> ADA compliance audits and WCAG 2.1 AA remediation for Connecticut business websites. Reduce lawsuit exposure under Title III. Audits run from Southington.

### Can my small business get sued if my website isn't ADA compliant?

Yes, it happens. More than 4,000 web-accessibility lawsuits are filed in the US every year under ADA Title III, according to the Seyfarth Shaw 2025 ADA Litigation Report, and Connecticut restaurants, retailers and professional-services firms are not exempt. Connecticut Website Company audits and remediates websites to reduce that exposure. For legal questions, talk to an attorney.

### What standard does an ADA-compliant website need to meet?

WCAG 2.1 AA. US litigation under ADA Title III cites it as the de-facto standard for website accessibility. Connecticut Website Company audits and builds to WCAG 2.1 AA, covering color contrast, keyboard navigation, screen-reader semantics, focus management, ARIA correctness and target sizes: the issues that actually show up in demand letters.

### How do you check whether my website is ADA compliant?

Our Southington team runs a WCAG 2.1 AA audit with @axe-core/playwright against every URL in your sitemap, at both mobile and desktop viewports. Then we review the site by hand with a keyboard and a screen reader, because many accessibility barriers never show up in an automated scan.

### Will an accessibility widget or plugin make my website ADA compliant?

Not on its own. Automated tools can't find every accessibility barrier, and a large share are only findable by hand. That's why every Connecticut Website Company audit pairs an automated scan with manual keyboard and screen-reader review, then remediates the critical and serious violations it finds.

### Can you fix accessibility problems on a website you didn't build?

Yes. Connecticut Website Company audits and remediates websites built by other designers, scoped after a free 15-minute review. You get a remediation report listing every critical and serious violation with its fix, and we re-scan after remediation to confirm a clean exit.

### What should I do if my business gets an ADA website demand letter?

Talk to an attorney first. We don't give legal advice. On the website side, Connecticut Website Company provides litigation-evidence-grade documentation of your audit and remediation, showing what was found and what was fixed. No one can honestly promise that a website makes your business immune from a lawsuit.
