Accessibility Statement

We believe in transparency. Here's the truth about web accessibility, what our widget can do, what it cannot do, and why that matters.

The Truth About Accessibility Compliance

Achieving true accessibility compliance requires substantial investment of time, expertise, and resources. Here's what that actually means:

Professional Accessibility Remediation Costs

• Professional Audit: $1,000 - $15,000+ depending on site size
• Code Remediation: $2,500 - $50,000+ for comprehensive fixes
• Ongoing Monitoring: $2,000 - $10,000 annually
• Legal Review: $500 - $2,000 for compliance documentation
• Training: $1,000 - $5,000 for staff education

Total investment for proper accessibility: Often $20,000 - $50,000+ depending on your website's complexity, with ongoing annual costs.

This is expensive. This is also the reality of doing accessibility correctly.

What Page Doctor Actually Does

Page Doctor provides visitor-controlled customization tools. Our widget sits on top of your existing website and gives individual visitors the ability to adjust how they experience your content.

Why Use Page Doctor If It's Not a Complete Solution?

Valid question. Here's our honest answer:

1. Immediate Improvement for Visitors

While we can't fix your site's underlying code, we can help visitors right now. Someone with low vision can increase text size immediately. Someone with dyslexia can switch to a more readable font. These are real improvements that help real people today—not six months from now when your $50,000 remediation project completes.

2. Demonstrates Goodwill

Courts and regulators may consider whether you're making a good-faith effort to improve accessibility. While a widget alone won't protect you from litigation, it demonstrates you're actively trying to serve visitors with disabilities. This matters in legal proceedings.

3. Bridges the Gap

Maybe you can't afford $50,000 for full remediation right now. Maybe you're a small business with limited resources. Page Doctor provides meaningful accessibility improvements while you work toward comprehensive solutions. It's not perfect, but it's better than nothing.

4. Complements Professional Remediation

Even after professional accessibility work, visitor customization tools add value. Different people have different needs. Our widget lets visitors fine-tune their experience beyond what static accessibility improvements provide.

5. Honest Pricing

We charge $50-$250 per year. Professional remediation costs $2,500-$50,000+. We're not claiming to replace that. We're providing an affordable tool that helps while you pursue more comprehensive solutions—or when comprehensive solutions aren't financially feasible.

Who Should NOT Buy Page Doctor

We don't want unhappy customers. Don't buy our widget if:

• You think it will make your website "fully accessible" or "ADA compliant"
• You're facing accessibility litigation and think a widget will resolve it
• You believe widgets replace professional accessibility work
• You want a "set it and forget it" compliance solution
• You're looking for legal protection rather than visitor assistance

In these cases, you need professional accessibility consultants, not a widget. We can recommend qualified firms if you contact us.

Who SHOULD Consider Page Doctor

Our widget makes sense for:

• Organizations committed to improving accessibility within budget constraints
• Websites pursuing comprehensive remediation who want immediate visitor tools
• Businesses demonstrating good-faith accessibility efforts
• Sites with limited resources seeking meaningful improvements
• Organizations wanting visitor customization beyond static accessibility fixes

Our Commitment to This Website

We hold ourselves to the standards we discuss. This website:

• Has been professionally audited for WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance
• Uses semantic HTML with proper heading structure
• Includes alt text for all meaningful images
• Maintains 4.5:1 color contrast ratios minimum
• Supports full keyboard navigation
• Works with screen readers (tested with NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver)
• Has been tested at 200% browser zoom
• Contains properly labeled forms
• Provides visible focus indicators

And yes, we also use our own widget—because visitor customization tools add value even on properly coded websites.

Real Accessibility Requires Real Work

If you're serious about accessibility—and you should be—here's what you actually need:

Step 1: Professional Audit

Hire qualified accessibility consultants to audit your website against WCAG standards. This identifies specific issues that need fixing.

Step 2: Code Remediation

Have developers implement fixes for identified issues. This means rewriting code, restructuring content, and properly implementing accessible patterns.

Step 3: Content Review

Review all content for accessibility. Write proper alt text. Ensure videos have accurate captions. Check reading levels. Verify clear language.

Step 4: Usability Testing

Test your website with actual users who have disabilities. Automated testing catches some issues; real users find the rest.

Step 5: Ongoing Monitoring

Accessibility isn't one-and-done. New content must meet standards. Updates must maintain accessibility. Regular testing prevents regression.

This is what comprehensive accessibility looks like. It's expensive. It's time-consuming. It requires expertise. It's also the only way to actually achieve compliance.

Where Page Doctor Fits In

We're one small piece of a larger accessibility strategy. Think of us as:

• A good-faith effort while you pursue comprehensive solutions
• Immediate help for visitors while you address underlying issues
• Additional customization beyond what code fixes provide
• An affordable starting point for organizations with limited budgets
• A complement to—not replacement for—professional accessibility work

We're not the complete answer. We're part of the answer.

Legal Considerations

Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Title III requires places of public accommodation—which courts have ruled includes websites—to be accessible to individuals with disabilities.

Accessibility lawsuits are increasing. Thousands of businesses faced accessibility-related legal action. Defense costs average $50,000-$150,000 even when settled.

A widget will not protect you from legal liability.
If you're concerned about legal compliance, consult with attorneys specializing in ADA digital accessibility and hire qualified accessibility professionals. Do not rely on widgets as legal protection.

Our Recommendation

Here's what we honestly recommend based on your situation:

If you have budget for professional remediation:

Hire qualified accessibility consultants. Get your website properly audited and fixed. Then consider adding Page Doctor for visitor customization on top of your accessible foundation.

If you don't have budget right now:

Use Page Doctor as an immediate improvement while you save for professional work. Document your accessibility efforts. Work toward comprehensive solutions as resources allow. Don't pretend the widget solves everything—it doesn't.

If you're a small business with minimal resources:

Start with basics: write good alt text, use proper headings, ensure keyboard navigation works, maintain color contrast. Then add Page Doctor for visitor customization. It won't make you fully compliant, but it's movement in the right direction.

Questions About Accessibility?

We're happy to discuss your specific situation honestly. We can also recommend qualified accessibility professionals if you need comprehensive services beyond what our widget provides.

Final Thoughts

Web accessibility matters. One billion people worldwide have disabilities. They deserve equal access to information and services online.

We built Page Doctor to help. We didn't build it to replace comprehensive accessibility work, make false compliance claims, or mislead customers about what automated tools can do.

We believe in transparency, honest marketing, and setting proper expectations. That's why we wrote this statement—to tell you the truth even when it might cost us sales.

If you understand what our widget can and cannot do, and you believe it adds value for your specific situation, we'd be honored to serve you.

If you need more than what we provide, we'll tell you that honestly and point you toward qualified professionals who can help.

That's our commitment to you.
