ONE ATTORNEY. ONE BOT. 641 BUSINESSES SUED IN 12 MONTHS.

A firm in Florida called Equal Access Law Group filed 641 substantially identical lawsuits in 2025 using a single template. One attorney. One bot. 641 small businesses.

  1. An automated script runs your site through the same WCAG scanner Fix47 uses. It takes under 5 minutes.

  2. If violations are found — missing alt text, color contrast failures, forms without labels — a demand letter is generated.

  3. You receive it by email or certified mail. The deadline is 72 hours. The demand: $5,000–$50,000 to settle out of court, plus attorney fees.

  4. You settle. Or you go to court. Either way, you still have to fix the site.

Day 1
Demand letter arrives. You have 72 hours. Your attorney advises you not to ignore it.
Day 2–30
You hire an attorney. $5,000–$15,000 in legal fees before discovery.
Day 30–180
Settlement averages $25,000–$50,000. Court judgment: $100,000+ in attorney fees. 95% settle.

Either way, you fix the site. The only variable is whether you did it before the letter arrived.

~$6,500 settlementBakeryGainesville, FL

Uppercrust Bakerywas sued by plaintiff Makeda Evans in 2025. The Squarespace site had accessibility barriers preventing blind users from accessing menus and contact information. The case settled for approximately $6,500 plus attorney fees — the owner later described having to sell over 1,300 croissants just to break even on the cost.

Satchel's Pizzais one of the few Gainesville businesses that fought back and had the case dismissed. The outcome is often cited as a win — but the owner still spent months in litigation, paid legal fees, and devoted significant time to the defense. Even winning costs.

The Fix47 Methodology

THE FIX47 METHODOLOGY

How We Find What Plaintiff Attorneys Find — Before They Do

Plaintiff law firms use the same WCAG scanner Fix47 uses — axe-core, 90+ rules. We run an identical scan on your site before they do. We then layer keyboard navigation testing, screen reader simulation, and structural evaluation on top. Most tools stop at axe-core. We don't.

Every violation is mapped to its ADA Title III risk profile. Critical violations — missing alt text, unlabeled form fields, keyboard traps — are the exact issues cited in 80%+ of demand letters. We prioritize those first. Then we fix them. Done-for-you. No PDF report that sits in your inbox. No handoff to a developer who's never read the WCAG 2.2 spec.

The fix is complete in 5 days. We rescan to confirm. You get a timestamped compliance report your attorney can use if a demand letter ever arrives anyway. That's the engagement.

03HOW WE FIND WHAT PLAINTIFF ATTORNEYS FIND

Five Checks in One Scan — Because One Tool Is Never Enough

Real Code Fixes — Not Overlays

Accessibility overlays patch symptoms. Courts have ruled they don't protect from lawsuits. Fix47 fixes the actual source code — the way a licensed contractor fixes structural damage instead of painting over cracks.

Your Score, Honestly Calculated

Fix47 doesn't penalize you for third-party tools you don't control — Google Maps, payment widgets, cookie banners. Your score reflects only what you own and can fix.

One Scan. Five Independent Checks.

Most accessibility tools run a single rule engine. Fix47 runs five — axe-core, keyboard navigation, screen reader simulation, AI image analysis, and page structure validation.

  • axe-core (WCAG rules)
  • Keyboard navigation
  • Screen reader simulation
  • AI image analysis
  • Page structure

Fix47 is not a consultant. It is a system.

Every engagement runs the same 5-layer scanner: axe-core, pa11y, keyboard audit, AI alt-text analysis, structural review. Every fix is applied directly to the source code — HTML, PHP, CSS. Every round ends with a clean re-scan from a headless browser that has never seen the site before.

The score you see in the case study below is not a before-and-after claimed by the person who did the work. It is the number produced by the same automated toolchain used by Google, Deque (compliance tools used by Apple and Microsoft), and Level Access (largest US accessibility audit firm) to certify enterprise-grade compliance.

You are not hiring someone. You are running a process.

Three Guarantees, In Writing.

5-Day Delivery or Full Refund

5 business days from access confirmation. If we miss it for any reason within our control, you get a full refund — no support ticket, no questions.

We put our delivery time at risk for you. No overlay company offers this.

90-Day Zero-Backslide Guarantee

After delivery, we re-scan within 7 days. If any violation we fixed re-appears within 90 days — absent changes you make to themes, plugins, or content — we fix it again. No invoice. No support ticket. No argument.

ADA Demand Letter Technical Coverage

If you receive an ADA demand letter within 6 months of completing your remediation, we provide your attorney with a complete technical documentation package — every violation fixed, every before/after rescan, every timestamped report. We make ourselves available for one written technical consultation at no charge.

Documentation is your defense. We provide it.

Technical re-remediation only — not legal defense. Fix47 does not provide legal representation or appear in court. See Terms §4.3.

These commitments are included in the signed Service Agreement delivered at engagement start.

QUICK ANSWERS

The Questions Your Lawyer Would Ask. Answered.

I've never heard of Fix47. Why should I trust you with my site?

Fair question. We're a UK-registered development practice with 6+ years of hands-on WCAG remediation. We don't hide behind a brand logo — you're hiring a specialist, not a faceless SaaS. Every engagement comes with a hybrid guarantee: 5-day delivery or full refund, 90-day re-remediation on any regression, and ADA demand letter technical coverage during active engagement (technical only — not legal defense). The Pinsilike case study on this page shows the before/after — same scrutiny applied to your site.

Do you guarantee I won't get sued after you fix my site?

No — and any service that promises that is lying to you. (The FTC fined an overlay company $1 million in 2025 for exactly that kind of claim.) What we do guarantee: your site will meet WCAG 2.2 AA standards as verified by axe-core and manual audit, and you'll have documentation showing due diligence. Courts consistently look for evidence that a business acted in good faith. Verified remediation + an Accessibility Statement is your strongest legal defense.

How It Works

How long does it take?

We deliver your full remediation within 5 business days from access confirmation. Most clients see all critical WCAG violations resolved in the first pass. You'll receive written confirmation of every fix.

What if my site is on WordPress, Squarespace, or Shopify?

Doesn't matter. We work directly on your site's code — no plugin required, no platform limitations. If it runs on a browser, we can fix it.

Why not just install an accessibility overlay tool?

Overlay tools don't fix anything. They apply a layer of JavaScript on top of your site that attempts to compensate for violations at display time. They do not modify your code. In 2025, the FTC fined an overlay company $1 million for promising lawsuit immunity it couldn't deliver. The settlement was explicit: their product did not constitute legal compliance. Fix47 rewrites the code. We fix the actual violations — not the presentation of them. That's the difference between a licensed contractor fixing structural damage and painting over the cracks.

What if I'm not technical at all?

You don't need to be. You give us access, we do everything. You get a before/after report showing what was broken and what we fixed. Zero technical involvement required from your side.

Pricing & Trust

Is this really done-for-you — I don't have to do anything?

Correct. You give us access to your site (FTP or WordPress credentials). We do everything — audit, fixes, documentation. You receive a before/after report showing every violation and every fix applied. No technical knowledge required on your side. No developer to manage. No to-do list.

What happens after the 5 days? Do you disappear?

You receive a full PDF report of every fix applied, plus an Accessibility Statement ready to publish. After that, it's your call: some clients call it done; others activate Shield Monitor for continuous scanning, because websites change and new content can introduce new violations. Shield Monitor includes 3 months as a deliverable — after that, you opt in if you choose: $297/month · $891/quarter · $2,997/year (saves $567). 1-click cancel via Stripe portal. No pressure — the remediation stands on its own, and you own all the code changes permanently.

Why $1,297 founding rate if your standard price is $4,997? What's the catch?

No catch — the service is identical at both prices.

Fix47 is a specialist sole-trader practice. Each remediation gets full attention from one UK developer with 6+ years of WCAG 2.2 work. We need 4 more documented case studies of the same quality as Pinsilike (78 → 95/100) to expand to a small team and charge the full $4,997.

The founding cohort gets the same service, the same 5-day guarantee, the same triple protection. You pay early-adopter pricing in exchange for allowing us to document your results (anonymized unless you give permission). After the 5 founding spots fill, $4,997 reflects the true cost of the engagement.

What if your fix breaks my site — my checkout, my booking form?

We work on a staging copy first when one exists. For sites without staging, we back up every file before touching it, test each fix in isolation, and document a rollback path for every change.

The 90-day re-remediation guarantee covers any regression — including anything we break. Pinsilike has been running unchanged for 13+ months post-remediation, score stable at 95/100.

If you have a live booking system or payment checkout, we schedule changes outside peak hours and test in full before touching production.

I'm not legally required to be ADA compliant — I'm a small dental practice.

ADA Title III applies to 'places of public accommodation' — courts have ruled this includes any business that serves the public, including the online presence of a physical business.

The controlling precedent: Robles v. Domino's Pizza LLC (9th Circuit, 2019). The Supreme Court declined to hear the appeal. That ruling stands and has been cited in hundreds of subsequent cases against SMBs.

Dental practices, chiropractic offices, and optometrists are explicitly covered. Your practice website allows patients to book appointments, view services, and find your location — that's public accommodation under ADA Title III. 'Small business' is not an exemption.
