Accessibility enforcement

Accessibility that’s enforced, not hoped for

Every page, document, form, widget, theme change and imported template is checked against WCAG 2.1 AA before it can be published. Problems are explained in plain language with a fix.

In practice

What it looks like on a normal day

  • When

    An editor uploads a photo with no alt text

    Then

    Publish is blocked. The AI suggests a description from the photo; the editor confirms or marks it decorative.

  • When

    Someone picks light gray text on white

    Then

    Contrast below 4.5:1 is refused, with the nearest passing color offered instead.

  • When

    A scanned 2019 budget PDF is uploaded

    Then

    It’s held as a draft, sent to SentraCheck for repair, or moved to the Title II archive with a request-a-copy link.

  • When

    Council asks “are we ready for the Title II rule?”

    Then

    Print the readiness report: each requirement, its status and the work left, from live site data.

The AA gate

Problems are caught before residents see them

The same checks run in the page builder, through the API and for the AI assistant. Site admins can’t switch the gate off.

  • Images need alt text (AI suggests one) or a ‘decorative’ mark
  • Contrast, skipped headings, unlabeled fields and autoplay are blocked
  • Forms, PDFs and reading level are checked too
  • Custom CSS that hides focus outlines is rejected

ADA Title II

A readiness checklist tied to the rule

Every requirement of the DOJ rule (28 CFR part 35, subpart H) with its live status, the days left to your compliance date, and an archive for old content the rule lets you keep.

  • Archive with the exceptions the rule allows, clearly marked
  • Readiness report for council, printable
  • Dates follow your population and the April 2026 extension

Questions

Does automated checking catch everything?

No automated tool catches every barrier. Sentra CMS blocks the problems machines can find reliably and marks the rest ‘Not evaluated’ in the ACR: we recommend a manual keyboard and screen reader check before launch, and we include one in migrations.

Which standard do you check against?

WCAG 2.1 Level AA, the standard named in the U.S. Department of Justice’s 2024 ADA Title II rule for state and local government websites.

Do you provide a VPAT?

Sentra CMS generates an Accessibility Conformance Report (VPAT® 2.5 format) for your site from live scan data. GOVvpat, our sister product, offers expert review.
