ADA Compliance
ADA Compliance Background
By 2026–2027, every township and city must have an ADA-compliant website according to WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards. The Department of Justice has made it clear: website accessibility is no longer optional — it’s the law. But more importantly, it’s about making sure every resident has equal access to the information they need to participate in community life.
Today, residents rely on websites more than ever for essential services: finding meeting agendas and minutes, accessing voting information, checking health and safety updates, or looking up transportation schedules. When your website isn’t accessible, just like steps at a building entrance without a ramp, people with disabilities are denied equal access to this critical information.
Those who are blind need the website to be readable by screen readers, those who are deaf or hard of hearing need captions on videos, and those who can’t use a mouse need the site to be able to handle voice recognition. A poorly designed website creates digital barriers that block access to the information they need.
Problem for Municipalities
Many townships and municipalities hesitate to move forward with ADA compliance because of the perceived cost and time commitment. DOJ estimates the following average annual costs per small entity using a 3 percent discount rate: county ($9,601), municipality ($18,269), township ($15,135), and community colleges ($449,163). But the flip side of not having an ADA compliant website is even more concerning, as just the first-time penalty is $75,000! Guello Marketing helps local governments solve this problem by providing ADA compliant websites starting at only $4,900 and providing an easy system for remediating PDF’s used on the website with different packages to meet their needs.
