Hounder's ADA Compliance Survival Guide

The ADA Title II deadline isn't a suggestion. Here's how to get ready.

The DOJ has finalized the rule. WCAG 2.1 AA conformance is now a legal requirement for state and local government entities. If your organization serves the public online, this applies to you.

This guide breaks down exactly what you need to know, what you need to do, and how to build the kind of documented, defensible compliance program that holds up under scrutiny.

What ADA Title II Readiness Really Looks Like in 2026 Thumbnail

Why This Guide?

Public agencies aren't just evaluated on whether accessibility issues exist. They're evaluated on whether accessibility is governed. One-time fixes and overlay tools don't satisfy that standard. A documented, ongoing program does.

This guide was built to help your organization get there.
