WCAG 2.1 Level AA audits and remediation for Ontario businesses. The AODA compliance report deadline is December 31, 2026. We find every accessibility barrier on your website and fix it properly, with real code, not overlay widgets.
Free consultation · No commitment
Ontario organizations with 20 or more employees must file accessibility compliance reports by December 31, 2026, and public-facing websites must meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Corporations face penalties of up to $100,000 per day for non-compliance. Federally regulated organizations face their own phased deadlines under the Accessible Canada Act between 2026 and 2028. WebLaunch.ca handles the technical side, auditing your website against WCAG 2.1 AA, fixing every failure in code, and supporting your compliance report. We provide technical implementation, not legal advice.
A complete technical path from audit to verified WCAG 2.1 AA conformance
Automated scanning plus manual testing against all Level A and AA success criteria. You get a prioritized report of every failure, where it lives, and how we will fix it.
Real testing with VoiceOver and NVDA, the way actual users experience your site. Automated tools catch barely a third of accessibility issues; manual testing catches the rest.
We fix colour contrast failures, text sizing, focus indicators, and reflow issues so your site is readable for users with low vision, without wrecking your brand.
Every menu, modal, carousel, and interactive element made fully operable by keyboard, with correct ARIA roles, labels, and states for assistive technology.
Form labels, error messaging, and validation rebuilt to WCAG standards, plus captions for video and transcripts for audio content.
Documentation to support your AODA compliance filing, plus ongoing monitoring so new content and features do not reintroduce barriers.
AODA penalties reach up to $100,000 per day for corporations and up to $50,000 per day for directors and officers. The cost of proper remediation is a fraction of one day of maximum fines.
Compliance reports are due December 31, 2026, and the Accessible Canada Act adds phased federal deadlines through 2028. Remediation takes weeks, not days, so the businesses that start early file with confidence.
Over a quarter of Canadians live with a disability. An accessible website is not just a legal checkbox, it is a larger market, better usability for everyone, and stronger SEO signals.
Overlay widgets that claim one-line compliance are being named in accessibility lawsuits across North America. We fix your actual code, so your conformance holds up to scrutiny.

Ontario organizations with 20 or more employees must file accessibility compliance reports, and public-facing websites and web content must meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Federally regulated organizations such as banks, telecoms, and transportation companies fall under the Accessible Canada Act instead, with phased deadlines between 2026 and 2028.
Accessibility compliance reports are due December 31, 2026. Website remediation typically takes 4 to 8 weeks, so starting in 2026 with time to fix, verify, and document is the safe path. Waiting until the final months risks filing a report you cannot back up.
Corporations face penalties of up to $100,000 per day, and directors and officers can be personally fined up to $50,000 per day. Beyond fines, inaccessible websites increasingly attract human rights complaints and lawsuits, which cost far more than remediation.
No. Overlay widgets like accessiBe-style toolbars do not fix the underlying code, routinely fail manual WCAG testing, and companies using them are being named in accessibility lawsuits. Real compliance requires remediating your actual HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, which is exactly what we do.
Most small business websites take 4 to 6 weeks from audit to verified WCAG 2.1 AA conformance. Larger sites with complex forms, e-commerce, or heavy media content typically take 6 to 8 weeks. The audit itself takes 1 to 2 weeks and gives you an exact timeline for your site.
No. WebLaunch.ca provides technical auditing and remediation against WCAG 2.1 AA standards, plus documentation to support your compliance filing. For questions about your specific legal obligations under AODA or the Accessible Canada Act, consult a lawyer. We handle the code; your counsel handles the law.
