ADA Essentials and ADA Plus Frequently Asked Questions

While prioritizing ADA accessibility is vital, it's important to acknowledge that despite existing guidelines, there are currently no concrete laws that establish absolute 100% compliance standards for websites. Therefore, compliance is subjective and varies depending on factors such as the accessibility tools being used.

But now with ADA Essentials and ADA Plus, we are able to utilize AudioEye’s expertise in this field to effectively assist customers with the accessibility upkeep of their sites and help with documentation and remediation if a lawsuit does occur.

We do not guarantee protection from lawsuits, however, having this accessibility add-on on your website significantly reduces the chances of receiving a lawsuit.

There is no such thing as a 100% compliant website because there are no federal laws around what it means to have a compliant website. That said, ADA Essentials and ADA Plus ensure your website is as accessible as possible. It's one of the most trusted tools in the market for this kind of work.

Accessibility monitoring on the day you sign up for your ADA Essentials/Plus plan, but it may take up to 14 days for the widget to appear. 

In the event that this does occur, we will supply you with a Sustainable Testing and Remediation (STAR) Plan from AudioEye, which speaks to all the work that has been done on your site. Please reach out to your BentoBox contact requesting this information and they will get this for you. 

We will also have our accessibility partners at AudioEye review the allegations and provide additional correspondence as needed.

All the remediation work that has been done on your website does carry over to mobile. Help Desk and the Certification Statement tools on the toolbar will be the only tools that show up on mobile.

The rest of the tools do not appear on your mobile website because these devices are already equipped with accessibility tools like VoiceOver (Apple) and TalkBack (Android).

Both tools work with all modern, standard-compliant Web browsers, including the latest two versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Microsoft Edge, and Internet Explorer 11.
As of January 12, 2016, Microsoft stopped providing security updates, compatibility fixes, and technical support to Internet Explorer 10 and below. As a result, these non-secure, legacy browsers are not supported by ADA Essentials or ADA Plus powered by AudioEye. Microsoft is only providing these updates to IE 11+ going forward.
