How does ADA Compliance Docs work?
- Connect your site. Add the URL and the platform context.
- Automated WCAG 2.1 AA scan. axe-core engine scans every page; the scanner version and conformance level are recorded with each run.
- Publish a versioned accessibility statement. The statement carries a date, scope, conformance status, and a link to the audit record.
- Maintain a dated audit log. Every scan, every fix, every statement version is stored at the row level. Retention is set so records survive subpoena.
- Respond to demand letters with the playbook. Production-ready templates pull the right pieces of the audit log into a counsel-reviewable response.
See the public methodology for the full scan path, conformance gating, and retention policy.
What ADA Compliance Docs is not
- Not a law firm. We do not provide legal advice.
- Not a one-time audit. The value is the dated, continuous record.
- Not an accessibility overlay. Overlays do not satisfy WCAG conformance and are not part of our remediation path.
