Real fixes, not an overlay band-aid

Overlay widgets promise accessibility with one line of code. Courts and accessibility experts disagree.

Overlay widgets

  • Hide issues behind a toolbar instead of fixing them
  • Named as defendants in multiple ADA lawsuits
  • Actively blocked by screen reader users
  • Don't address the underlying code problems

Finding & fixing real issues

  • Scans your actual code for real WCAG violations
  • Step-by-step fix instructions for your specific CMS
  • PDF reports to document your accessibility progress
  • Ongoing monitoring so you stay compliant

Common questions

Do I actually need to worry about accessibility lawsuits?
Yes. ADA lawsuits targeting websites have increased every year since 2018. In 2025, over 5,100 lawsuits were filed. Small businesses, ecommerce stores, and restaurants are the most common targets. The average settlement ranges from $5,000 to $25,000, but legal fees can push total costs much higher.
What does the free scan check?
The free scan checks up to 5 pages of your site against WCAG 2.2 Level AA standards, which is the benchmark used in ADA lawsuits. You'll get a compliance score and a breakdown of critical, serious, moderate, and minor issues. Paid plans scan your entire site.
I'm not a developer. Can I actually fix these issues?
That's exactly who ComplyZen is built for. Every issue comes with plain-English fix instructions written specifically for your platform. If you can edit a page in WordPress or Shopify, you can follow our instructions.
Are accessibility overlays enough?
No. Overlay widgets (like AccessiBe, UserWay, etc.) don't actually fix the underlying code issues. Multiple lawsuits have been filed against sites using overlays. The only reliable approach is finding and fixing the actual issues in your site, which is what ComplyZen helps you do.
