The ADA Compliance Crisis Is Accelerating
The Department of Justice finalized rules requiring WCAG 2.1 AA compliance for state and local government websites by April 2026. Healthcare providers, educational institutions, and e-commerce businesses face the highest lawsuit risk. Serial ADA plaintiffs are filing hundreds of lawsuits per month — and courts are ruling in their favor.

How Our ADA Audit Works
Free Automated Scan
Our scanner crawls your website and tests every page against all 50 WCAG 2.1 Level A and AA success criteria. You get a branded PDF report showing violation counts, severity levels, and your estimated liability exposure — completely free.
Manual Expert Review
Automated tools catch about 30% of accessibility issues. Our experts manually test your 10 most critical pages with keyboard navigation, screen readers (NVDA + VoiceOver), and color contrast analysis — bringing detection to approximately 90%.
Attorney-Reviewed Documentation
Every VPAT, certification letter, and compliance document is reviewed and signed by a licensed business attorney. This gives you legally defensible documentation — something no scanner, overlay, or automated tool can provide.
Remediation Roadmap
You receive developer-ready code examples for every violation, prioritized by severity. We walk through the plan on a 1-hour strategy call so your team knows exactly what to fix and in what order.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an ADA website compliance audit?
An ADA website compliance audit evaluates your website against WCAG 2.1 Level AA success criteria — the standard referenced by the Department of Justice for ADA Title II and Title III compliance. The audit identifies accessibility barriers that prevent people with disabilities from using your website, and provides specific remediation guidance to achieve compliance.
Is my website legally required to be ADA compliant?
Under the ADA, websites that qualify as "places of public accommodation" must be accessible to people with disabilities. The DOJ finalized rules requiring state and local government websites to meet WCAG 2.1 AA by April 2026. In 2024 alone, 4,605 ADA website accessibility lawsuits were filed. Healthcare, education, government, and e-commerce businesses face the highest risk.
How much does an ADA compliance audit cost?
VeloXP offers a free automated scan that identifies WCAG violations and estimates your liability exposure. Our full audit starts at $2,500 for up to 10 pages and includes manual expert review, VPAT documentation, attorney-reviewed certification, and a remediation strategy call. Additional pages are $125 each — significantly less than enterprise firms that charge $10,000 to $50,000.
What is a VPAT and why do I need one?
A VPAT (Voluntary Product Accessibility Template) is the industry-standard document that details how your website conforms to accessibility standards. Government agencies, healthcare organizations, and enterprise procurement teams increasingly require VPATs. VeloXP's VPATs are attorney-reviewed for legal defensibility.
Do accessibility overlay widgets make my site ADA compliant?
No. Overlay widgets do not fix underlying code issues and courts have rejected them as insufficient. The FTC fined accessiBe $1 million for deceptive practices, and over 800 organizations using overlays have been sued. Real compliance requires fixing your website's actual HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
How long does an ADA audit take?
The free automated scan typically delivers results within 24 hours — most complete same business day. A full audit — including manual expert review, keyboard and screen reader testing, VPAT generation, and attorney review — typically takes 5 to 7 business days.
What makes VeloXP's audit different?
Three things: (1) Attorney-reviewed documentation — every VPAT and certification letter is reviewed and signed by a licensed business attorney. (2) Combined automated and manual review achieving ~90% detection rate vs ~30% for automation-only. (3) Pricing starting at $2,500, which is 50–75% less than enterprise firms.
What happens if I get sued for ADA non-compliance?
ADA website lawsuits typically settle for $15,000 to $175,000. Healthcare organizations face higher exposure — MedStar Health settled for $440,000. A proactive audit at $2,500 costs a fraction of even a minor settlement, plus you avoid court-ordered remediation and ongoing monitoring requirements.
