Ontario · AODA · WCAG 2.2 AA
Is your website a $100,000 liability — or your best salesperson?
Every Ontario business with 20+ employees must report WCAG 2.2 AA compliance by December 31, 2026. We fix the real problem — your source code — and turn the project into a faster, higher-converting, fully-funded asset.
- Manual screen-reader testing
- Real developers, not plugins
- Shopify & B2B builds
- CSBFP & CanExport funding
Time to the AODA deadline
Your 2026 exposure
- Maximum penalty
- $100,000 / day
- One complaint to defend
- $30,000+
- A PassProof audit
- from $1,500
Prevention ≈ 10–12× cheaper than the first call from a lawyer.
01
The cost of waiting
The 2026 deadline isn’t a suggestion. It’s a countdown.
Under the AODA, accessibility isn’t optional — and the penalties are designed to hurt.
December 31, 2026
AODA compliance report due for organizations with 20+ employees in Ontario.
$100k / day
Maximum AODA penalty for a corporation. Directors face up to $50,000/day — personally.
$30k–$175k
Typical range to settle or litigate a single accessibility complaint.
4,000+ / yr
Accessibility lawsuits filed across North America — rising, plus ADA exposure if you sell into the U.S.
02
Don’t fall for the patch
That “free accessibility widget” is a lawsuit magnet.
Automated overlays catch only 30–40% of WCAG failures — and courts have repeatedly refused to accept them as a defense. Worse: plaintiff firms now search for these scripts.
“Free” accessibility widgets & overlays
- A cosmetic JavaScript layer bolted on top of the page
- Catches only ~30–40% of WCAG failures
- Not accepted by courts as a legal defense
- Flagged by plaintiff firms as a target signal
- Often breaks the experience for real screen-reader users
The PassProof way
- We remediate the actual source code
- Manual + assistive-tech testing for real coverage
- Documented, audit-ready WCAG 2.2 AA conformance
- Removes the signal — and the underlying risk
- Tested with the tools disabled people actually use
03
Three pillars, one partner
De-risk. Grow. Fund.
We don’t build cheap brochure sites. We remove six-figure risk, grow revenue, and help you pay for it with the right funding.
Protect — AODA Audit & Remediation
WCAG 2.2 AA audits with real screen-reader testing — then we fix the actual code. From $1,500.
Compliance & remediation Grow — Shopify & B2B E-commerce
Custom stores and B2B portals, accessible by design and built to sell. From $6,000.
E-commerce that converts Fund — CSBFP & CanExport
CDAP is gone — but financing isn’t. We help you structure the project to qualify for loans and grants.
Funding guidance 04
Cheap vs. catastrophe
Prevention costs ~10× less than the first phone call from a lawyer.
$1,500 today versus $30,000+ later — before you count the revenue from a better-converting site.
| Cost of inaction versus a PassProof audit. Penalty amounts are statutory maximums on conviction (AODA, O. Reg. 134/16) — not typical or guaranteed outcomes. | Do nothing | PassProof |
|---|---|---|
| Upfront cost | $0 | $1,500 (audit) |
| If a complaint lands | $30,000 – $175,000 | Documented WCAG 2.2 AA conformance to support your defense |
| Daily penalty risk | up to $100,000 / day | Substantially reduced |
| Your website | Unchanged | Faster & higher-converting |
05
How it works
From liability to asset in three steps.
- 01
Audit
Automated scan plus manual testing with real screen readers. You get a prioritised, evidence-backed report.
- 02
Remediate
We fix the source code — never a plugin — and document conformance for your AODA report.
- 03
Protect
Our Care Plan monitors the site monthly, so a future update never quietly re-opens your risk.
Don’t pay out of pocket
CDAP closed. CSBFP and CanExport didn’t.
We help Ontario businesses finance the build through CSBFP loans, and tap CanExport grants of up to $50,000 for entering new markets. Compliance you don’t feel in cash flow.
06
Straight answers
Questions Ontario owners actually ask.
Can’t I just install a free accessibility widget?
Overlays catch only ~30–40% of WCAG failures, courts don’t accept them as a legal defense, and plaintiff firms actively target sites that use them. We fix the source code instead — real, documented WCAG 2.2 AA conformance.
What does a free Risk Snapshot include?
A review of your homepage: the top accessibility failures we find, your estimated exposure, and a fixed-price path to compliance. No obligation, no sales pressure.
How fast can you get us compliant?
Most small-business sites are audited within days and remediated in 2–4 weeks. We always fix the highest-risk failures first.
Does this help us sell more, or just avoid fines?
Both. Accessible, well-built sites are faster, rank better in search, and convert more customers. Compliance is the floor — growth is the point.
