Accessibility Compliance

Website Accessibility Compliance for Canadian Businesses

Is your website legally accessible? In Ontario it has to be โ€” and most sites quietly fail. I audit your website against WCAG and AODA standards and fix what's wrong, so your site meets the law and actually works for every visitor.

Why website accessibility isn't optional anymore

Two reasons, and both matter. First, it's the law: under Ontario's AODA, businesses are required to make their websites accessible, with penalties that reach into six figures for corporations โ€” and there's federal legislation (the Accessible Canada Act) plus provincial rules elsewhere. Second, roughly one in five Canadians lives with a disability. An inaccessible site literally turns those customers away at the door.

There's a quiet bonus, too: the same things that make a site accessible โ€” clean structure, proper headings, good contrast, real alt text โ€” also make it faster and easier for Google to understand. Fixing accessibility often nudges your SEO up as a side effect. I work with businesses across Canada on this, remotely โ€” AODA in Ontario and accessibility standards in any province.

FAQs

Accessibility Compliance โ€” Common Questions

Is website accessibility legally required in Canada?+

In Ontario, yes โ€” the AODA requires accessible websites for many businesses, with real penalties. There's also the federal Accessible Canada Act and rules in other provinces. Even where it isn't strictly mandatory yet, it protects you and reaches more customers.

What is WCAG, and which level do I need?+

WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) is the international standard. AODA and most laws point to WCAG 2.1 Level AA โ€” that's the target I build and fix to.

Can you make my WordPress site accessible?+

Yes. I audit any site regardless of platform, and apply fixes through code, CSS and templates. On WordPress, some content-level items (like image alt text) are handled in your admin โ€” and for very outdated sites, a fast migration to custom code is often the cleanest path to full compliance.

Will accessibility changes ruin my design?+

No. Good accessibility is invisible to most visitors โ€” better contrast, cleaner structure, working keyboard navigation. Your brand and design stay; they just work for everyone.
