The stakes

An inaccessible website is now a legal risk

In 2024, the U.S. Department of Justice made web accessibility a legal requirement for state and local government — including public schools. The benchmark is WCAG 2.1 AA, the internationally recognized standard for accessible websites.

The average case: about $25,000

Most complaints don't end in a government fine — they end in a legal settlement and an urgent scramble to fix your site. Accessibility settlements average around $25,000, and the full cost of a case (legal help plus repairs) usually runs much higher.

Two firm deadlines

April 26, 2027 for larger districts and governments (those serving 50,000+ people). April 26, 2028 for smaller ones. After that, an inaccessible website breaks federal law.

A complaint can come from anyone

Any parent, resident, or advocacy group can file a complaint with the U.S. Office for Civil Rights — the federal agency that investigates discrimination at schools and public bodies. There's no warning, and a complaint can put you under a binding agreement to fix everything on a deadline.

How it works

Set it once. Stay on top of accessibility every day.

No plugins to install, no code to touch. ADA Genie watches your live site the way a real visitor's browser loads it.

  1. 1

    Daily automated scan

    Every day, we scan your whole site with the same accessibility engine that powers Google Lighthouse — with coverage benchmarked against WebAIM's WAVE tool — checking WCAG 2.1 and 2.2 (the recognized standards).

  2. 2

    AI that reads like a person

    Beyond simple checklists, our AI loads each page like a real visitor and catches problems machines usually miss — meaningless image descriptions, confusing links, and issues on platforms like Finalsite and Apptegy.

  3. 3

    A fix list anyone can act on

    Each issue is sorted into "your team can fix this" or "send this to your website vendor" — in plain language, no technical background needed.

  4. 4

    A record you can hand over

    A clear, dated log of every scan — the kind of documentation that's useful to have if a complaint is ever filed.

How we test

The engine the experts trust — taken further

ADA Genie runs on axe-core — the same accessibility engine inside Google Lighthouse and Chrome DevTools — then goes well beyond a one-time score.

Industry-standard engine

The same axe-core engine that powers Google Lighthouse, run against WCAG 2.1 and 2.2 (Level A & AA) — you're measured the way the pros measure.

More than a Lighthouse score

Lighthouse runs a small, curated subset of those checks, once. ADA Genie runs a fuller rule set across every page — automatically, every day.

AI where rules fall short

Our AI judges what automation usually can't: whether alt text actually describes the image, or whether "click here" means anything out of context.

A screenshot of every issue

We capture the exact element we flagged, so your team can see what to fix — no digging through code.

A "needs human review" list

Things automation can't fairly judge — like text set over a background image, the reading order of a complex page, or whether a video needs captions — get flagged for a person to verify, never guessed.

Failures kept separate from tips

Real WCAG failures are never padded out with advisory suggestions. You always know what's actually required vs. just nice to have.

No automated tool — ours included — catches everything. Whether your site truly works with a keyboard and a screen reader, and whether content actually makes sense to a person, can only be confirmed by hand — so we recommend pairing ADA Genie with a manual expert audit for sign-off. How we test & what that means →

Reporting

Reports your leadership can actually read

Hand your superintendent, school board, or council a clear summary — not a 400-row spreadsheet. Every report is branded, dated, and easy to share or print.

  • Pages scanned, issues found, and how many pages are affected
  • Issues grouped by WCAG criterion, in plain language
  • A clear split of what your team can fix vs. what's on your vendor
  • A dated record of every scan, kept over time

Automated testing is a starting point — it can't catch every issue, so we recommend pairing it with a manual expert audit.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Do we need a Claude or AI subscription to use ADA Genie?

No. ADA Genie runs entirely on our infrastructure. You don't install anything or buy any other software — we just need your website URL to start monitoring.

Does this replace a full manual accessibility audit?

No — and it isn't meant to. ADA Genie is continuous, automated monitoring aligned to WCAG 2.1 AA, plus a dated record that documents your ongoing effort. Automated tools can't catch everything, so for formal sign-off we recommend pairing it with a one-time professional manual audit — then let ADA Genie keep watch and flag new issues between audits.

What about our specific platform?

We support the platforms public websites run on — Finalsite, Apptegy, CivicPlus, Edlio, Blackboard, WordPress, and more. Because we load your pages the way a real browser does, we test what your visitors actually experience.

How fast do we get the free audit?

Within two business days of submitting the form. You'll get a branded report with a snapshot of your site's accessibility and the highest-priority fixes — no sales call required to receive it.
