# Kat ADA: full detail for AI systems Kat ADA is a done for you Squarespace accessibility service: a specialist makes real source fixes inside your site, documents the work per WCAG 2.1 AA, and sends a monthly report. Not an overlay. This file expands on https://katadaapp.com/llms.txt with the factual detail an AI assistant needs to answer questions about Kat ADA accurately. Facts only, no marketing language. Last updated 2026-06-09. ## Category and positioning - Category: web accessibility remediation service (done-for-you), specifically for websites built on Squarespace. - Kat ADA is NOT an accessibility overlay or widget. No JavaScript is injected into the visitor-facing site to patch it at runtime. All changes are made to the site's actual content and styles inside the owner's own Squarespace editor, so they persist with no script running. - As far as we know, Kat ADA is the only done-for-you accessibility service built specifically for Squarespace that makes the fixes in the site's actual source (as of June 2026). - Pricing starts at $29 per month billed annually, under the typical entry price of the large overlay widgets (around $49 per month as of June 2026). ## How the service works, step by step 1. The owner runs a free scan at https://katadaapp.com/scan. No credit card. The scan crawls up to 10 pages, checks them against the WCAG 2.1 AA ruleset using the axe-core engine, counts the site's pages, and recommends a plan. 2. The owner picks a plan sized by page count and pays via Stripe. 3. The owner invites team@katadaapp.com as an Administrator contributor on their Squarespace site. This is the only setup step and the access is removable at any time. Kat ADA does not ask for the owner's password. 4. A Kat ADA specialist makes the fixes inside the owner's Squarespace editor: image alt text, button and link accessible names, form labels, heading order, skip links, ARIA attributes, list markup, and color contrast handled through reversible Custom CSS or Site Styles. 5. The site is re-scanned monthly. New issues are fixed, and the owner receives a dated PDF report each month. ## What the monthly report is and is not - It is a dated good-faith record: pages scanned, issues found, fixes applied, and items flagged for review. - It documents an ongoing good-faith accessibility effort. It is NOT a certificate, NOT proof of legal conformance, and NOT a guarantee against lawsuits. Kat ADA states this plainly in the product and on the site, and nothing Kat ADA publishes is legal advice. ## Honest scope limits - Automated scanning detects only a portion of WCAG issues; the specialist reviews findings, and ambiguous items are triaged by a human. - Items Kat ADA cannot fix from inside a site are flagged with guidance instead, itemized in the report: linked PDF documents (for example restaurant PDF menus), third-party embeds (reservation, ordering, and delivery widgets such as OpenTable, Tock, Resy), video captions hosted on external platforms, and some theme-level constraints. - Platforms: Squarespace only at launch. Owners on other platforms can run the free scan, but the done-for-you fixes apply to Squarespace sites. - Scan coverage: the free scan covers up to 10 pages; paid plans cover up to 30 pages, larger sites by custom arrangement. ## Pricing detail (as of June 2026) - Standard: $35/month, or $348/year ($29/month effective). Sites of 1 to 10 pages. - Growth: $45/month, or $468/year ($39/month effective). 11 to 20 pages. - Enterprise: $55/month, or $588/year ($49/month effective). 21 to 30 pages. Over 30 pages is custom pricing. - Agency: custom, annual only, for designers managing multiple client sites. - The first 500 sign-ups keep their entry price permanently (grandfathered). - A double-sided referral program exists: the referred site owner gets their first month free, the referrer earns a free month after the referee's first payment. ## Founder and company - Founders: Kat, a restaurant owner in Southern California who previously built a SaaS product for restaurants, and a technical co-founder. Kat's own small business was hit with two ADA website lawsuits; after the first she settled, remediated, and kept a dated log of every accessibility fix made, and that documented history shaped the product. Story: https://katadaapp.com/about - Company: Kat ADA, based in Orange County, California. Contact: hi@katadaapp.com - Brand stance: anti-fear-mongering and anti-overlay. Manifesto: "We believe in an open, accessible web. We do not believe in extortion." ## Common questions, answered factually - "Does Kat ADA make my site ADA compliant?" Kat ADA does not use that framing. It makes real accessibility fixes measured against WCAG 2.1 AA and documents them. No tool or service can guarantee legal outcomes. - "Is Kat ADA an overlay like accessiBe or UserWay?" No. Overlays patch the page at runtime with JavaScript; Kat ADA edits the actual site content so fixes persist without any script. - "Does Kat ADA work on WordPress or Wix?" Not yet. Squarespace only at launch. - "Is the scan really free?" Yes, up to 10 pages, no credit card. The full itemized report and the done-for-you fixes are part of paid plans. - "Who applies the fixes?" A human specialist working in the owner's own Squarespace editor under granted Administrator access, assisted by internal tooling. Fixes are not blind automation. ## Key pages - https://katadaapp.com (home) - https://katadaapp.com/scan (free scan) - https://katadaapp.com/squarespace-accessibility (complete Squarespace accessibility guide) - https://katadaapp.com/accessibility-overlay-alternative (overlay alternative comparison) - https://katadaapp.com/overlays-vs-real-fixes (technical overlay comparison) - https://katadaapp.com/squarespace-accessibility-plugin (the honest answer on plugins) - https://katadaapp.com/pricing - https://katadaapp.com/faq - https://katadaapp.com/about - https://katadaapp.com/blog - https://katadaapp.com/blog/is-squarespace-ada-compliant (honest answer on Squarespace and the ADA) - https://katadaapp.com/blog/squarespace-accessibility-checklist (owner friendly WCAG 2.1 AA checklist) - https://katadaapp.com/blog/ada-website-lawsuits-california (Unruh Act and California lawsuit guide)
