Accessibility & AODA guidance that does not sell you a shortcut
For Ontario SMBs, freelancers, and marketing teams who need clear AODA / WCAG framing — not enterprise procurement theatre, and not a widget-as-compliance pitch.
Honesty rule: An accessibility overlay or widget alone does not make a website AODA-compliant or WCAG-conformant. We never claim or imply that it does. Real progress means testing, fixing source code and content, and meeting the organizational duties that apply to you.
Affiliate disclosure: Some tool links may become affiliate links later. Commissions never change the overlay honesty rule above. Programs are not applied yet.

What this site covers
- AODA / IASR website expectations (WCAG 2.0 Level AA for in-scope orgs) with links to ontario.ca
- Overlays vs audits vs managed remediation — when each is useful as a supplement
- Buyer checklists so marketing claims are checked against official guidance and real assistive-tech expectations
What this site is not
Not legal advice. Whether AODA’s website rules apply depends on organization type and size. Under-50 employee private orgs have different website obligations than designated public-sector bodies or 50+ employee organizations. Confirm on ontario.ca — How to make websites accessible.
