ADA & WCAG Compliance for Veterinary Clinics

Pet owners book and refill prescriptions online — accessibility gaps in those flows turn loyal clients away.

Why veterinary clinics get targeted

Appointment-driven healthcare-adjacent sites face rising accessibility scrutiny. A single inaccessible page is enough to trigger a demand letter — and serial filers scan hundreds of small-business sites looking for the easy signals below.

FAQ

What is ADA / WCAG website compliance?

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) has been interpreted by US courts to cover websites as “places of public accommodation.” The practical standard courts and the DOJ point to is WCAG 2.1 Level AA — a technical checklist for making web content usable by people with disabilities. SiteProof checks your site against these criteria.

Can a website really get sued over accessibility?

Yes. Over 4,000 ADA website lawsuits are filed in US federal court each year, plus many more demand letters that settle privately for typically $5,000–$20,000. Small and mid-sized businesses are common targets because they’re less likely to have audited their sites.

Is the free scan enough to make me compliant?

No automated tool makes you “compliant” on its own — automation reliably catches roughly a third of WCAG issues. Our free scan finds the structural problems (missing alt text, unlabeled forms, etc.). Full conformance also needs checks our paid monitoring adds (color contrast, JavaScript-rendered content, keyboard traps) plus some manual review. We’re upfront about this.

How is SiteProof different from accessibility overlay widgets?

Overlay widgets (the “accessibility button” products) try to patch your site at runtime and have themselves been sued — courts and accessibility advocates widely criticize them. SiteProof doesn’t inject anything into your site. We audit and monitor, then tell you exactly what to fix in your own code, which is what actually reduces legal risk.
