And fix what they'd find - before they find it. No overlays, no scanners, no compliance theater. Real accessibility testing for small businesses.
Free report. No credit card. No sales calls.
The $1 million lesson
In 2025, the FTC fined accessiBe $1 million for claiming their widget made websites accessible within 48 hours. It didn't. Their overlays caught only 25-40% of actual violations.
Overlays load after your page renders
Screen readers parse HTML before JavaScript runs. The overlay's modifications never reach assistive technology. It's like putting a bandaid on a cast.
800+ businesses were sued while running overlays
In 2023-2024 alone. Overlays comprised about 25% of all ADA web lawsuits filed. Having one makes you a bigger target, not a smaller one.
They can make accessibility worse
Overlay widgets sometimes interfere with the assistive technologies they claim to support. You're paying to create new problems.
The numbers
31 individual plaintiffs filed over half of all cases. The top filer sued 312 businesses since 2022. This isn't advocacy - it's a business model.
2,014
lawsuits filed in the first half of 2025 alone - a 37% increase year over year
$5K-$20K
typical settlement range for small businesses - before attorney fees and remediation costs
41-46%
of defendants get sued again - fixing the complaint isn't enough when new violations appear
73%
of lawsuits target businesses under $25M revenue - small businesses are the easiest marks
The serial filer playbook: send 100 demand letters, 60 settle at ~$7,500 each. That's $450,000 - from one batch. They don't care about accessibility. They care about volume.
Our approach
We use the same methodology plaintiff attorneys use to build their cases - except we do it first.
Inspect the accessibility tree
Not just the DOM - the actual tree that screen readers navigate. Missing labels, empty buttons, unnamed links. The things that generate complaints.
Walk the site with keyboard-only navigation
Tab through every interactive element. Open dropdowns, close modals, submit forms - without a mouse. 61% of complaints cite keyboard navigation failures.
Test interactive components against ARIA patterns
Accordions, carousels, menus, dialogs - each has a specific ARIA pattern that screen readers expect. We verify the behavior, not just the markup.
Show you exactly where issues are
Every finding highlights the exact element on your actual site. No vague PDF recommendations - hover over an issue, see it on your page.
The real goal
We're not selling checkbox compliance. We're making sure a blind person can actually use your website. That's good for them, good for your business, and it happens to make you a much harder target for serial filers.
Screen readers can navigate every page - headings, landmarks, links all properly structured
Every form field is labeled - no guessing what a text box is for
Videos have captions - 89% of complaints cite missing alt text and captions
Keyboard users don't get trapped - every modal, dropdown, and menu can be exited
8.1 million Americans are visually impaired. Accessible websites serve all your customers, not just most of them. And when you're genuinely accessible, a lawsuit has nowhere to land.
We'll run the same tests plaintiff attorneys use and send you a report with every issue - for free. No sales pitch, no strings. Just the truth about your site.
Why Overlays Don't Work
The FTC fined the biggest overlay company $1M. Here's why widgets make you a bigger target.
