Does my website have to be ADA compliant?

U.S. courts treat business websites as places of public accommodation under ADA Title III, and WCAG 2.1 AA is the benchmark they and regulators apply. State and local government sites are held to WCAG 2.1 AA by the DOJ's ADA Title II rule (April 2027–2028). There is no certificate to buy — conformance means the site actually works with assistive technology, which is what remediation delivers.

The demand letters don't wait for a deadline

Website accessibility lawsuits and demand letters run into the thousands each year, most citing WCAG 2.1 AA failures a screen-reader user hits in the first minute — unlabeled buttons, keyboard traps, images with no text, forms that can't be completed. For public entities, the DOJ's ADA Title II rule makes WCAG 2.1 AA mandatory by April 26, 2027 (populations of 50,000 or more) and April 26, 2028 (smaller entities). Whether the pressure is a plaintiff's letter or a compliance date, the fix is the same: real conformance, verified.

A team that audits, fixes the code, and keeps it conformant

Taika Translations has delivered accessibility and language work for agencies, school districts, healthcare organizations, and businesses since 2009 — 102,000+ projects, trusted by state and federal agencies, with a 5.0★ Google rating. We don't stop at a report: our team remediates the actual HTML, ARIA, and interaction code to WCAG 2.0/2.1/2.2 AA, documents conformance in a VPAT, and can monitor new releases so the site doesn't drift back out. And because accessibility and language access usually arrive as one obligation, the same vendor makes your content reach every reader, in every language.

Your path to an accessible site

  1. Free accessibility assessment

    Point us at your site or app — we test it against WCAG 2.1/2.2 AA and tell you exactly what fails, how serious each issue is, and what to prioritize. Free, no obligation.

  2. Remediation with verification

    We fix the code and the content — semantic structure, ARIA, keyboard operability, contrast, labeled forms, accessible components — and verify with the same automated tools auditors use plus manual keyboard and screen-reader passes.

  3. Stay conformant going forward

    A VPAT for your files, plus optional monitoring and developer guidance so new pages and releases ship accessible instead of reopening the gap.

What you get

  • Web accessibility audit (WCAG 2.1/2.2 AA)

    A full manual web accessibility audit against the exact WCAG success criteria the ADA and DOJ Title II rule are measured by — expert assistive-technology testing, not a scanner that only catches the ~30% of issues automation can find.

  • Code-level remediation

    Semantic HTML, ARIA, keyboard operability, focus management, color contrast, and accessible components — the failures overlay widgets can't fix, corrected in the code.

  • Accessible forms & flows

    Labeled, keyboard-navigable forms, error handling, and checkout/application flows — so the actions users must complete are ones they actually can.

  • VPAT & conformance reports

    A Voluntary Product Accessibility Template or conformance report you can hand procurement, counsel, or a plaintiff's attorney.

  • Monitoring that holds the line

    Optional ongoing testing and developer guidance so new releases stay conformant instead of quietly regressing between audits.

  • Accessible + multilingual together

    Web content and documents that are WCAG-conformant AND translated into the languages your audience speaks — disability access and language access from one accountable vendor.

Your website is the front door to your organization — and if it doesn’t work with a keyboard or a screen reader, it’s shut to millions of people and open to an ADA complaint. Taika Translations delivers end-to-end web accessibility: a manual website accessibility audit, code-level remediation of what fails for real assistive-technology users, and documentation you can stand behind — bringing your site, web apps, and digital content to WCAG 2.1/2.2 AA and ADA conformance.

Start with the free accessibility assessment — we test your site, tell you exactly what fails and what to prioritize, and scope the fix before you spend a dollar. Federal agency or contractor? See Section 508 remediation. Need the documents you publish fixed too? See PDF & document accessibility — all from the same accountable vendor, in every language your audience speaks.

How we verify conformance

  1. Automated testing with the same tools auditors use, plus manual keyboard and screen-reader passes — because most WCAG failures can only be caught by a human
  2. Remediation to the named standard — WCAG 2.1 AA or 2.2 AA — issue by issue, verified after the fix, not assumed
  3. A VPAT or conformance report you can put in front of procurement, counsel, or an auditor

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my website legally required to be ADA compliant?

Federal courts have repeatedly treated business websites as places of public accommodation under ADA Title III, and WCAG 2.1 AA is the standard courts and regulators apply — even though the ADA itself names no technical spec. State and local government websites are explicitly held to WCAG 2.1 AA by the DOJ's ADA Title II rule. If you sell to, serve, or inform the public online, conformance is the safe assumption.

What is the difference between ADA, WCAG, and Section 508?

ADA is the civil-rights law requiring effective communication and access. WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) is the technical standard used to measure it — currently WCAG 2.1 AA, with 2.2 AA as the newer best practice. Section 508 is the federal regulation that applies to federal agencies and their contractors, and it adopts WCAG. This page is for ADA/WCAG website conformance; if you are a federal agency or contractor, see our Section 508 remediation page.

Which WCAG version do you remediate to?

WCAG 2.1 Level AA is the legal baseline the ADA Title II rule and most litigation reference, so it is our default target. We can also remediate to WCAG 2.2 Level AA, the current published version, when you want to build to the newest best practice. Tell us your target and we scope to it.

Do you actually fix the code, or just send an audit?

Both. The audit identifies and prioritizes every issue; remediation is where our team fixes the underlying HTML, ARIA, keyboard behavior, contrast, and components — then re-verifies. An audit alone doesn't make a site conformant; the remediation does.

Isn't an accessibility overlay or widget enough?

No. Automated overlays and accessibility widgets can't fix most WCAG failures — they don't repair semantic structure, keyboard operability, or accessible names, and they have not stopped ADA lawsuits. Durable conformance comes from remediating the actual code and content, which is what we do.

We received a demand letter — can you help quickly?

Yes. Start with the free assessment so we can scope the specific failures cited and the rest of the site, then prioritize remediation of the highest-risk items first. We deliver a VPAT or conformance report documenting the work. Note: we remediate to the technical standard and document it — we are your accessibility delivery partner, not your legal counsel, and don't provide legal representation.

How much does website accessibility remediation cost?

There's no flat rate — cost depends on how many pages, templates, and interactive components are in scope, how many WCAG failures each has, and whether you need a one-time audit, full remediation, or ongoing monitoring. A small brochure site is very different from a large web app or e-commerce checkout. That's exactly what the free accessibility assessment answers: we scope your actual site and give you a concrete quote and priority order instead of a guess.

How long does a website accessibility audit and remediation take?

The audit is usually the fast part; remediation timing depends on the number of pages and how complex the fixes are. We prioritize the highest-risk, highest-traffic pages first so the biggest exposure closes early, and the free assessment gives you a realistic timeline for your specific site before any work starts.

Can you handle accessibility, documents, and translation together?

Yes — that's the point of one vendor. Your website, your PDFs and Office documents, and translated versions for the languages your audience speaks can all be made WCAG-conformant in one coordinated workflow, with ASL/CART available for live events.
