AI can now draft a federal ADA lawsuit in about 20 minutes. In 2025, pro se ADA filings jumped 40% YoY. Seyfarth Shaw blames AI tools. What used to need a $5,000 retainer now needs a free LLM and an afternoon. getaccessguard.com/posts/ai-just-…

We mapped the full overlap and built a free scanner that runs against the same checklist Claude uses to navigate your site. No SDK. No setup. One URL. getaccessguard.com/ai-agent-ready

The accessibility work most teams have been deferring just got reframed. It's now your: → AI search strategy → Agent-readiness story → Lawsuit defense Three different problems. One fix list. WCAG.

AI agents are about to use your website. Claude, ChatGPT Atlas, Perplexity Comet - all shipping browser agents in the next 6 months. Here's the part nobody's saying: they read your site through the exact same APIs screen readers use.

Accordions and tabs look almost identical when you squint — but they have different ARIA roles, different keyboard contracts (Tab+Enter vs Arrow keys), and different reasons to exist. New post on how to build both correctly: getaccessguard.com/posts/accessib…

Custom dropdowns are one of the trickiest a11y patterns on the web. New AccessGuard how-to covers ARIA roles, the full keyboard contract, aria-activedescendant vs real focus, and when to just use <select>. getaccessguard.com/posts/how-to-b…

7 accessibility mistakes we see on almost every form audit — and how to fix each one: • placeholder-as-label • color-only errors • silent inline validation • missing autocomplete • keyboard traps + 2 more getaccessguard.com/posts/accessib… #a11y

The #1 thing the bots look for? Missing alt text on product images. The #2? Form fields without labels on your checkout. Both take minutes to fix — if you know where they are. AccessGuard finds them in 60 seconds and writes the fix for you.

5,100 businesses were sued last year for website accessibility. Not because they did anything wrong. A bot scanned their site, found a missing image description, and a lawyer sent a demand letter. Avg settlement: $25K–$50K. Free 60-second scan → getaccessguard.com

6 accessibility checks that axe, WAVE, Lighthouse, Pa11y & Siteimprove all miss or mishandle — JS click handlers, pseudo-element contrast, transparent bg contrast, real 320px reflow, sectioning-aware headings, framework-aware severity. getaccessguard.com/posts/6-access…

Accessibility lawsuits surged 27% in 2025 — 3,117 federal cases. AI is making it nearly free to file. The EU is enforcing new rules. And 25% of lawsuits hit sites that already had overlays. 2026 will be worse. getaccessguard.com/posts/accessib…

WCAG 2.2 made "Consistent Help" Level A - the legal baseline. If your site has a contact link, chat widget, or FAQ, it must be in the same spot on every page. Users who need help shouldn't have to hunt for it. The fix: footer. Every page. Done. getaccessguard.com/posts/full-wca…

Most modal dialogs fail at least 3 WCAG criteria out of the box. New post: every requirement explained with real code fixes — native <dialog>, focus trapping, the broken close button problem, and framework-specific tips. getaccessguard.com/posts/accessib… #a11y #webdev

WCAG 2.2 added 9 new criteria. Most scanners still miss them. We broke down all 9 — what they mean, common failures, and fixes. Quick check: does your login form allow paste on passwords? If not, you're failing 3.3.8. #a11y #WCAG #WebDev getaccessguard.com/posts/full-wca…
