Is your website exposed under California law?
Most small-business sites have never been checked against the accessibility and privacy standards California measures them by. We review yours in plain language and help you close the gaps.
Two laws quietly put ordinary business sites at risk
You do not have to be a big company to draw a demand letter. In California, two areas of law reach almost every commercial website — and most owners have never been told about either one.
Accessibility — the Unruh Act
California's Unruh Civil Rights Act sets statutory damages of $4,000 per violation, plus the plaintiff's attorney's fees, and it does not require proof that anyone was actually harmed. Websites that are hard to use with a keyboard or a screen reader are a common target, and small businesses are regularly on the receiving end.
Privacy — CalOPPA
The California Online Privacy Protection Act requires nearly any commercial site that collects personal information from Californians — a contact form is enough — to post a conforming privacy policy that says what it collects and how it handles changes. Many small sites either have no policy or one that does not actually match what the site does.
It drifts over time
Even a site that starts out clean can slip out of line every time a page, plugin, or piece of content is added. Compliance is not a one-time checkbox — it is a state you have to maintain.
A clear read on where you actually stand
We review your live site against two concrete standards and give you findings in plain language — what we found, why it matters, and what to do about it. No fear-selling, no jargon.
Accessibility — WCAG 2.1 AA
We check your site against WCAG 2.1 AA, the practical benchmark courts and experts reach for: keyboard operability and visible focus, form labels and error handling, image alternative text, color contrast, headings and structure, and motion settings.
California privacy basics — CalOPPA
We check whether you post a conforming, reachable privacy policy that honestly describes what you collect (forms, analytics, email), names your effective date, explains how you notify people of changes, and addresses Do Not Track — the pieces CalOPPA looks for.
Review, fix, and keep it that way
Review
A paid review of your live site against WCAG 2.1 AA and California privacy basics, delivered as clear findings with evidence and a plain-language read on your exposure.
Fix
We remediate what the review found — the accessibility issues at the source and the privacy-policy gaps — so the fixes are real, not an overlay widget bolted on top.
Monitor
Optional monthly monitoring re-checks your site as you add pages and content, so it does not quietly drift back out of line. Folds into a care plan or stands on its own.
We hold your site to the standard we hold our own
Every site we build ships to WCAG 2.1 AA with a real privacy policy and this very accessibility statement — baseline, not upsell. We are not sending you somewhere we have not already been. You can read our own accessibility statement and privacy policy right now.
A reviewed quote, not a guess
Every site is different, so we scope the review and any fixes to what you actually have and send you a quote before any work begins. Tell us about your site and we will take it from there.
Find out where you stand
Start with a short project brief or a quick conversation. We will review your site and come back with an honest read and a reviewed quote.
