LIGHTHOUSE OFFERS THE EXPERTISE YOU NEED
Experience You Can Rely On In the complex world of ADA compliance, Lighthouse Works is your trusted partner. Using proprietary audits and hands-on consulting, our team of experts will help your business earn an ADA Seal of Approval, resolve lawsuits and stay protected in the future.
Effortless Results Get a comprehensive, detailed, easy-to-understand report that identifies website accessibility issues, with simple recommendations for resolving them at the code level.
Win-Win Solutions A good online strategy and design provides a better user experience for everyone — not just customers with disabilities. Accessible websites tend to enjoy better clickthrough rates and search engine optimization (SEO) — earning higher search rankings and more web traffic.
Customized Support Created to develop solutions for our visually impaired contact center group, we have assembled a team of experts that understand first-hand both the coding and the end-user experience of a compliant website and digital materials — allowing them to consistently meet and exceed our customers’ expectations.
Forward-Looking Design Today, tomorrow or ten years from now, your site will always be 100% accessible and compliant with the latest regulations.
OUR PROVEN PROCESS OUTPERFORMS WIDGETS
Most toolbars and plug-ins check only 40% of common compliance standards, leaving the other 60% unresolved. In the long term, many companies end up with two different versions of their website, allowing problems to escalate over time.
At Lighthouse, we use a combination of automated screening and human testers to dig into the details of your digital presence — ensuring total accessibility.

Better for Business (And the Bottom Line)
While lawsuits focused on web accessibility are on the rise, accessibility is about more than legal hot water. Approximately 1 in 4 adults in the United States have some type of disability – and failing to accommodate them means alienating an entire segment of potential customers.
Did you know?
Digital design remains one of the most pressing barriers to accessibility in modern America. A yearly analysis from the nonprofit WebAIM found that of the top 1 million site home pages, more than 97% had some issues that made them difficult to access even with assistive technology.

The Solutions You Are Looking For
“Lighthouse was by far the best choice. They were reasonably priced, and the actual workers who tested our website had disabilities themselves — this definitely increased their credibility. We highly recommend Lighthouse Works to any company, large or small, that needs to update their website to gain ADA accessibility status.”
