What the DOJ rule actually requires
Four things, in plain words. Everything we build and every report we write is shaped around them.
-
WCAG 2.1 AA, web and apps
The standard named in the rule, for your website and any mobile app.
-
Every district is covered
Whatever its size or budget. There is no small entity exemption.
-
Old documents mostly exempt
Unless they are still used to apply for or receive a service.
-
New agendas and minutes
Anything posted from the deadline must be accessible. We train your clerk, in writing.
Based on the DOJ web and mobile app rule of 24 April 2024, with the compliance dates extended by the interim final rule of 20 April 2026 (91 Fed. Reg. 20902).
Patching an old site usually costs more

The five questions we are always asked
Our district is tiny. Does the rule really apply?
Yes. All state and local governments and all special purpose districts are covered, whatever their size or budget. Special districts of every size have until 26 April 2028.
Can we keep our site and just fix it?
If it is on WordPress and reasonably modern, often yes. The readiness scan tells you in writing which way costs less, and we say so honestly even when the answer is that you do not need a rebuild.
Who owns the website?
You do. Hosting and domain in your name, in the US, and the admin login is yours. There is no lock-in of any kind.
How do we pay a vendor outside the US?
PayPal for card payments in US dollars, or ACH, check or a purchase order against a USD invoice if your finance office prefers that. We provide Form W-8BEN-E for your vendor file.
Can you guarantee compliance?
No vendor honestly can, and you should be wary of any who says otherwise. We build and test to WCAG 2.1 AA and WCAG 2.2 AA and give you the audit report as evidence of what was done. The filing and the legal position remain yours.
