Discuss your accessibility needs

01Understand the requirements

ADA website compliance for New York businesses and public entities

An inaccessible website can prevent people from requesting services, completing purchases, or accessing public information. The legal framework differs between private businesses and state or local government entities.

ADA website compliance and New York website lawsuits

New York businesses face website accessibility claims under ADA Title III and other applicable laws. Barriers in navigation, forms, checkout, and customer-service tools can make essential tasks difficult or impossible for people with disabilities.

An audit helps identify technical barriers and document a repair plan. It is not a legal opinion, a guarantee against litigation, or a determination that every legal obligation has been met. Ask qualified counsel how the law applies to your business.

New York public-sector website accessibility under Title II

The DOJ Title II web and mobile accessibility rule establishes WCAG 2.1 Level AA as the technical standard for covered state and local government content, subject to the rule’s exceptions and other provisions.

Compliance dates depend on the applicable federal requirements and the public entity’s classification. Confirm the currently applicable deadline with counsel and current Department of Justice guidance before setting your project schedule.

Westchester towns, villages, and school districts should plan around their own applicable classification—not automatically use the county’s population or assume that every school district follows the same deadline. Review websites, mobile apps, documents, and services provided through vendors as part of that planning.

Small business accessibility audits are not legal guarantees

We audit against WCAG 2.1 AA, the technical standard specified in the DOJ Title II web and mobile accessibility rule for covered state and local government content. Findings apply to the pages, documents, features, and user journeys included in the agreed audit scope.

This information and our accessibility services are not legal advice. Consult an attorney about legal duties, deadlines, demand letters, litigation, and any required legal response.

02The audit

New York website accessibility audits beyond automated scans

We agree on representative pages, templates, and important tasks before testing. A defined sample makes the report useful while keeping its coverage and limitations clear.

WordPress accessibility testing: manual and automated checks

Testing combines automated checks with manual evaluation of keyboard access, focus behavior, screen-reader interactions, headings, labels, error messages, and other relevant WCAG 2.1 AA requirements.

We examine key journeys such as submitting an inquiry, booking an appointment, or completing checkout when they are in scope. Documents, authenticated areas, mobile apps, and third-party tools are identified separately so nothing is silently assumed to be covered.

Small business WCAG 2.1 AA audit reports

Your report identifies tested content, methods, findings, affected success criteria, and recommended corrections. Findings are prioritized by user impact and practical remediation needs.

Developers and content editors receive enough context to understand the issue and reproduce it. A sample-based audit does not establish that every page or future update conforms.

New York accessibility documentation: optional VPAT-based reports

When procurement or a customer requires accessibility documentation, we can scope an Accessibility Conformance Report, or ACR, using the appropriate Voluntary Product Accessibility Template, or VPAT.

The report describes the evaluated product’s support for applicable criteria and records known limitations. It is evidence-based documentation, not government approval or a substitute for remediation.

03Fix and document

Website accessibility remediation for Westchester County

A report is the starting point. Remediation, retesting, and clear ownership help turn findings into a more accessible experience.

E-commerce accessibility remediation and verification

We can scope corrections to navigation, forms, components, content, and other identified barriers. Work may involve your developer, platform provider, or third-party vendor when the relevant code is outside our control.

After corrections, we retest the agreed issues and record remaining limitations. An overlay or automated widget is not a replacement for fixing underlying accessibility barriers.

New York website accessibility statements based on evidence

We help prepare an accessibility statement describing your accessibility approach, evaluated scope, known limitations, and a way for users to report problems or request assistance.

The statement should accurately reflect current findings. It should not claim full conformance unless the evidence supports that claim across the stated scope.

WordPress accessibility checks for ongoing publishing

New content, plugins, documents, and design changes can introduce new barriers. We can recommend editorial checks and a retesting schedule appropriate to your website.

If your site needs broader structural work, we can coordinate accessibility priorities with a website redesign. Accessibility should inform the rebuild from the start.

05Scope-based pricing

Get a New York website accessibility audit quote

Pricing depends on the number of templates, important user journeys, documents, authenticated areas, and third-party tools in scope.

Your proposal separates the audit and WCAG 2.1 AA report from remediation, retesting, accessibility statement support, and any optional VPAT-based ACR.

For ongoing website care, a care plan is required: Essential is $59 per month, Advanced is $119 per month, and Premium is $179 per month. Accessibility audits, remediation, and retesting are separately scoped; a care plan does not establish WCAG conformance.

07Frequently asked questions

ADA website compliance New York: questions and answers

What does an accessibility audit include?

The agreed scope includes a representative sample of pages, templates, and user journeys. We combine automated checks with manual testing and provide a WCAG 2.1 AA report with findings and recommended corrections. Documents, mobile apps, and third-party tools are included only when specified.

Does passing an audit guarantee ADA compliance?

No. An audit evaluates technical accessibility against WCAG 2.1 AA within an agreed scope. It does not provide a legal opinion, guarantee compliance, prevent lawsuits, or cover untested content and future changes. A qualified attorney should advise on the laws and obligations that apply to your organization.

Why should New York businesses address website accessibility?

Accessibility barriers can prevent customers with disabilities from using essential services. New York businesses also face website accessibility claims under ADA Title III and other laws. Technical remediation supports access, while a qualified attorney should advise on legal obligations and claims.

How should New York public entities confirm Title II deadlines?

The DOJ Title II rule sets WCAG 2.1 AA requirements for covered state and local government web content and mobile apps, subject to exceptions and other provisions. Confirm current compliance dates and entity classifications through Department of Justice guidance and qualified counsel before planning implementation.

Can an accessibility widget replace remediation?

No. A widget alone does not establish WCAG 2.1 AA conformance or resolve every underlying barrier. Navigation, forms, content, and interactive components still need appropriate testing and corrections. We identify issues within the agreed scope and retest repairs rather than treating an overlay as evidence of conformance.

Can you provide an accessibility statement and VPAT?

Yes. We can help prepare an accessibility statement based on the findings and scope an optional Accessibility Conformance Report using the appropriate VPAT. The report documents evaluated support and known limitations; it is not government approval, a legal opinion, or a substitute for correcting identified barriers.

Is this service legal advice?

No. The Good Lead provides technical accessibility evaluation, scoped remediation, and documentation services. Findings describe the tested content and observed barriers, not a legal determination. Consult qualified legal counsel about applicable obligations, deadlines, demand letters, litigation, and any required legal response.
