WCAG 2.2 AA · Legal Protection · Built for Healthcare

Your Website Is a
Lawsuit Waiting
to Happen.

You probably don't know it yet. Most medical spa and healthcare practice owners find out the hard way — when a certified letter arrives demanding $5,000 to $25,000, with 30 days to respond.

5,000+ ADA website lawsuits filed in 2025
35–50K Demand letters sent that never reach court
96% Of local business sites fail compliance

The Problem

Here's what's actually happening.

There are law firms whose entire business model is scanning the internet for websites like yours. Automated. Every day. Thousands of sites at once.

When they find violations — and they will — they send a demand letter. You settle quietly or you go to court. Either way, you pay.

In 2025 alone, over 5,000 website accessibility lawsuits were filed in the US. On top of that, an estimated 35,000 to 50,000 demand letters were sent and resolved privately — never making the news. That's roughly ten demand letters for every lawsuit actually filed.

Healthcare and medical providers are one of the fastest-growing targets. It's not a trend. It's an industry. And it's accelerating.

  1. Bots scan Law firms run automated scanners across thousands of sites a day.
  2. Violations found Your site gets flagged — no contrast, no labels, no statement.
  3. Demand letter A certified letter arrives: $5K–$15K, 30 days to respond.
  4. You pay Settle quietly or fight in court. Either way, it costs you.
How automated ADA litigation finds a business — from scan to settlement, no human ever visits your site.

Why You're Exposed

Your web agency never built for this. Almost none of them do.

96% of local business websites fail basic accessibility standards. That's not a coincidence — it's because almost no marketing agency or web design studio specializes in ADA compliance. They build what looks good. Compliance is an afterthought, if it's a thought at all.

The result: your site probably has the same six violations that trigger 96% of all ADA lawsuits.

  • Missing alt text on images
  • Low color contrast on text
  • No accessibility statement
  • Unlabeled form fields
  • Empty buttons and links
  • No keyboard navigation

And if your agency installed an accessibility overlay widget thinking that would cover it — it won't hold up. Over 1,000 businesses with overlay plugins installed were still sued in 2024. The FTC fined one of the biggest overlay providers $1M in 2025 for misleading compliance claims.

Overlays mask the problem. They do not fix it.

The Hard Way

This is what fixing it looks like the traditional way.

First you hire an accessibility consultant to audit your site. Then you go back to your agency — or find a developer who understands compliance — to remediate the violations. Then you manage that whole project. Then you get it validated. Then you set up regular monitoring cycles, because every time a new page goes live or your marketing team makes a change, you might be exposed again.

Months of back-and-forth. Multiple vendors. On a website you don't fully control. On a CMS that can silently break compliance overnight with a single plugin update.

Most practices don't do any of this until the letter arrives. By then the damage is already done.

  1. Audit Hire a consultant to scan your site
  2. Remediate Find a developer to fix the violations
  3. Manage Juggle multiple vendors and timelines
  4. Validate Re-test the whole site for conformance
  5. Monitor Every new change re-exposes you
The traditional remediation loop: audit, fix, manage, validate, monitor — and start over with every change. It never ends.

What We Do Instead

We take the whole thing off your plate. Permanently.

We don't audit your broken site and hand you a report. We replace it.

We build you a clean, fast, minimal website from scratch — designed to do one thing: give your patients exactly what they need to contact you or book. No bloated plugin stack. No CMS that can break compliance overnight. No AI-generated blog nobody reads.

Less is more. A single focused page does more for a practice than a sprawling site with dozens of subpages that confuse visitors and create compliance exposure at every turn.

We certify it to WCAG 2.2 AA — the highest enforceable standard — and publish the audit results directly on your site. Anyone checking, including plaintiff attorneys, sees a site that is documented, timestamped, and protected.

Then we lock it. Every change goes through us. Compliance stays intact.

You run your practice. We run your website.

The Math

One demand letter costs more than years with us.

Here's what most practices don't realize — the settlement is only the beginning. After you pay to make the lawsuit go away, your site is still non-compliant. Which means you still have to fix it. You pay twice: once to settle, once to remediate.
