Quick, call de cops. I haz been blacklisted. I got an email from The ADA Checklist WCAG Accessibility team, claiming my company website had been blacklisted as we didnt cater to people with disabilities.
Ohhh Archie, Archie, Archie – if that’s even your real name. This isn’t how you get customers bro – this is how you get on my radar, and this is how you get shut down, buddy.
This reminds me of another scam fake web design/website association/service that got offended that I called them out scare me into backing down. Where are they now I wonder?
This scam is quite interesting though, as they are using guilt to blindside you into contacting them. I bet their conversion rate is higher than if they were just cold-emailing people offering free website reviews or something.
I didnt fill out the contact form, but I’m sure they will try and sell me recycled plugins or some AI nonsense that will allow people to change the colour of the website, or make buttons bigger – etc.
There are plenty of Accessibility plugins for WordPress, and there are gonna be loads for other platforms too – and there are no laws in which you can be fined for unless you are a public sector business – of which most of us are not
So dont take the bait, dont contact ADA Checklist or any other company claiming to be an authority that is going to fine you for not jumping through a hoop they put there themselves.
