity.

Why Automated Widgets Fall Short
In the age of digital inclusivity, a recent legal settlement highlights the importance of transparency and effectiveness in web accessibility solutions.
The case in point involves an AI company that was required to pay $1 million for allegedly misrepresenting the capabilities of its web accessibility solution. As reported by Hunton Andrews Kurth, the settlement serves as a stark reminder that businesses must exercise due diligence when implementing accessibility tools to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
