Compliance & Tax-Credit

Courts have ruled that the Americans with Disabilities Act covers websites — meaning your site has to work for people with disabilities (screen-reader users, keyboard-only users, people with low vision, etc.). The legal benchmark courts reference is WCAG 2.1 AA. We deliver every project to that standard.

Yes. There were over 4,000 ADA website lawsuits filed in 2025 — up 37% year over year. That's about 11 new lawsuits every single day. Settlements typically run $15,000–$110,000, and lawyers actively scan small-business sites looking for violations.

It's a federal credit covering 50% of qualifying accessibility spending between $250 and $10,250, capped at $5,000 per year. You claim it with IRS Form 8826. Qualification typically requires under $1M in prior-year revenue or 30 or fewer full-time employees. We provide the paperwork — your CPA confirms eligibility and files the credit. We do not provide tax advice.

It depends on your total qualifying expenses across your business and your tax liability — which is why we never guarantee a specific amount. Our partner CPA (included with Full + CPA and Maximum + CPA) audits your business to maximize what you can claim. Your own accountant confirms and files. Most clients see a meaningful offset against the invoice.

Essential delivers in about 7 days. Full + CPA and Maximum + CPA typically deliver in 14 days. Maximum + CPA then continues with 12 months of monitoring and unlimited fixes. We confirm timelines in writing before you sign anything.

No. 32% of 2025 ADA lawsuits hit sites that already had overlay widgets installed. Lawyers know widgets don't fix the underlying code, and courts have repeatedly sided with plaintiffs whose only "accessibility" was a widget. We fix the code itself.

If your site is already certified by us, you have the documentation your lawyer needs to respond: audit history, WCAG 2.1 AA certificate, remediation log, and CPA expense record. The Maximum + CPA package also includes a demand-letter response template and full legal documentation folder for fastest possible response.
