A step-by-step course to help you fix accessibility issues that are frequently targeted by lawsuits.
Don’t get sued over a tiny popup on your website.
The ADA Compliance Course will help you fix critical issues in website accessibility. In easy, plain language.
Specifically, you’ll learn:
- Why websites are getting sued for ADA compliance
- 15 common issues in ADA lawsuits
- Which web pages you need to check
- How to fix these issues in any platform
- What happens if you get sued
What is ADA Compliance?
ADA compliance means that you are compliant with the requirements under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
Ideally, your website should be fully accessible and WCAG conformant.
But you can avoid most lawsuits by fixing technical issues that are most frequently targeted by lawyers. This course will show you (a) what are these common issues, and (b) how to fix them.
Is My Website Accessible?
Here’s a quick test.
Check these two abilities:
- Does my website work with screen readers?
- Can users navigate my website with a keyboard?
If you’re not meeting these two guidelines, your website has issues.
This course will help you fix common issues that underlie these two abilities (e.g., alt text, ARIA labels, form labels).
“But my site wouldn’t get sued”
That’s what everyone thinks.
…until it happens to them.
Just ask:
Or any of the thousands of website owners being sued.
It doesn’t matter if:
- …you’re a small business
- …you use Shopify
- …you have an accessibility plugin
- …you paid somebody on Fiverr
Law firms are scouring websites in hopes of finding issues. And if your website has issues, they can sue you.

FAQ
This course helps you reduce the risk of accessibility lawsuits.
Most courses on accessibility give equal weight to issues. And sure, full conformance to WCAG 2.1 AA is ideal— but there are two problems:
- Full conformance can take 2-5 months.
- It can total $5,000 or more.

It’s not pleasant. Lawsuits require:
- Time — Maybe 6–8 months
- Money — At least $10k usually
- Stress — Nobody wants to get sued
Ouch. It must be stressful.
You might be getting contacted by defense firms notifying you of this lawsuit. But don’t engage with them. Find your own attorney.
Meanwhile, you’ll need to fix your accessibility ASAP. One lawsuit will attract additional lawsuits (example of this happening to Manoa Chocolate).
