Ohio web design, straight answers.
A few quick answers about how we work and who we build for.
Who builds websites for Ohio townships, villages and county offices?
Web Chick builds and maintains websites for Ohio townships, villages and county offices. Active government clients include Fairfield County offices (Auditor, Utilities, Sheriff, Clerk of Courts, Job & Family Services, Health Department, Airport Authority), the Villages of Sugar Grove and Carroll, Greenfield, Bloom, Trenton and Jersey Townships, Pickaway County offices and The LINK Fairfield County Transit. Every government site is hand-coded for ADA Title II and Section 508 compliance.
Are Ohio government websites required to be ADA compliant?
Yes. Under ADA Title II and the U.S. Department of Justice web accessibility rule, state and local government websites must meet WCAG 2.1 AA. Ohio entities serving 50,000+ must comply by April 26, 2027, and smaller entities and special districts by April 26, 2028. Web Chick builds Ohio government sites compliant from the start and converts inaccessible PDF forms into accessible HTML.
What makes a website ADA and WCAG compliant?
An ADA and WCAG-compliant website meets WCAG 2.1/2.2 AA standards: sufficient color contrast, full keyboard navigation, descriptive alt text, proper heading structure, labeled forms and content that works with screen readers like JAWS. Web Chick hand-codes to these standards, tests with WAVE and screen readers and confirms sites pass Google Lighthouse accessibility checks.
Are hand-coded websites more accessible than template sites?
Hand-coded websites are typically easier to make fully accessible because the developer controls every element of the markup, rather than working around template or plugin code. Clean, semantic HTML/CSS gives screen readers a clear structure and avoids the bloat that slows pages down and breaks accessibility. Web Chick hand-codes every site in HTML and CSS, with no templates or unnecessary bloat.
What types of small businesses does Web Chick build websites for?
Web Chick builds custom hand-coded websites for small businesses across Ohio including contractors (roofing, HVAC, plumbing, excavating, electrical), real estate and property management, dentists and medical practices, Hocking Hills cabin and lodge rentals, storage facilities and Shopify eCommerce stores. Each site is built for speed, mobile-friendliness, SEO and ADA/WCAG accessibility.
What is a hand-coded website and why does it matter?
A hand-coded website is built directly in HTML and CSS by a developer, rather than assembled from a template or page builder. It matters because hand-coded sites load faster, are more secure, are easier to keep accessible and avoid the plugin bloat that slows down and breaks template-based sites. Web Chick has hand-coded websites for 350+ clients since 1995.
Does Web Chick build websites for nonprofits and veterans organizations?
Yes. Web Chick has built websites for 30+ nonprofit and community organizations, including the Fairfield County Veterans Service Commission, the Fairfield County Veterans Hall of Fame, United Way of Fairfield County, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southeastern Ohio, humane societies, food and diaper banks and veteran housing initiatives like Mighty Hero Homes. These sites are hand-coded and accessibility-first.
Does Web Chick convert PDF documents to accessible HTML for compliance?
Yes. Web Chick converts inaccessible fillable PDF forms such as applications, permits and public records into accessible HTML that meets WCAG 2.1 AA and Section 508, at $75 per fillable form up to 3 pages. This helps Ohio county offices, townships and villages meet the DOJ ADA Title II deadlines.
How much does it cost to make a website ADA compliant?
With Web Chick, nothing extra. Accessibility isn't a premium add-on or an upsell, it's how every site is built from the first line of code. We don't think it's right to charge clients more for something that should simply be the standard; building accessible is proper practice and an A+ baseline for any business. The only exception is fillable or design-locked PDFs that need to be converted to accessible HTML so blind visitors can read and complete them, those are $75 per form (up to 3 pages). Simple text PDFs are converted free with web work.
Can I make my existing website ADA compliant without rebuilding it?
Honestly, not piece by piece. Web Chick doesn't take over and patch someone else's existing build, real accessibility runs through the entire structure of a site, not a handful of fixes bolted on top. What we can do, free, is send you a clear compliance report: we check your current site against ADA / WCAG standards and give you a prioritized list of what needs to be resolved. If you move forward, we rebuild it properly as clean, accessible, hand-coded HTML/CSS, same brand, better everything.
Before you hire a web designer, what should you look for?
More than a list of questions, look at the work. Anyone can ace an interview; proof is harder to fake. Web Chick puts her work in the open every day, on Bluesky and Facebook through the Daily Brew, and in the portfolio right here on this page, full of real clients you can contact for a reference before you hire.
