The only question is by whom. Plaintiff firms run axe-core and pa11y against e-commerce sites every day to generate demand-letter targets. We run the same scans — and send you the report first.
Drop in your homepage URL. We run axe-core + pa11y — the same scanners plaintiff firms use to generate demand-letter targets — and return a ShieldScore mapped to WCAG 2.1 AA in roughly 30 seconds. You'll see your top violations, severity counts, and a sample of the remediation guidance paid tiers expand on. No account, no email, no card; results are yours to keep or delete in one click.
Every day your site remains non-compliant, you are accumulating legal exposure. Plaintiff firms operate on volume — they don't need to win in court. The demand letter alone is enough for most businesses to settle.
ADA Title III lawsuits averaged $50K in settlements in 2025. That number does not include your legal fees, which typically run $15K–$30K on top. Most cases never see a courtroom — the economics favor paying.
California's Unruh Civil Rights Act awards $4,000 minimum damages per violation per visit. A single plaintiff visiting 10 pages with 5 violations each generates $200K in statutory exposure — before attorney fees.
Plaintiff firms share target lists. Once you appear in a filing, every ADA practice in the country knows your site is non-compliant. The first lawsuit is rarely the last — it's an invitation.
Court-ordered remediation comes with monitoring, reporting requirements, and plaintiff-selected auditors. Fixing under a consent decree costs 3–5x what voluntary compliance would have. You also lose control of the timeline.
axe-core and pa11y drive a headless browser across your site — the exact tooling plaintiff firms and their vendors use to generate demand-letter targets.
Every violation is mapped to its WCAG 2.1 criterion, impact tier, and selector. Your ShieldScore is the same signal their bots use to pick targets.
An LLM-generated remediation playbook — Shopify Liquid, WooCommerce PHP, or generic HTML/CSS — with plain-English context for your dev or VA.
Continuous scan history, remediation logs, and a downloadable compliance package. If a demand letter arrives, this is your best evidence of good-faith effort.
Every ShieldBrief report breaks down violations by WCAG 2.1 criterion and impact tier, attaches the affected selector and HTML, and ships with Claude-generated remediation code. Continuous-monitoring tiers add a legal defense file you can hand to your attorney.
