Accessibility

Checked by a legally blind user “Tyler”

Automated scanners catch about a third of what matters. Tyler, a legally blind screen reader user, works through the build the way a resident would. That is the difference between passing a scan and being usable.

Meet your web designer

Crissy answers the phone.

Real person. Real websites. Real code.

I build websites out of Lancaster, and I keep the hours my clients keep. Late nights with Buckeye Land Sales. Weekends with OSU Sports Fans, getting game-day ads and posts out. Friday at the end of the day, posting judges’ dockets and commissioners’ schedules. All day, every day.

No account manager, no ticket queue, no template. You get me, and you get the change the same day.

AI can be an amazing tool, but behind every Web Chick website is a real person designing, coding, updating, testing accessibility and answering clients.

Common questions

What agencies ask first.

What makes Web Chick different from other Ohio web design companies?

Every site is hand-coded and built to WCAG 2.1 AA and Section 508 from the first line, not retrofitted later. Accessibility is checked by Tyler, a legally blind screen reader user, rather than by a scanner alone. Routine updates go live within 24 hours, and you work directly with Crissy, not an account manager.

How do you make a site meet ADA and WCAG compliance standards?

Accessibility is built into the code: semantic structure for screen readers, keyboard navigation throughout, colour contrast that meets 4.5:1 for body text, descriptive alt text, and visible focus states. Inaccessible PDFs and fillable forms are rebuilt as clean HTML so they pass too.

When does my agency have to comply with the DOJ ADA Title II rule?

Public entities serving populations of 50,000 or more have until April 2027. Smaller entities and special districts have until April 2028. The April 2026 interim final rule moved the dates but not the obligation, and remediation takes longer than the calendar suggests.

Do you work with agencies outside Central Ohio?

Yes. Web Chick works remotely and has clients coast to coast. The heaviest concentration is Central Ohio, including Lancaster, Fairfield County, Columbus, Newark, Circleville and Chillicothe.

How fast can updates be made?

Most routine content updates, including agendas, minutes and public notices, are live within 24 hours. Urgent postings are usually same day.

Can you fix our existing site instead of rebuilding it?

Often, yes. A free audit shows what your current site and documents fail on, prioritized by risk. Some agencies need remediation only. Others find a rebuild costs less than repeated patching. The audit tells you which you are.

Find out where your site actually stands.

A free WCAG 2.1 AA and Section 508 audit of your current site and documents. No pitch. A real report with the actual issues, prioritized, and the deadline that applies to you.
