The Cost of an Inaccessible Website
The most important part of your website is the user experience and at its core you have speed, conversion, and …

WHAT REAL COMPLIANCE REQUIRES
The three pillars of building websites correctly
1. Deep Manual Audits (The Proof)
Automated tools miss keyboard traps, broken focus order, and misused ARIA.
2. Native Code Remediation (The Fix)
We don't bolt on an overlay or install a plugin. We rewrite the violating code with semantic HTML.
3. Continuous Vigilance (The Moat)
Compliance isn't a project; it's a posture. We re-check your code every week as content changes, and give you a documented audit trail.
THE GECKO BULLETIN
Weekly teardown: a real website, everything broken in it, and exactly how we'd fix it
OUR ENGINEERING STANDARD
The foundation most websites are missing
WCAG 2.2 AA, Built Natively Root-cause fixes for keyboard, screen reader, and contrast barriers — built to the standard, never claimed as guaranteed 'compliance'.
W3C Valid Code & Semantic HTML Flawless code structure that assistive tech understands without workarounds.
100 Lighthouse Performance Custom HTML/CSS — no page-builder bloat, no 40-plugin stacks, no 15-second loads.
Real Assistive Technology Testing Tested by humans using NVDA, JAWS, and VoiceOver — not just scanners.
Django & Python Engineering Fast, secure, custom backends. We left the vulnerable PHP/WordPress monolith world behind on purpose.
Documented Audit Trail Written audits, remediation logs, and evidence of good-faith effort you can hand to your attorney.
WHAT CORRECT LOOKS LIKE
When your website is actually built right, this is what you get
✓ Every customer can use your site — including the 61M+ with disabilities
✓ Sub-2-second loads on real mobile connections
✓ Documented WCAG 2.2 AA evidence if a demand letter ever arrives
✓ Clean semantic code that Google can actually read
✓ No plugin roulette: you own a site, not a stack of dependencies
✓ Lower bounce, higher conversion — speed and access are revenue
This isn't about checking a box. It's about a website that works for everyone, loads fast, and can't be knocked over by an update or a lawsuit.
WHO THIS IS FOR
The businesses that lose the most when their website is broken
E‑commerce & Retail
A checkout that traps keyboard users doesn't just risk a lawsuit — it abandons the sale. Every second of load time and every broken form costs revenue.
Healthcare & Patient Portals
Patients who can't book, refill, or read their portal on their terms go somewhere else. Accessibility here is patient care, not paperwork.
State & Local Governments
The DOJ's Title II rule sets a hard 2026 deadline for WCAG 2.1 AA. We get municipal sites documented and defensible before the deadline, not after.
PROOF
Correct Builds. Measured Results.
100
LIGHTHOUSE SCORE
"Our old site took 14 seconds to load on phones and we didn't know why. The audit showed exactly what was broken — page-builder bloat, unlabeled forms, the works. They rebuilt it from scratch and now it loads instantly and every customer can actually use it. We should have done this years ago."
NO PLATFORM HOSTAGE-TAKING
A site you own, built
without the bloat
Hand-Built
Custom HTML/CSS. Not Wix, not page-builder WordPress.
Fast by Design
Sub-2-second loads because nothing's in the way.
Own Your Code
No third-party platform can hold your site hostage.
2.2 AA
Built to the current standard, with the audit trail to prove it.
HOW WE BUILD
Custom engineering, built the right way
- Custom hand-written HTML/CSS frontend — no Bootstrap defaults, no page builders, no template sameness
- Secure, fast Django and Python backends — not slow, vulnerable plugin stacks
- Built to WCAG 2.2 AA and verified with real assistive technology, documented in a written audit
- Bilingual (EN/ES) development and support
- Emergency remediation with documentation if you've already received a demand letter
COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
Why not just install an accessibility plugin or overlay?
Overlays and plugins sit on top of broken code. They can't fix keyboard traps, bad focus order, or semantic problems, and they add weight that slows your site down. We fix the code itself.
What if I've already received a demand letter?
We start with a documented audit, remediate the barriers, and give your attorney a written record of the work and your good-faith effort. Call us before you respond.
