Trusted and top rated tech team
Accessibility through proper code
Overlay widgets and automated accessibility tools claim instant ADA compliance but fail when tested with actual assistive technology. Real accessibility requires proper semantic HTML, ARIA labels, keyboard navigation testing, and screen reader validation. We build WCAG 2.1 AA compliant websites from the ground up and remediate existing sites to meet accessibility standards.
Our capabilities include:
- WCAG 2.1 AA compliance audits
- Accessibility remediation & code fixes
- Semantic HTML & ARIA implementation
- Keyboard navigation & focus management
- Screen reader testing & optimization
- Ongoing compliance monitoring & updates
Our website accessibility services
Curotec’s accessibility team helps businesses meet WCAG standards and reduce legal risk. We audit, remediate, and maintain compliant websites through proper development—not JavaScript overlays that fail accessibility tests.
Accessibility Audits & Testing
We audit websites against WCAG 2.1 AA standards using manual testing with screen readers, keyboard navigation, and automated scanners. You get a detailed report identifying barriers, prioritized by severity, with specific code-level fixes required for compliance.
Website Remediation & Code Fixes
We fix accessibility issues in your existing website—adding alt text, implementing ARIA labels, building keyboard navigation, improving color contrast, and making forms screen-reader compatible. Your site maintains its design while meeting WCAG standards.
Accessible Website Development
We build new websites with accessibility from day one—semantic HTML structure, proper heading hierarchy, keyboard focus management, and screen reader optimization. Sites launch compliant rather than requiring expensive remediation later.

Benefits of professional website accessibility development
Reduce risk from ADA lawsuits
Businesses face settlements of $5,000 to $20,000+ per ADA website lawsuit, plus legal fees. Proper WCAG implementation protects you from lawsuits, while overlay widgets offer no legal protection and can make sites less accessible.
Reach 61 million potential customers
One in four Americans lives with a disability. Accessible websites aren’t just about compliance; they open your market to users who rely on assistive technologies like screen readers to shop online.
Avoid expensive emergency remediation
Building accessibility into new sites costs less than fixing an inaccessible site after a lawsuit. Developing your site correctly from the start avoids rushed, expensive fixes down the line.
Maintain compliance as your site evolves
New features, content, or design changes can break accessibility. WCAG-trained development teams ensure ongoing compliance, avoiding constant audits and fixes with every site update.
Improve SEO and site performance
Semantic HTML, proper heading structure, and descriptive links improve both accessibility and search rankings. Optimizing for screen readers and keyboard navigation often uncovers usability problems that impact all users.
Own your accessibility implementation
Build accessibility into your code to control the solution. Overlay widgets cause vendor lock-in, charge monthly fees, provide limited assistive tech support, and users often remove them if intrusive or unhelpful.
Get prioritized remediation during lawsuits
If you’re facing litigation, experienced developers address high-risk issues first—alt text, keyboard navigation, form labels—while planning longer-term fixes. This approach reduces legal risks without needing a full site rebuild.
FAQs about our website accessibility services
What's wrong with accessibility overlay widgets?
Overlay widgets add toolbars to sites, claiming accessibility fixes without addressing core code. Screen reader users often disable them due to interference with assistive technology. Courts find sites using only overlays still violate ADA, as widgets don’t fix semantic HTML, form labels, or keyboard navigation.
How long does accessibility remediation take?
A 20-page business site typically takes 4-6 weeks to remediate. Large e-commerce sites with hundreds of pages and complex functionality can take 3-4 months. For active litigation, we prioritize high-risk issues, resolving critical barriers within weeks.
Do we need to redesign our entire website?
No, usually not. Most accessibility fixes happen in code—like adding alt text, ARIA labels, fixing color contrast, or enabling keyboard navigation. Your site looks the same to sighted users but works with assistive technology. Full redesigns are only needed if your design fundamentally prevents accessibility.
Can you help if we're already facing a lawsuit?
Yes. We’ve fixed websites during active ADA litigation. We start with high-risk issues that pose an immediate legal threat—like missing alt text, inaccessible forms, and keyboard navigation errors—before moving on to full WCAG compliance. We can also provide documentation of our remediation efforts for your legal team.
How do we maintain compliance after remediation?
We train your content team on accessibility best practices and provide WCAG guidelines for developers. For ongoing support, we offer retainers to review updates before launch. Regular audits catch issues early, preventing bigger problems.
What's the difference between WCAG 2.1 A, AA, and AAA?
WCAG has three levels of accessibility: Level A (minimum), Level AA (the standard most follow), and Level AAA (the strictest). We recommend WCAG 2.1 AA compliance—it meets legal standards without the extra effort AAA requires.
