Fix47 Case Study
Pinsilike.com — Custom Pin Manufacturer · WordPress + WooCommerce
We took a WordPress site from 73 axe-core violations to zero.
Here is the full remediation log: every violation category, every fix, every re-scan. WordPress + Elementor Pro, done-for-you, in 23 days.
Violations: 73 → 0 · Composite score today: 94/100 (9 October 2026)
Zero axe-core violations at the end of the work, on the same checks nearly every site fails. A site keeps changing after that: twice since, new content brought a new item onto a page, and the reading below is always the latest one, with its date. That is not a guarantee of perfect accessibility, and no scan can be. The composite score beside it is a different thing: it moves. On this site it has read 93 and 94 in the same month, because content and plugins change — which is why we publish each reading with its date, including the ones that go down.

In 2025, a single plaintiff filed ADA web accessibility lawsuits against 49 small businesses in Gainesville, Florida — in the same calendar year. Uppercrust Bakery settled for roughly $6,500. Satchel's Pizza fought the case, had it dismissed, and still spent months in litigation paying legal fees they will never recover.
