Common misconception
“My vendor already handles accessibility.
Why do I need A3S?”
It's the most common question we hear - and the most dangerous assumption a municipality can make. Decode each vendor claim below.

We've analysed the most common government CMS vendors
CivicPlus
CivicPlus relies on AudioEye - an overlay vendor. Hundreds of AudioEye customers have been sued. Real screenshots from live CivicPlus sites show broken layouts and garbled text.
Granicus
Granicus builds accessibility into code, not overlays - a solid start. But their own materials say no vendor can guarantee 100% compliance. Content responsibility is yours.
Drupal / Tyler Technologies
Drupal powers 8.3% of U.S. gov sites. Tyler Tech contracts include quarterly scans - but Colorado's HB24-1454 requires quarterly progress reports from YOU, not your vendor.
A3S fills the gap your vendor leaves behind.
Manual testing, monthly reports, official ACRs, and the legal documentation that the courts actually require - applied to your specific content, not just the platform underneath it.
