For Texas municipalities, the most urgent ADA risk comes from auto-generated PDFs created by CMS platforms like Granicus and CivicPlus.

While the new Title II regulations take effect on April 24, 2026, Texas state digital accessibility requirements have already aligned with WCAG 2.1 AA for years.

Here’s how we’re helping Texas teams strengthen their workflows, improve their automated outputs, and stay confidently ahead of compliance.

For Mitchell, inaccessibility wasn’t something he noticed recently... it’s something he’s been living with since high school.

Years of PDFs he couldn’t read.
Websites that blocked him.
Assignments he couldn’t finish without help.

He knows the frustration.
He knows the pain.
And he knows exactly what it feels like to fall behind because the world wasn’t built for you.

But instead of letting it stop him, he turned every barrier into a stepping stone toward a bright career.

Today, Mitchell is CAT-certified, Trusted Tester certified through the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and working as a Junior Accessibility Tester. He’s also one of the 75% of our team members with disabilities... proving every day that disability isn’t a limitation. It’s strength. It’s perspective. It’s value.

“Logically, it just didn’t make sense for that guy…
All he’s thinking is, ‘How’s that blind guy going to see the computer screen?’
We win on emotion, not logic.” — Tanner Gers

They doubted him.
He got a job anyway... and later built a company helping blind professionals get theirs.

In our latest live Ask Me Anything, “How Blind Professionals Get Hired in 2026,” Tanner and the team went deep on the real challenges of getting hired when you’re blind... the mindset, the skills, and the winning systems.

New York is leading the charge on digital accessibility... responding to thousands of ADA website complaints and preparing early for the April 24, 2026, Title II deadline.

Tables are one of the biggest pain points in PDF accessibility.

We’ve helped local New York teams rebuild their tables so every cell, header, and label meets ADA standards.

We’ve been working with New York government teams to make that process simpler, faster, and more sustainable.
