The Risk is Real

Why Township Websites
Are Uniquely Vulnerable

Local government websites are increasingly being targeted by ADA compliance attorneys. Townships face the same legal exposure as large municipalities, but with far fewer resources to defend themselves.

Federal Law Applies to You

Title II of the ADA requires all state and local government entities including townships, to ensure their websites are accessible to people with disabilities. In 2024, the DOJ finalized new rules with strict WCAG 2.1 AA standards.

Audit Demands Are Rising

Disability advocacy organizations are systematically auditing Michigan township websites and sending demand letters. Many townships receive these with a 30-day cure period before formal legal action begins.

The Cost of Non-Compliance

Beyond settlements, non-compliant townships risk losing federal grants and funding tied to civil rights compliance. The cost of remediation after a lawsuit is 5–10x higher than proactive compliance today.

FAQ

Common Questions

Does ADA really apply to our small township website?

Yes. Title II of the ADA applies to all state and local government entities regardless of size, including townships with small budgets and small populations. In April 2024, the DOJ issued a final rule explicitly requiring government websites to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards. Smaller entities have a compliance deadline of April 24, 2027, but demand letters from advocacy groups are already arriving at township offices across Michigan.

Our standard turnaround is 30 days from signed agreement to live website. For townships with straightforward content needs, we’ve delivered in as few as 2 weeks. We’ll give you a specific timeline during your free audit call based on the scope of your site.

Sometimes, yes — and we’ll tell you honestly after the free audit. Older sites built on certain platforms (like outdated Joomla or custom HTML) often have structural issues that make remediation more expensive than a clean rebuild. We’ll show you both options and costs so you can make the best decision for your township.

Contact us immediately. We can perform an emergency audit and begin remediation to demonstrate good-faith compliance effort, which courts and advocacy groups consider heavily. Our maintenance plan clients also receive a Legal Demand Letter Response Kit that documents compliance actions taken.

We’ve built a streamlined process specifically for township government websites. By using a purpose-built template framework that meets WCAG 2.1 AA standards, we can deliver faster without sacrificing quality. The $99/month maintenance plan is where we build a long-term relationship — you get continued compliance coverage and we get to support Michigan township communities we care about.
