If your website or app cannot be used by someone with a disability, you are turning away customers and, in Florida especially, inviting a lawsuit. Website accessibility compliance complaints and demand letters have become common, and they target small businesses, not just big ones. Built by Buit builds and fixes websites and apps so they work for everyone and stand on solid legal footing.
What website accessibility compliance actually means
Accessibility means a person can use your site or app regardless of how they see, hear, move, or navigate. Someone using a screen reader, keyboard only, voice control, or larger text should be able to do everything a mouse user can. The recognized standard is WCAG 2.1 AA, and it is what courts, the ADA, and settlements point to. It covers things like:
- Text that screen readers can actually read, including images, buttons, and forms.
- Enough color contrast to be readable by people with low vision.
- Full keyboard operation, so nothing requires a mouse.
- Clear labels, focus states, and structure so people can find their way.
- Captions and alternatives for audio and video.
What we do
Accessibility audit
We test your site or app against WCAG 2.1 AA using real assistive technology, not just an automated scanner. You get a plain-English report of what fails, why it matters, and what it takes to fix, sorted by risk.
Remediation and fixes
We fix the issues at the code level so they stay fixed. This is real engineering, not a widget or an overlay bolted on top. Overlays are widely criticized and have themselves been named in lawsuits, so we build accessibility into the actual site.
Accessible by default
When we build something new, we build it accessible from the start, which is far cheaper than retrofitting later. It is the same standard we hold on every build.
An honest note on how this works
No developer can promise you will never receive a complaint, and anyone who guarantees it is not being straight with you. What we can do is bring your site to the recognized WCAG 2.1 AA standard, document the work, and dramatically reduce your risk while making your site genuinely usable for more customers. Accessibility is also good business: it widens your audience and often improves your SEO and usability for everyone.
What you own
You own the work, your site, and your accounts. Everything we change is documented so your team, or a future developer, knows exactly what was done and why.
Common questions
Do those accessibility overlay widgets work?
Not really. They are widely criticized by accessibility experts and disabled users, and overlays themselves have been named in lawsuits. We fix the real code instead.
How do I know if my site has a problem?
Start with an audit. We test against WCAG 2.1 AA and give you a clear, prioritized report of what to fix. Most sites have more issues than the owner expects.
Is one audit enough forever?
Accessibility needs upkeep as your site changes. We can handle it as part of a care plan so it stays compliant over time.
