Why CompliScan Is Different

Overlays don't make you compliant.
Fixing your code does.

U.S. Department of Justice — ADA Title II Final Rule

“Automated widgets or overlays alone cannot guarantee ADA compliance. True accessibility requires fixing the underlying code.”

— DOJ, ADA.gov Web Rule First Steps

Overlay tools apply a JavaScript patch on top of your site without fixing the underlying code. In April 2025, the FTC issued a Final Order against accessiBe — permanently barring them from claiming their tool achieves WCAG compliance without substantiated evidence, and fining them $1 million. In February 2026, UserWay's motion to dismiss failed — the lawsuit survived, meaning a BloomsyBox customer who paid for UserWay is still being sued. Duane Morris LLP (March 2026) warns overlay tools “oftentimes do not satisfy WCAG 2.1 AA” and “may increase rather than reduce legal exposure.”

FAQ

Common questions

What is ADA web accessibility compliance?
The Americans with Disabilities Act Title III requires businesses to provide equal access to people with disabilities. Federal courts have consistently held that websites are covered by this law. The DOJ formally adopted WCAG 2.1 AA as its accessibility standard in 2024.
Why not just use an accessibility overlay tool?
The U.S. Department of Justice settled the question in its ADA Title II final rule: "automated widgets or overlays alone cannot guarantee ADA compliance" — true compliance requires fixing the underlying code (ADA.gov). Overlay tools apply a JavaScript patch on top of your site without changing that underlying code. The FTC confirmed this — issuing a Final Order in April 2025 against accessiBe that permanently bars them from claiming their tool achieves WCAG compliance without substantiated evidence (and fining them $1 million). The UserWay overlay lawsuit survived dismissal in February 2026 — a Magistrate Judge ruled key claims proceed, meaning overlay users like BloomsyBox remain exposed even after paying for the tool. Legal experts — including Duane Morris LLP (March 2026) — warn overlay tools "oftentimes do not satisfy WCAG 2.1 AA" and "may increase rather than reduce legal exposure." In 2025, 22.6% of ADA lawsuits targeted sites using overlay tools (accessible.org). CompliScan finds the real violations in your code so they can be permanently fixed. That's the difference between audit-safe and masked.
What does the scan actually check?
We use axe-core, the industry-standard engine embedded in Chrome DevTools and trusted by Google, Microsoft, and Deque. It tests for over 80 WCAG 2.1 AA rules — color contrast, missing alt text, keyboard navigation, form labels, ARIA roles, focus management, and more. About 57% of all WCAG criteria are detectable automatically.
How long does it take?
The free quick scan completes in about 60–90 seconds. The full paid report — which includes AI-translated descriptions, fix instructions, and a PDF — takes 3–5 minutes and is delivered to the email you provide at checkout.
Who is the report for?
Anyone responsible for a website — business owners, marketing managers, developers, or legal teams. The fix instructions are written for non-technical audiences, but the technical details section gives developers everything they need to act immediately.
Do you offer ongoing monitoring?
Yes. For $39/month we run automated monthly scans and send you an updated report so you can track progress and catch regressions before they become liabilities. Email hello@runacompliscan.com to get started.
