The Department of Justice finalized WCAG 2.1 AA requirements for all state and local government websites. Most Utah special districts are already out of compliance — and don't know it.
The DOJ's April 2026 rule applies to every city, county, and special district in Utah — regardless of size or budget.
Any resident, advocate, or attorney can submit a formal complaint against your district through the DOJ or HHS civil rights portal — no filing fee, no lawyer required.
DOJ complaint investigations are public. A single filing can trigger a media story, board scrutiny, and costly legal defense — even if you eventually win.
Sites built in 2015–2022 were never tested against WCAG 2.1 AA standards. PDFs, forms, and navigation are typically the first failure points.
The DOJ opens an investigation and notifies your board in writing. You'll have 30–90 days to produce a remediation plan. If no plan is produced, the DOJ can refer the case to the Department of Justice Civil Rights Division for enforcement action.
The cost of defending a complaint far exceeds the cost of preventing one.
A Site Doc audit creates a documented good-faith effort — the single most important factor in any complaint investigation. Our goal is not to guarantee immunity, but to significantly reduce your legal exposure with a structured, defensible remediation record.
Who's affected in Utah: Fire protection districts, water conservancy districts, irrigation companies with public portals, sanitation districts, mosquito abatement districts, cemetery maintenance districts, and all incorporated cities and counties.
All rates are benchmarked 20% below national ADA compliance firm averages. No long-term contracts required for audits.
A formal WCAG 2.1 AA audit of your entire site — every page, every form, every PDF. Delivered as a board-ready report with a full violation list, legal exposure summary, and remediation roadmap.
We fix every violation identified in your audit — directly in your code. No widgets, no patches. Clean, documented fixes your IT admin or webmaster can verify and maintain.
As your district publishes new content, agendas, and forms, we monitor and fix new violations before they become complaints. Includes a quarterly certification letter for your board's records.
We're not a national agency with a call center. We're a Utah-based web firm that actually answers the phone.
We're local — not a national firm routing your calls to an overseas team. When you call, you talk to the person doing the work.
We fix your actual HTML, CSS, and PDF files — not a JavaScript widget that masks the problem. Your site will work correctly for assistive technology users.
Our pricing is independently benchmarked against national ADA compliance firms. You get the same quality work at a rate designed for public sector budgets.
Every audit and remediation project includes a formal report your board can file. Good-faith documentation is your primary legal protection.
Audit reports delivered in 5 business days. We don't sit on your project — we know your board has questions and needs answers fast.
We won't tell you a widget makes you "100% compliant." We will tell you exactly where you stand, what needs fixing, and how to build a defensible record.
Yes. The rule applies to all Title II entities — any state or local government body, regardless of size or budget. Fire protection districts, water conservancy districts, irrigation companies with public portals, and cemetery districts all fall under Title II of the ADA.
No — and any firm that promises that is misleading you. What we can do is significantly reduce your risk and create a documented, good-faith remediation record that is the most important factor in how any complaint investigation is resolved.
We'll identify which violations are in your control and which are platform-level issues. We'll document both in your audit report and provide a letter you can send to your platform vendor requesting remediation — creating a paper trail regardless of who fixes it.
We run an automated WCAG 2.1 AA scan against your public-facing pages and send you a summary of your top 5–10 highest-risk violations at no charge. It takes us about 15 minutes and gives you enough information to take to your board before committing to a paid audit.
Most small-to-medium special district sites (under 30 pages) are fully remediated within 10–15 business days of project kickoff. Larger sites or those with hundreds of legacy PDFs may take 4–6 weeks. We'll give you a firm timeline after the audit is complete.
Fill out the form and we'll run a free preliminary WCAG 2.1 AA scan on your district's website — no contract, no sales pressure. You'll get a summary of your top violations within 2 business days.
