Know Exactly Where Your Website Stands Against ADA Title II
A clear, defensible accessibility audit of your city, county, district, or college website — graded against WCAG 2.1 AA, the standard the Department of Justice requires under Title II.
Your Title II Deadline Is Closer Than It Looks
In April 2026, the Department of Justice extended its Title II web accessibility deadlines by one year. The dates moved, but your obligation didn’t.
Serving 50,000 or more residents (most cities, counties, universities, and larger community colleges): conform to WCAG 2.1 AA by April 26, 2027.
Serving under 50,000, or any special district government: conform by April 26, 2028.
On a website with thousands of pages, documents, and forms, and a procurement cycle in front of any contract, a year disappears quickly. An audit is the first step, because you can’t plan, budget, or fix what you haven’t measured.
What Is an Accessibility Audit?
An accessibility audit is a manual, expert evaluation of your website against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), the standard the DOJ adopted for Title II and the benchmark courts apply in ADA and Section 508 cases.
We test against WCAG 2.2 Level AA. The Title II rule references WCAG 2.1 AA, and because 2.2 includes every 2.1 requirement plus the newest criteria, auditing to 2.2 meets today’s standard and keeps you ahead of the next one. Testing is organized around WCAG’s four principles: content must be Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, and Robust.
Automated scanners catch only about a third of accessibility issues: machine-checkable items like missing alt text or low color contrast. The barriers that actually stop people, such as a form that can’t be completed by keyboard, a menu a screen reader can’t parse, a focus order that jumps around the page, surface only when a real person tests the site. Our experts live with disabilities and are experienced with the assistive technology tools that disabled users require.
Every audit includes:
Each issue is confirmed by a specialist and rated by impact: critical, serious, moderate, or minor, so your team knows exactly what to fix first.
