You manage a town, city, or county website. Citizens call: "I can't find the form online." They drive to town hall instead. HandyPal lets citizens adjust your site so they can actually find what they need. Works with all government platforms. $29/month.
Used by 150+ government agencies to meet Section 508 requirements and improve citizen self-service rates.
Why government accessibility is mandatory
Federal, state, and local government websites must provide equal access to all citizens under federal law.
Section 508 and ADA Title II mandate that all federal, state, and local government websites be accessible. Non-compliance violates civil rights laws.
Mandatory for all public entities
61 million Americans with disabilities need accessible government services. From tax filing to benefit applications, equal access is essential.
Serve all constituents equally
Government agencies face DOJ investigations and lawsuits for inaccessible websites. Settlements require costly remediation and ongoing monitoring.
Avoid costly litigation

This includes websites, web applications, and online services. Non-compliance can result in DOJ investigations and civil rights complaints.
HandyPal installs in 90 seconds with one line of code. Accessibility features go live immediately. However, true compliance requires ongoing effort beyond just a widget—proper HTML structure, alt text, and accessible forms are also important.
HandyPal provides accessibility features to help work toward compliance, but no widget can guarantee protection from legal action. We recommend combining HandyPal with proper development practices and regular accessibility audits.
