Web accessibility for local businesses.

Someone is on your site right now using a screen reader, a keyboard instead of a mouse, or text scaled up to twice its normal size. If your booking form has unlabeled fields or your menu only opens on hover, they cannot become your customer, and they will not email to tell you why. Accessibility is the part of a website that is invisible until it is the only thing standing between a person and the thing they came to do.

What we fix

We start where real people get stuck. Forms whose fields have no labels, so a screen reader announces "edit text" and nothing else. Buttons that are images with no alternative text. Menus and sliders that a keyboard cannot reach or escape. Focus outlines removed by a theme, so a keyboard user has no idea where they are on the page. Text set in light gray on white because it looked cleaner in the mockup. Touch targets too small to hit on a phone in a moving car. Headings used for size rather than structure, which turns a page into one undifferentiated wall for anyone navigating by headings.

Each of these is a specific defect with a specific fix, and most of them are cheaper to correct than to argue about.

What California actually expects

More federal ADA Title III lawsuits are filed in California than in any other state: 3,252 of 8,667 in 2025, by Seyfarth Shaw's count. The mechanics are worth understanding: the Americans with Disabilities Act sets the federal obligation, and California's Unruh Civil Rights Act treats an ADA violation as a violation of state law too. That carries statutory damages starting at $4,000 for each offense, without the plaintiff needing to prove any actual loss. That combination is why demand letters arrive in volume here, and why they often arrive over defects a scanner can find in under a minute.

We are not attorneys and this is not legal advice. What we can tell you is what the standard asks for, where your site currently falls short of it, and what it takes to close the gap.

Why we do not install an overlay

You have probably seen the pitch: one line of JavaScript, a little accessibility icon in the corner, instant compliance. We will not sell you one. Overlay widgets sit on top of the page and try to guess at meaning they cannot recover. They cannot know what an unlabeled button does, and screen reader users widely report that overlays make sites harder to use, not easier. Businesses running them have still received demand letters, sometimes naming the overlay itself. The only durable fix is in your site's own markup, which is where we make it.

Check where you stand right now

Run your site through access)lens, our free scanner. It gives you a score and a plain-English report in about a minute, and it costs nothing whether or not you ever hire us. Automated tools catch only part of the problem. In a UK government test, the best single tool found about 40% of the barriers planted on a page. That is enough to tell you whether you have a problem, never enough to tell you that you do not. The rest needs a person, which is the next part.

How the road gets built

  1. 01 / Review.

    An automated pass across your pages to catch what tooling catches, then manual testing of the paths that actually earn money: the phone number, the booking or quote form, the menu, the checkout. We test those by keyboard and by screen reader, the way someone would really use them.

  2. 02 / Report.

    A plain-English list of what fails, what it blocks, and what it takes to fix, ordered by how much it costs a real customer, not by how easy it is to bill.

  3. 03 / Fix.

    We make the corrections in your site's code: labels, alternative text, contrast, focus states, heading structure, keyboard paths, touch targets. If the site is built on something that fights back, we will tell you honestly whether remediating it beats rebuilding it.

  4. 04 / Verify.

    We re-test by hand and re-run the scan, and you get the before and after. New pages and new plugins can reintroduce old problems, so we will also show you what to watch for.

What you get

  • A WCAG 2.2 AA review of your real pages, not a sample
  • Manual keyboard and screen-reader testing of your revenue paths
  • A plain-English report you can hand to anyone, ordered by customer impact
  • Fixes made in your site's own code, with no overlay widget installed
  • An accessibility statement page and a way for visitors to report barriers
  • A re-test afterward, with the before and after in writing

What we will not promise

No one can promise that a website is lawsuit-proof, and any vendor who does is selling you something they cannot deliver. Accessibility is not a certificate you earn once: it is a standard your site meets on the day it is tested, and every new page, plugin and photo is a chance to drift out of it. What we will promise is that we test the way real users navigate, that we fix what we find in your own code, that we show you our evidence, and that we tell you plainly what we could not fix and why.

Built for the Coachella Valley

We work with businesses across Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Indio, La Quinta, Cathedral City, Rancho Mirage, Coachella, Thousand Palms, Desert Hot Springs, Indian Wells and the towns between. Two local details shape this work: many businesses here serve retirees and seasonal visitors, so low vision and reduced dexterity are ordinary conditions rather than edge cases; and a great deal of the valley's business is done bilingually, so we check that a page reads correctly in both languages, including how a screen reader pronounces it.
