ADA Compliance

ADA Compliance — Permission Base
All features
Community & Content

ADA compliance included. No lawsuit exposure. No add-on fee.

Permission Base builds accessibility into the platform itself — accessible code, a built-in compliance widget, and a public accessibility statement page. Your website is covered. Your customers are protected. Your business is defended.

Small businesses are the #1 target of ADA website lawsuits.

Thousands of demand letters and lawsuits are filed every year. Defending even a frivolous one costs $25,000–$100,000+. Shopify, Wix, and Squarespace do not include ADA compliance. You're exposed by default. Permission Base closes that gap automatically.

Built in — not bolted on. Zero extra cost.

accessiBe charges up to $490/month. UserWay starts at $49. Permission Base includes ADA compliance tools in every plan. Nothing to add, nothing to pay, nothing to install.

What ADA compliance requires

The four pillars of WCAG 2.1.

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) define what it means for a website to be accessible. Permission Base is built to satisfy all four principles — across every page, every feature, every customer site.

Perceivable

All content must be presentable regardless of how users perceive it — alt text on images, captions on video, text alternatives for non-text content.

Operable

All navigation and functionality must work via keyboard alone — no mouse required. No content that causes seizures. Skip-nav links for screen reader users.

Understandable

Content and navigation must be clear — consistent menus, labeled form fields, descriptive error messages, and no unexpected context changes.

Robust

Content must be readable by assistive technologies — clean HTML, proper ARIA labels, compatibility with JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver screen readers.

What's included — out of the box

Everything you need. Nothing to configure.

Accessibility Widget

A front-end toolbar lets visitors adjust text size, spacing, contrast, dyslexia font, cursor size, reading guide, and more — all without touching your site code.

Accessibility Statement Page

A dedicated public-facing /accessibility page is auto-generated — showing your commitment and providing a contact path for accommodation requests.

Admin Settings Panel

Enable, configure, and position the widget from your dashboard. Toggle the statement page on or off. No code required — one click to activate.

Platform-Level Accessible Code

Permission Base generates semantically correct, screen-reader-friendly HTML across all pages — not a band-aid overlay on broken code.

Color Contrast Controls

High contrast, dark mode, monochrome, low saturation, and link highlighting modes available to any visitor who needs them.

Motion & Seizure Safety

Visitors can disable all animations and pause all media — protecting users with seizure disorders or vestibular conditions.

Why overlays aren't enough

Overlay tools fail. Platform-level compliance doesn't.

Services like accessiBe and UserWay apply a JavaScript layer over your existing site — but that does nothing about the broken code underneath. They have been publicly opposed by major disability organizations. Permission Base takes a fundamentally different approach.

Real compliance requires accessible code from the ground up.

Overlay tools can only detect ~30–40% of accessibility issues. They frequently break screen readers for the very users they're meant to help. And they collect and share visitor behavioral data with third parties. Permission Base generates accessible code at the platform level — there is no overlay, no patch, and no data leak.

What this means for your business

Bigger reach. Better standing. Zero extra work.

Legal protection — out of the box

ADA compliance documentation, a public accessibility statement, and a contact path for accommodations give you a defensible compliance record before any complaint is filed.

Bigger, more loyal customer base

26% of U.S. adults live with a disability. An accessible site reaches them — and signals to all customers that you're a business that gives a damn.

No extra monthly bill
