Editorial Policy

Last updated: May 13, 2026

Our standards

We optimize for accuracy, specificity, and developer-usefulness over breadth. A guide that names a specific WCAG success criterion, walks through a concrete code example, and cites the primary source where the rule is defined is more valuable than a broad overview that hedges every claim. Each long-form guide on adacodefix.com cites a primary source where a factual claim is made: W3C documents for WCAG criteria, DOJ rule text for Title II and Title III references, and court filings or settlement documents for legal examples.

Sources

Our primary references are: W3C Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) documents, including the WCAG Understanding pages and the ARIA Authoring Practices Guide; the DOJ Title II rule text codified at 28 CFR Part 35 and related guidance from the Department of Justice; HHS Office for Civil Rights resolution agreements; court filings retrieved through PACER and from publicly searchable court databases; and the WebAIM Million annual report for landscape statistics. For technical detail we also reference the axe-core rule documentation maintained by Deque Systems.

Use of AI

AI assists with first-draft generation, code-example formatting, and structuring long technical sections. Every published guide is then reviewed for technical accuracy by a human before publishing. Factual claims, statute citations, case names, and ruling dates are checked against primary sources, not against the AI draft. AI-generated code is verified to actually compile or run before it appears in a guide. We do not publish AI-generated text as-is without a human review pass.

Updates

We update articles when the law changes, when courts issue rulings that cite new cases or set new precedent, when WCAG success criteria are added or modified, or when readers report errors. The date under each article's title reflects the last meaningful update to the content. For substantive changes, see our Corrections Policy for how we handle and note changes.

No legal advice

Our content is informational, not legal advice. The authors at ADA CodeFix are not licensed attorneys, and nothing on adacodefix.com creates an attorney-client relationship. ADA, Section 508, Title II, and Title III applications are fact-specific and jurisdiction- sensitive. For case-specific guidance about your obligations or your exposure, consult qualified counsel licensed in the relevant jurisdiction.
