Frequently asked questions
Which accessibility laws affect web projects in Canada?
Ontario-based organizations must comply with AODA and meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards for their websites. Federal agencies follow the Accessible Canada Act (ACA), while other provinces—such as British Columbia and Quebec—have their own web accessibility requirements. Most public sector, higher education, health, and nonprofit organizations are held to these mandatory standards.
What are the penalties if we miss the AODA website deadline?
Missing an AODA compliance deadline can trigger formal complaints, government audits, and legal investigations. Consequences include potential fines, public reporting of violations, reputational harm, and even loss of grant funding or contracts in regulated sectors.
When should we integrate accessibility in our rebuild?
Integrate accessibility from the very beginning: during scoping, requirements gathering, and design—well before development starts. Delaying accessibility leads to more costly, less effective fixes later on.
How do you verify accessibility compliance before launch?
Before launch, DoodleWeb provides a detailed compliance audit using a full suite of automated tools and manual review by accessibility-trained experts. We document how your site meets every standard, and supply a formal report for your records or for funding/legal needs.
Do we need to update for WCAG 2.2 or future standards?
Yes. While current law often references WCAG 2.1 AA, regulations are evolving. DoodleWeb recommends future-proofing your rebuild for WCAG 2.2 where practical. We stay current on accessibility standards and alert clients to changes that impact compliance.
Who is responsible for accessibility compliance: the web agency or the client?
Responsibility is shared. The web agency must deliver compliant, accessible code and design, along with clear guidance. The client must maintain accessible content and ensure staff follow best practices after launch to stay compliant.
Can DoodleWeb support ongoing accessibility updates?
Yes. DoodleWeb offers ongoing packages for accessibility monitoring, routine audits, and remediation—so your site stays on top of changing rules and user needs.
Where can I verify DoodleWeb’s accessibility expertise?
DoodleWeb holds certified Drupal partner status and is independently reviewed on third-party directories like Clutch and Sortlist. Visit https://doodleweb.ca/badges to see our current certifications, awards, and partner badges.
