ADA Comply Guy
Helped bring a 'first to market' Hybrid SaaS Solution that helps Business owners become ADA Compliant and improve their web accessibility on their website and sales funnels.
Dedicated to helping businesses become ADA compliant to protect from frivolous lawsuits, connect with a larger target market and get government funding for helping those of us with disabilities live a more connected life.
Tony Caggiano, the Original ADA Comply Guy, has a long history of Philanthropy and giving back to help other who need it.
From volunteering with various groups like the Special Olympics and the United Way over the years and having two children with special needs, has heightened his awareness for the need to give back to help those who need it.
In 2019, having an entrepreneurial spirit an a background in the IT industry, he was working on a project to build a mobile app to help fundraising for local schools in NC. When this project was shelved in early 2020 due to to the covid-19 pandemic, he stumbled upon a new opportunity which came about from the connections he made building the app. This was software to help make websites ADA Compliant.
After some research he found that the need and the urgency was extreme because, at that time, less than 1% of all websites were ADA compliant or provided any accessibility for people with disabilities.
ADA Non-Compliance lawsuits were on the rise growing exponentially since 2017. and seeing this huge need, he found his calling.
Partnering with the developer of this software, he helped to improve it and started his journey to educate businesses on the importance of this new law and to help them avoid non-warranted legal issues just because they were unaware of a new regulation.
Hi mission has quickly became one of an advocate for both the Disabled Community and for unknowing business owners.
Today we are able to provide a comprehensive service that includes not only our software tool to provide Accessibility features on-demand, but also services that improve the website itself and get our clients to the highest level of compliance to help as many users as possible.
In addition , we help our clients qualify for government funding and grants provided by our Non-Profit partner, the WAAF, Web Accessibility Awareness Foundation.
This helps to make our solution not only a no-cost option but clients can also get additional funding to cover existing digital marketing expenses and website updates, each year, once they are compliant.
We are on our way to the ultimate goal of helping make the entire Internet Accessible to people of ALL Abilities.
Is Your Website ADA Compliant?
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires businesses to make accommodations for people with disabilities. Web content should be accessible to the blind, deaf, and those who must navigate by voice, screen readers or other assistive technologies

A First To Market Product That SolvesA $650 BILLION PROBLEM
An historic supreme court judgement last year caused a surge in websites owners being sued for non-compliance with ADA.
1,500+ legal cases related to non-accessibility compliance in New York alone in 2018
More than 10,000 websites sued in 2019 for their website not being ADA compliant
This number is expected to hit 100k in 2020
Unlike GDPR, The ADA law requires no notice before a lawsuit is filed against a company for non-compliance.
The law provides no time for a company to take action before a lawsuit is filed, and it offers no real defense to a company after a lawsuit has been filed.
Most business/website owners sued pay between $2000 - $200k as out of court settlement.
A recent settlement was over $6 Million.
Businesses have spent an average of $3k - $50k to get their website fixed... UNTIL NOW!
Benefits of having an ADA compliant/Accessible Website:
1- Rank higher on search engines. (Google loves accessible websites)
2 - Tap into the $650 billion per year untapped disability market.
3 - Avoid being a target of an increasing number of lawsuits for not having an ADA compliant website... and this figure keeps going up.
4 - Being social responsible. It is just good business. The more we treat our customers with respect and kindness, the more they will want to do business with us.

Web Accessibility Lawsuits in the U.S.
All people have the right to equal treatment and shouldn’t experience discrimination because they happen to have a disability.
Many laws in the U.S. support this right. If you violate one of these laws, then you can find yourself at the defensive end of a lawsuit.
In 2019, according to an analysis by international legal firm Seyfarth Shaw, web accessibility federal lawsuits hit record numbers filed in federal court, an 8.8% increase from 2018.
California led the way, which may be in response to a ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit which reversed a federal judge’s 2017 dismissal of a case against Domino’s Pizza. A man who is blind claimed that he was unable to use Domino’s website or mobile app because neither was accessible. This triggered more plaintiffs to launch web accessibility lawsuits in California and across the US.
Both California, New York and several other states have laws banning discrimination. In California, it’s the Unruh Civil Rights Act; New York has a New York State Human Rights Law.
Over the years, people have filed web accessibility lawsuits over Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act violations. Section 508 federal departments and agencies ensure ICT (information and communication technology) they use is accessible. People have taken legal action against both the Social Security Administration and the Department of Homeland Security over Section 508 violations.
Are These Lawsuits “Frivolous”?
It’s important to understand that web accessibility is anything but frivolous.
Disabilities commonly affect the way people go online. Instead of typing on a keyboard, some individuals may use toggle switches or voice input. Instead of looking at images, they may only be able to read descriptive text on the page, using screen-reading software. Or they may need to magnify a web page before they can read it.
Websites must use accessible tools and design for these Internet use methods to work. If you don’t have the disability-related experience, just think about how lost you’d be if you couldn’t quickly look up the arrival time of the next commuter train on your smartphone or consult the weather forecast as you’re headed out the door. Without web accessibility, millions of people with disabilities miss out on these simple conveniences.
The majority of ADA lawsuits are legitimate. The people with disabilities who filed these lawsuits experienced real digital barriers. It’s important to note when plaintiffs file federal lawsuits under the ADA, they cannot sue for monetary damages. A plaintiff can only seek reimbursement of their legal fees as well as remediation of the inaccessibility in question. They aren’t launching litigation because they’re looking for some quick cash. The reason they sue is to compel a business that has violated federal law to change its discriminatory practices.
Where is becomes a large financial burden on non-compliant businesses is when the plaintiff sues on the state level in additional to the federal. The state laws DO allow for "damages" in the form of monitory payments which on average range from $40-50k per instance.
