WCAG 2.1 AA · Unruh Act Risk Analysis

Website accessibility, audited for California businesses.

A flat-fee written audit of your website's WCAG 2.1 AA compliance, with a California Unruh Civil Rights Act risk summary and specific code-level fixes your developer can act on. Delivered in five business days.

01 / The Risk

California leads the country in website accessibility litigation.

$4,000
Statutory damages per Unruh Act violation, plus reasonable attorney's fees.

Most lawsuits begin with a demand letter referencing specific WCAG failures: missing alt text, unlabeled forms, poor contrast, inaccessible booking widgets. The patterns are predictable, and so are the targets.

Knowing what's actually on your site, and quietly fixing it, is the cleanest defense. This audit is built for that — a written record of where you stand, mapped to the criteria California plaintiffs actually cite, with a remediation path for your developer.

02 / The Deliverable

A written audit, in plain language with technical depth.

Each audit produces a single PDF report covering the full surface of your website. Severity is ranked the way litigation actually unfolds, not by the order automated tools find issues.

i.

Full WCAG 2.1 AA Review

Every accessibility failure on your site, prioritized into Critical, Major, and Minor categories. Each issue cites the specific WCAG criterion violated (e.g., SC 1.1.1 Non-text Content) and its location on the page.

ii.

Specific Code-Level Fixes

Concrete recommendations a developer can act on without further interpretation. Suggested alt text written for your context, exact contrast ratios, ARIA label corrections, focus management fixes, form-label markup.

iii.

California Unruh Act Risk Summary

A factual summary of which findings on your site overlap with patterns in recent California serial litigation against businesses in your industry. Risk-flagged, not legal advice.

iv.

Accessibility Statement

A ready-to-publish accessibility statement template for your site, with placeholders for your business details. Posting one is consistent with WCAG best practices and a meaningful signal of good faith.

v.

90-Day Remediation Roadmap

A practical sequencing plan: what to fix this week, this month, this quarter. Built so you can hand it directly to your web developer and have a defensible path forward.

03 / The Process

From order to delivered report in five business days.

Asynchronous by design. No calls, no scheduling friction. The intake form takes about five minutes; the rest happens behind the scenes.

Five-minute form: site URLs, pages of concern, any active deadlines, and your developer's contact for delivery. That's it.

3

Receive

Your written audit arrives within five business days. Delivered as a PDF you can forward to your developer to begin remediation.

04 / Pricing

One audit. One price. No retainers.

Transparent flat fee, paid up front. No hourly billing, no add-ons, no surprise scope changes. If your site needs deeper work after the audit, the report tells you exactly what and we can quote remediation separately.

05 / About

Focused, narrowly, on California.

This practice exists because the gap between "I have a website" and "I have a defensible website" has become a real, measurable financial risk for California businesses — and the existing options for closing that gap are either prohibitively expensive (specialty law firms) or generically templated (overlay tools that don't address underlying issues).

Every audit is performed by hand, mapped to the WCAG criteria California courts and plaintiffs actually reference, and written for a non-developer audience without sacrificing technical specificity. The report is the deliverable; there are no upsells, no overlay tools to install, no recurring fees.

06 / Common Questions

Frequently asked.

Is this legal advice?

No. The audit is a technical accessibility analysis of your website mapped to WCAG criteria and the patterns referenced in California Unruh Act litigation. It is not legal advice and does not predict litigation outcomes. For legal questions about ADA or Unruh Act exposure, please consult a qualified attorney.

What if my site is on Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, or WordPress?

All of them. The audit examines the rendered output of your site — the HTML, CSS, and behavior actually delivered to users — regardless of the platform that generates it. Each platform has its own common accessibility gaps; the report flags those specifically.

Do you also fix the issues you find?

The audit itself is the deliverable. Remediation is a separate scope, and most clients hand the report to their existing web developer or agency, which is by design — a developer who already knows your codebase will fix the issues faster and cheaper than a third party. If you don't have one, the report includes guidance on what to look for.

What about overlay widgets and "AI accessibility" plugins?

Overlay widgets are a separate conversation. The plain version: California courts have repeatedly held that overlays do not insulate a site from Unruh Act claims, and several have specifically targeted them. The audit assesses your site's actual accessibility, not whether you've installed an overlay.

How do I know the audit is accurate?

Every report cites specific WCAG criteria and includes the location of each finding on your site, so any developer or third party can verify the issue independently. Where automated scanners disagree with manual review, the report explains why.

Can I get a refund if I'm not satisfied?

If the report doesn't include the deliverables described on this page, full refund. Beyond that, the audit is a written analysis of your site as it exists at the time of audit, and the deliverable doesn't change based on satisfaction with what was found.

Quietly defensible is the goal.

Order the audit, send the intake form, get your report in five business days. Forward to your developer. Move on.
