Does an accessibility overlay help defend an ADA website claim?

An overlay subscription by itself is weak evidence because it does not prove the underlying storefront works for keyboard and screen reader users. A stronger record shows source-level remediation, repeated testing, prompt repairs, and verification before the claim. If an overlay is present, treat it as a visitor preference tool, not as a substitute for fixing the site.

What counsel needs to show

The useful story is a real program: known scope, recurring tests, accountable owners, completed repairs, and a current status report. A receipt shows a purchase, not that blocked tasks were found or fixed.

Avoid the after-the-letter shortcut

Installing a widget after receiving a letter does not repair the cited code and can create a poor timeline. Preserve the site state, engage counsel, audit the actual flows, and start verified remediation immediately.
