Our Milestones
What the Rule Requires
28 CFR Part 35 sets a technical standard for public entities for the first time. It covers more than your main website.
- Web content and mobile apps you provide or make available
- WCAG 2.1 Level AA is the standard named in the rule
- It applies to content you post and content posted on your behalf
- Third-party content under contract counts as yours
- We link to ada.gov rather than paraphrasing the rule loosely
Find Out Where Your Entity Stands
A gap assessment gives you scope, cost and a defensible order of work.
The Compliance Program
Six phases, mirroring the DOJ's own First Steps guidance, with a duration range on each.
1. Inventory
Every web property, subdomain, portal and mobile app you are responsible for. 1 to 2 weeks.
2. Gap assessment
Tested against WCAG 2.1 AA, scored by severity and public-service impact. 2 to 4 weeks.
3. Prioritization
Services residents actually use first: payments, permits, agendas, emergency notices.
4. Remediation
Fixed in code, in sprints, with retesting at the end of each one.
5. Policy and training
Procurement language, authoring standards and staff training so it holds.
6. Monitoring
Monthly scans and quarterly manual checks after the deadline passes.

Documents and PDFs

- Agenda packets and minutes published every cycle
- Permit and licence forms residents have to complete
- Budget documents and annual reports
- Tagged structure, reading order and accessible form fields
- Quoted by page band, with a sample remediated first

State Law Overlay
Several states already require conformance ahead of the federal date. If you are in
one of these, your real deadline may have passed.

Procurement
- Contract vehicles, cooperative purchasing and past performance, stated plainly
- W-9 and certificates of insurance on request, public-sector references on request
- Where we hold no vehicle: we respond to RFPs, work under an existing master agreement, or
subcontract to a prime - Of the twelve agencies reviewed, only one shows procurement information on an accessibility page
at all
Board-Ready Summary
A one-page brief an IT director can hand to a council or board to justify the budget line:
the rule, the date, the risk, the scope and how the cost is structured. No competitor publishes one.
