Software Consulting & Compliance · Kansas City, MO
Website accessibility risk, in plain sight.
Thousands of ADA website lawsuits and demand letters are filed against businesses every year — most over problems that are straightforward to find and fix. Plainsight audits your website the way real users and real plaintiffs’ experts do: by hand, with screen readers and keyboard-only testing. Then we help you fix it, before anyone else finds it.
Compliance as a preventative measure
The Americans with Disabilities Act applies to websites. Courts said so in Robles v. Domino’s Pizza, and serial plaintiffs’ firms have built a practice on it. Waiting for a demand letter means negotiating on someone else’s terms — settlements, legal fees, and a court-supervised remediation schedule. Fixing your website first costs a fraction of that, and it makes the site work better for every customer.
Find it first
We evaluate your site against WCAG 2.1 AA — the standard courts and settlement agreements consistently reference — and document every barrier with evidence, severity, and the exact element affected.
Verified by humans
Automated checkers catch only a fraction of real-world barriers. Software runs a preliminary sweep; every finding in your report is verified by a person using screen readers (VoiceOver, NVDA), keyboard-only navigation, zoom, and contrast tooling.
Fix it with your team
You get a remediation plan your developers can execute — specific elements, specific code-level guidance, ordered by legal exposure. We stay available by email until it’s done, and re-test to confirm.
How an engagement works
Preliminary assessment
A no-cost software sweep of your homepage and key pages triages the obvious failures and tells you whether a full audit is warranted. No obligation.
Manual audit
Our team works through your critical user flows — search, forms, checkout, account — with assistive technology, documenting every WCAG 2.1 AA failure with screenshots and reproduction steps.
Remediation & monitoring
You receive a prioritized fix plan and a compliance score. After remediation we re-test, and ongoing monitoring catches regressions before they become exposure.
A real audit, published
We audit our own work in public. Here is an actual preliminary assessment of zinger.io, exactly as a client would receive it:
32 / 100 · Grade F · zinger.io preliminary score
One critical failure (images without text alternatives), eight color-contrast failures, and three links a screen-reader user cannot identify — on the homepage alone. Each one is a barrier for a real customer and an exhibit in a potential complaint.
What clients say
Sample testimonials for illustration — Plainsight is a new practice, and real client stories will replace these as engagements complete.
“The report read like it was written by someone who had actually used our site with a screen reader — because they had. Our developers fixed the top items in two sprints.”
“We treated it like insurance. The audit cost less than one hour of litigation would have.”
