The overlay problem

The “accessibility widget” you were sold doesn’t work

Millions of businesses bolted on a one-click overlay and assumed they were covered. They weren’t.

$1M
FTC fine against the biggest overlay vendor (2025) for falsely claiming it made sites compliant.
800+
businesses using overlay widgets that got sued for accessibility anyway.
~25%
of WCAG issues any automated tool can catch. Overlays hide the rest — and hide your risk.
