317 salons, spas, and beauty practices got hit with ADA web lawsuits in 2025 — 8.03% of all filings. San Diego's restaurant-and-retail strip in North Park, the boutique cluster in Hillcrest, the family-restaurant set in Pacific Beach — all heavy on independently-owned sites that pre-date current WCAG enforcement. The county's small-business economy is exactly the cohort 2025's litigation wave is targeting. We rebuild salon, spa, or beauty practice sites in San Diego to WCAG 2.1 AA in 1–2 weeks.
The defining beauty-site element, and the most common litigation surface. Every untagged image is a fail. Even a 'Before' / 'After' caption beneath isn't enough — screen readers need explicit alt.
Bridal, micro-blading, lash-extension, hydrafacial — anything priced. Most salons keep the menu as a photo of a printed page. WCAG won't accept it; Google can't index it.
Square Appointments, Boulevard, Vagaro, Mindbody — the widget might be accessible, but the way it's embedded usually isn't. Focus jumps to the iframe and gets stuck.
If you sell aftercare or skincare from your site, every product page is a potential lawsuit vector. Add to cart with no label, color/size pickers without ARIA, checkout with placeholder-only inputs.
Customers want to call. Half of beauty sites bury the number behind a photo carousel or hide it in the footer at 11px gray-on-cream.
Live mobile scores in seconds — same engine Google uses to rank you. No email required.
That's 317 cases. Average settlement runs $25,000–$50,000; attorneys' fees on top. 77%of defendants are small businesses earning under $25M. Remediation costs a small fraction of either number — and the demand letter doesn't care how good your service is.

Run our automated audit above, or let us hand-write one. We return a written report with every WCAG criterion you fail, every Core Web Vital miss, and what each one would cost to fix.
Tied to a defined deliverable list. Not hourly. We tell you the price before any work begins; if it changes, you sign off first.
You see what we're building each day, not in a Friday update. We ship on the date in the quote.
We embed it accessibly. Most modern booking platforms publish accessible widget options; we use those. If your booking platform's widget is fundamentally broken, we'll flag it.
Yes. Every image needs a meaningful alt — 'Lip filler before treatment, frontal view' is fine, generic 'before' is not. We write the alts as part of the rebuild; you don't have to.
Yes. We treat your existing photo library as input. We add alt text and optimize for the web; we don't replace your photography unless you ask us to.
Yes. The lawsuit usually names your website regardless of where most sales happen — what matters is that a screen-reader user can use your site. The booking flow is the most-cited element after photo alt-text.
Free. 1–2 weeks if you move forward. No overlay widgets. No 6-month timelines.
