Your website works for everyone. We make sure of it.

We provide web accessibility audits, digital accessibility remediation, and Answer Engine Optimization consultancy — without the intimidation, the jargon, or the judgment. Because your site's barriers were almost certainly not your fault to begin with.

Zero Judgment Approach
The Real Picture

It's not your fault.
But it does become your problem.

Most website accessibility issues stem from templates built before modern standards, plugins that inject inaccessible code, or agencies that simply didn't prioritize it. You inherited the problem. We help you fix it.

1 in 4 adults in the US lives with a disability.

That's over 61 million people who encounter barriers on inaccessible websites every single day. When your site can't be navigated by keyboard, read by a screen reader, or understood by someone with cognitive differences, you're closing the door on a quarter of your potential customers.

Courts continue to extend ADA protections to private business websites under Title III, with WCAG 2.2 Level AA as the standard they reference. (The DOJ's separate Title II rule covers state and local government sites.) Accessibility isn't a courtesy — it's legal infrastructure. We help you get ahead of it before a demand letter arrives.

AI search engines can't cite what they can't read.

ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews parse your site's structure to decide if you're a credible source worth recommending. "Div soup" — pages built with no semantic landmarks — is invisible to these systems. Clean, accessible code is the same code that gets your business cited as an authoritative answer.

The "Always Open" Guardian

Flexible monthly partnership

Once your site is remediated, we keep it that way — running recurring scans, tracking AEO citation health, and catching new issues introduced by content, plugin, and template changes over time.

  • Monthly automated re-scans
  • AEO citation tracking & reporting
  • Quarterly compliance tune-up session
  • Plugin & update impact monitoring
  • Priority response on newly introduced issues
  • For sites already brought up to standard (existing issues remediated first)

How We Compare

Which approach is better for your site?

We help you choose the right path. Here is how real accessibility consulting compares to the two most common alternatives businesses consider.

The way we do it Real accessibility consulting

Simply Black and White

We find the real problems in your code and content, pinpoint every barrier, and hand you a prioritized roadmap your team can act on. Want us to do the hands-on remediation ourselves? That is our premium engagement.

  • Pinpoints root causes, not surface symptoms
  • Prioritized, developer-ready fix roadmap
  • Improves AI search visibility at the same time
  • Full hands-on remediation available as a premium tier
Accessibility overlay widgets

Overlay tools vs. real fixes

Overlays apply a browser script that tries to patch issues on the surface. Unlike genuine remediation, they leave the underlying barriers in place — and the disability community widely criticizes them. A widget is not a substitute for accessible code.

  • Patches the surface, not the source
  • Can introduce new barriers
  • Often creates a false sense of compliance
Automated scan vs. expert audit

Automated-only tools

Automated scanners catch roughly a third of accessibility issues. The difference between an automated-only check and a real audit is human context: we interpret what the scan finds, prioritize by real-world impact, and tell you exactly what to fix first.

  • Catches only part of the picture alone
  • Misses context an expert provides
  • We pair automation with human review
Free Instant Scan

See what's blocking your visitors
in 60 seconds.

Drop your URL below. We run a real accessibility and AEO health check — no email required, no strings attached. Just honest findings.

Enter your website URL to receive a free accessibility and AEO snapshot report.

Include https:// — for example: https://yourbusiness.com

How the scan works

  1. You submit your URL. We validate it and check that the page is publicly reachable.
  2. We load your rendered page. A headless browser loads your full site — including JavaScript — exactly as a real visitor sees it.
  3. We run the analysis. axe-core evaluates WCAG compliance while our AEO engine checks semantic structure and schema markup.
  4. You get honest findings. No sales fluff — just the top issues that affect real people and your AI search visibility.

About Us

We're the ally your
last agency wasn't.

Simply Black and White exists because most accessibility conversations start with blame. We don't do that. We understand that the gap between an inaccessible site and a compliant one is almost always the result of inherited code, template limitations, and third-party plugins — not intentional neglect.

Our approach is simple: we tell you exactly what's broken, why it matters to real human beings, and precisely what needs to change. Then we hand that roadmap to your team in a format they can actually use — no decoder ring required.

We also think about the future of search. The same clean, semantic code that makes your site accessible to a screen reader is the code that makes your business visible to AI search engines. Accessibility and AEO are two sides of the same coin.

Common Questions

Questions we answer every week

Straight answers to what business owners ask us most. Want more? Read the full FAQ.

Does my small business website need to be ADA compliant?

Most private businesses that serve the public fall under ADA Title III, and courts increasingly apply it to websites. (Title II is separate — it covers state and local government entities like schools and courts.) We help you meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA, the standard courts reference, which reduces legal risk and opens your site to more customers.

What is AEO, and why does it matter for my business?

AEO stands for Answer Engine Optimization. We structure your content so AI search engines — ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews — read, understand, and recommend your business when people ask questions. We build the clean, semantic structure these systems cite as authoritative.

Should I hire a consultant or use an accessibility overlay tool?

We fix the real thing. Overlay widgets patch the surface in the browser but leave the underlying barriers in place, and the disability community widely criticizes them. We address root causes in your code and content, so your site works with every assistive technology.

How is an accessibility audit different from ongoing monitoring?

An audit is a point-in-time assessment that identifies existing barriers. Monitoring is continuous — we re-scan your site regularly to catch new issues as you add content, update plugins, or change templates. The audit gets you to a baseline; monitoring keeps you there.
