We audit, fix, and document your website for full WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance. The same standard that protects governments, hospitals, and federal contractors. Now built right for Gulf Coast service businesses.
D'Iberville's growth is its strength and its risk. Every new business that opens on the Highway 15 corridor opens with a brand new website, and almost none of them are built to federal accessibility law. The lawyers filing ADA web cases love new businesses for that reason. We audit your site against WCAG 2.1 Level AA, fix the code, handle PDF and document accessibility, and give you the documentation that protects you. Same standard we use for the City of Moss Point and CASOMS.
Accessibility is not a checkbox. It's a layered set of fixes, tests, and documentation that work together. Here's what we build for you.
We crawl every page, every form, every PDF, every embedded element. We run automated WCAG scanners and then a manual review by someone who knows what scanners miss. You get a prioritized report of every violation, ranked by severity and how likely it is to trigger a lawsuit.
We do not just hand you a list. We fix it. Focus traps, keyboard navigation, color contrast, alt text, ARIA labels, semantic HTML, form labels, error messaging. The technical work that requires actually getting into the code instead of just telling you what is broken.
Most businesses have hundreds of PDFs on their website. Most of them are not accessible. We OCR scanned documents, apply structure tags, set language attributes, and make sure every document a customer or employee might open is readable by screen readers. This is the work that wins federal contracts.
A one-time fix is not enough. New pages, new content, new uploads can break accessibility overnight. We monitor your site continuously, catch regressions before they become liabilities, and update your compliance documentation as the standards evolve from WCAG 2.1 to 2.2 to whatever comes next.
If you ever do get a demand letter, you need to prove you have been actively pursuing compliance. We give you the audit reports, the remediation logs, the testing records, and the published accessibility statement that can turn a twenty thousand dollar settlement into a zero dollar dismissal. Documentation is not paranoia. It is protection.
Accessibility is the sum of a lot of small details. Here is what we actually check, fix, and document.
The international standard for web accessibility. Federal courts use it. Settlements reference it. We test against every guideline.
The federal standard for government and contractor websites. Required for any business doing work with state, federal, or local government.
For state and local governments. The 2024 update made web accessibility explicitly required. We did this work for Moss Point.
For private businesses open to the public. The basis of almost every web accessibility lawsuit filed today.
Every function on your site has to work without a mouse. We test it ourselves and fix what is broken.
We test with NVDA, JAWS, and VoiceOver. Real assistive technology, not just automated scanners that miss the hard problems.
Text has to meet a minimum contrast against its background. We verify every single combination, every link state, every button.
Buttons and links must be large enough to tap accurately. We verify across phone sizes from 320 pixels up.
Scanned PDFs need text recognition. All PDFs need structure tags. We make every document a screen reader can actually use.
Every field labeled. Every error announced. Every required field marked. The form path is the lawsuit path. We close it.
Every video gets captions. Every audio gets a transcript. We can produce them or check the ones you already have.
A published statement on your site that documents your compliance commitment and contact path for accessibility issues. Legally meaningful.
Retail, restaurants, healthcare, automotive, professional services, real estate. New businesses with fresh websites that have not been audited yet are the highest risk category.
No mystery. No twelve-month consulting engagement. Here is exactly how the work runs from the first audit to the documentation that protects you.
We crawl your site, scan every page, review every PDF, and document every WCAG 2.1 AA failure. Automated tools first, then a human pass for what they miss. You get a prioritized report ranked by lawsuit risk.
We get into your code and fix it. Keyboard navigation, focus traps, ARIA labels, semantic HTML, form accessibility, color contrast, image alt text. The actual technical work, done by humans who have done it before.
Screen reader tests with NVDA, JAWS, and VoiceOver. Keyboard-only navigation tests. Mobile accessibility tests at 320 pixels. We verify the fixes worked the way they need to work for actual users.
Published accessibility statement, audit log, remediation record, monitoring contract. Everything you need to prove ongoing compliance if anyone ever asks. Then we keep watching as you publish new content.
Most agencies sell you an "accessibility scan" that any free tool can run, hand you a PDF report, and call it done. We do the actual remediation work, test with real assistive technology, and stand behind the result when it matters. The City of Moss Point and CASOMS hired us to do this for them. The work is real, the deliverables are real, and the lawsuit defense documentation is real.
Audit. Fix. Test. Document. Maintain.
If your business is open to the public, almost certainly yes. The Department of Justice has consistently held that the ADA applies to websites of businesses with a physical location, and courts have extended that to digital-only businesses as well. Federal contractors and state and local governments are explicitly required. Even if you are not strictly required, lawsuits get filed against businesses every day that thought they were exempt.
WCAG is the technical standard that defines what accessible actually means. 2.0 was the original. 2.1 added mobile and cognitive guidelines. 2.2 added even more. Most lawsuits today reference 2.1 Level AA as the bar. That's what we audit and build to. As 2.2 gets adopted more broadly, we update.
A typical small-to-medium business website audit takes two weeks from kickoff to delivered report. Larger or government sites take three to four weeks. The remediation phase that follows takes anywhere from two weeks to two months depending on how many issues turn up. We give you a clear timeline after the audit.
That actually happens. We accelerate the most critical fixes, document the remediation effort, and give you a signed compliance progress report your attorney can use in response. Active remediation is one of the strongest defenses against ADA litigation, and we have already produced that exact documentation for clients before.
No, and you should not trust anyone who does. ADA compliance is a process, not a single state. What we guarantee is that we have done the work to make your site compliant against the WCAG 2.1 AA standard, with documented testing, and that you will have the paper trail to prove it.
It depends on the size of your site and how much remediation work is needed. Most small business audits run two to four thousand dollars. Remediation typically runs three to ten thousand depending on findings. Ongoing monitoring is a small monthly. Start with the free Accessibility Audit. We will give you honest math on what your site actually needs.
Most of our D'Iberville clients also have customers, employees, or operations in nearby cities. Federal accessibility law does not stop at the city line. We make sure your whole footprint is compliant.
We pull your site, scan it against the WCAG 2.1 AA standard, and give you a clear picture of where you stand. You will know what is fixable, what it would cost, and whether you have anything to worry about. No pressure, no pitch, just honest math.
