ADA & WCAG accessibility
Full WCAG 2.1 AA audits and real repair in the markup — not an overlay widget bolted on top.
What we are doing this summer
Google's AI search changed what a website has to be. It is no longer enough to be crawlable — your content has to be machine readable: structured data, clean semantic headings, answer-first writing, real text instead of pictures of text and PDFs.
So this summer we are pulling all 350+ client websites back in and overhauling them for it: schema markup, FAQ structure, LLM-readable content, and Search Console verification on each one that Google actually renders what we published.
At no charge, for every existing client. No upsell, no new contract, no "AI readiness package." These are the people we work with every day, and this is the summer we spend on them.
Where we are headed
- Zero inaccessible documents. Every agenda, minutes set, annual report and press release published as readable HTML the same day it posts — not after somebody asks.
- Every government client ready early. The DOJ Title II deadlines are April 2027 and April 2028. We want our agencies done well before, not scrambling in the last quarter.
- Human verification on everything. Not just launches. Forms, checkouts, document pages — if a real person cannot complete the task, it goes back.
- AI-visible by default. Schema and machine-readable structure built into every new site, not retrofitted later.
- Still answering the phone. Updates in 24 hours, one flat fee, and you talk to the person who writes your code.
Who we serve
Small business owners, tourism partners, real estate professionals, first responders, school districts, libraries, nonprofits and county agencies — from full redesigns to content updates, secure hosting, form integrations and accessibility remediation. Based in Lancaster, Ohio, working across Fairfield County, Columbus, Hocking Hills and Southeast Ohio since 1995.
What we actually do
Six things, and they overlap more than you would think. Accessible markup, readable documents and AI-visible content are the same work done once — which is why we do not sell them as separate projects.
PDF to accessible HTML
Fillable forms, agendas, minutes, annual reports, press releases. We rebuild them as real HTML that a screen reader can actually read. $75 per fillable form; simple text PDFs are free with web work. This is daily work here.
Government web design
Counties, cities, villages, townships, transit and special districts. Built to ADA Title II and Section 508, with the DOJ deadline planned backwards from the date it actually applies to you.
Records & communication law
Social media archiving and retention. Public posts, comments and DMs are public records — deleting one does not erase the obligation.
SEO & AI search
Schema markup, answer-first FAQ structure, semantic HTML, then verification in Search Console that Google renders what we wrote. Built so AI Overviews, Perplexity and ChatGPT can read and cite you.
Custom builds & unlimited updates
Hand-coded HTML and CSS. No templates, no page builders, no plugin vulnerabilities. Unlimited updates completed within 24 hours on one flat yearly fee — no hourly billing, no ticket queue.
Why we do it this way
Because we got the answer wrong for years, and something finally proved it.
Making a PDF accessible was the first one. I would tag a document properly, run it through Acrobat's own accessibility checker, get a clean pass — then run the identical file through axes4's independent PDF/UA validator and watch it fail. Every time. That was the truth-be-told moment. I stopped trying to fix PDFs and started converting them to HTML.
The second one was bigger. A scanner can tell you your code passed. It cannot tell you whether a blind resident could download the trash pickup schedule or finish a permit application. Those are different questions, and only one of them matters to the person on the other end.
So Tyler checks my work. Tyler is legally blind and navigates the web by screen reader every day. Once a site or a form shows zero automated errors and zero hand-review errors, he works through it the way a real visitor would — and he gives the final OK. If he cannot finish the task, it is not finished. New launches, fillable forms, agenda pages: all of it goes through him. He tests professionally at ADATester.com, and yes, we built his site too.
That is the whole philosophy. Anyone can email you a report full of green checkmarks. We would rather hand you something a person can use.
