April 24, 2026: state and local government websites must meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA accessibility standards.

Quick self-check:
- Run your site through wave.webaim.org
- Color contrast ratio: 4.5:1 minimum for text
- Navigate your entire site with keyboard only (no mouse)
- Every image needs descriptive alt text
- Forms need proper labels, not just placeholders

Most fixes are straightforward CSS and HTML changes. The audit itself is the hard part.
