100 in Accessibility.

Web accessibility isn't optional anymore — it's the law.

Cheap plugins won't save you from EU & US fines. We build real screen-reader support straight into the code.

Compliant from day one.

Marvel's 1960s copywriting is like today's web accessibility: descriptive text for people who can't see what's going on. Example from Sub-Mariner #20, 1969.

☕ WEB CHICK ADA Tip:
Your buttons should say where they go!

Replace vague “Click Here” links with clear actions like “Schedule a Call.” Make navigation easier for everyone, including screen reader users.

Daily Brew, ADA Tip of the Day. Your button should say where it goes. Vague: Click Here, Learn More (crossed out). Action-driven: Schedule a Call, Get Started. A blind visitor using a screen reader only hears “click here.” Not where you are taking them. High contrast buttons with direct, active verbs.

Daily Brew graphic from Web Chick. Happy Monday. Headline: Are your online and fillable PDF forms accessible to everyone? ADA Tip of the Day. Try the Tab key test: fields go in order when you press Tab; every field has a name a screen reader says; required fields say “required,” not just red; you can type in it, it’s not a scanned page. Tip: A form that only works with a mouse leaves people out. Job applications, permits, registrations: if someone can’t fill it out, they can’t apply.

Building an Accessible Modal Dialog From Scratch
Every site has a modal. A share dialog, a confirm, a sign-up, a cookie notice. And most of them are a div with a z-index and a focus trap someone copied off a blog post in 2019. Here is the thing nobody told you: that advice is out of date. The browser will now trap focus for you, make the rest of
