Accessibility Shouldn't Break Quietly

CompliaScan exists because most accessibility failures aren't caused by negligence — they're caused by change. A plugin update, a new page, a redesigned form. We built continuous monitoring so compliance doesn't silently regress between audits.

The Problem We Saw

Over 5,100 ADA website accessibility lawsuits were filed in 2025 — a 20% year-over-year increase. The European Accessibility Act is now enforced across the EU. Yet most businesses learn they have an accessibility problem only after receiving a demand letter.

The frustrating part? Many of those sites were once accessible. They passed an audit, made the fixes, and moved on. Then a theme update broke the heading hierarchy. A new popup lacked keyboard focus. A redesigned form dropped its ARIA labels. Without continuous monitoring, no one noticed until it was too late.

Manual audits are expensive ($3,000–$10,000+), slow (weeks of back-and-forth), and produce a snapshot that's outdated by the next deploy. Overlay widgets claim to auto-fix issues but don't actually change the underlying HTML — and can introduce new barriers for screen reader users.

What CompliaScan Does Differently

Continuous, Not One-Time

Scheduled scans run daily, weekly, or monthly. When something regresses, you know within hours — not months.

Actionable, Not Academic

Every issue includes severity, WCAG criterion, affected elements, and fix guidance your dev team can act on immediately.

Provable, Not Trust-Me

PDF reports, VPAT 2.5 documents, score history, and accessibility statements — evidence you can hand to procurement, legal, or regulators.

What We Believe

1

Accessibility is maintenance, not a project

Websites change constantly. Accessibility requires the same ongoing attention as security or uptime monitoring. A one-time audit is a starting point, not a finish line.

2

Automation catches what humans forget

Automated testing covers 30–40% of WCAG criteria reliably and catches the most common violations. It doesn't replace manual testing — it ensures the easy stuff never slips through.

3

Small businesses deserve enterprise-grade tooling

Most accessibility tools are priced for large organizations. CompliaScan starts at $69/month because accessibility compliance shouldn't require an enterprise budget.

4

Honesty builds trust

We tell you what automated scanning can and can't catch. We use axe-core, the same open-source engine behind tools from Microsoft, Google, and the US government. No black boxes, no overlay gimmicks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who built CompliaScan?
CompliaScan was built by a solo founder who saw the gap between expensive manual audits and ineffective overlay widgets. The platform uses axe-core — the same open-source engine trusted by Microsoft, Google, and the US federal government — combined with real Chromium browser rendering and custom checks.
What accessibility standard does CompliaScan check against?
CompliaScan checks against WCAG 2.2 Level AA, the latest version of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines published by the W3C. This is the standard referenced by ADA lawsuits, the European Accessibility Act, and Section 508 federal procurement requirements.
Is CompliaScan an overlay widget?
No. CompliaScan does not inject any code, widgets, or overlays into your website. It scans your pages externally using a real browser, identifies issues, and gives your developers actionable fix instructions. Overlays can introduce new accessibility barriers — we help you fix the actual HTML instead.
How does continuous monitoring work?
You add your site to CompliaScan and choose a schedule — daily, weekly, or monthly. On each cycle, we scan your pages in a real Chromium browser and compare results to previous scans. If your score drops or new critical issues appear, you get an email alert. Score history and trend data are available in your dashboard.
