⚖️ Legal & Finance Accessibility

Your Client Base Is Aging.
Your Exposure Is Growing.

1 in 4 adults over 65 has a disability. For law firms, banks, financial advisors, and accounting firms, the client demographic most likely to need your services is also the most likely to encounter accessibility barriers on your website.

Common Violations

What Plaintiffs Target on Professional Services Websites

📄

PDF Documents

Engagement letters, contracts, financial reports, tax forms, legal filings, and client correspondence. Professional services sites are the most PDF-heavy category — and nearly all are inaccessible.

💻

Client Portals

Secure login, document sharing, case status, billing, and messaging systems must be fully keyboard-accessible with proper labels, roles, and error handling.

📅

Appointment Scheduling

Consultation booking, date pickers, and intake forms must be accessible. Calendly, Acuity, and custom schedulers frequently have WCAG failures.

👤

Attorney / Advisor Bios

Professional headshots need alt text. Practice area descriptions need proper heading hierarchy. Bio pages are often the most-visited pages on professional services sites.

📝

Contact & Intake Forms

Initial consultation forms, "Contact Us" pages, and client intake questionnaires must have labeled fields, error identification, and keyboard access. Most fail on at least one.

🎨

Design & Contrast

Professional services sites often use light gray text for "elegance" — which fails WCAG contrast ratios. Navy-on-dark-blue color schemes are especially common failures.
