There is no register of ADA compliant websites, and no authority that certifies one, so every example you find is somebody's own claim. That does not make examples useless: it makes the checking part of the exercise. This page is how to read an example, what a genuinely well-built site looks like under a keyboard, and why the sites with the loudest compliance claims are often the weakest. On the worked example a site with 401 open issues could publish a badge today.
Read the claim, then test it
A site claiming compliance should have a statement with a date, a scope, known issues and a contact. If it has a badge and no statement, the claim is decoration. Tab through the home page and the main form: two minutes settles it, and the result is more instructive than any case study.
What the good examples have in common
Structure you can navigate by heading, a visible focus indicator, forms with real labels, and a statement that admits to something. The last is the strongest signal: a business that publishes ten open issues and a review date is running a programme, and a programme is what compliance actually is.
What to take back to your own site
Not the badge. Take the focus style, the form patterns and the statement's structure, and put your own numbers in: on the worked example, 401 issues, 167 hours and $15,872 is the distance between where the site is and the example you were admiring.
Questions people ask about ada compliance website examples
Can we say our site is ADA compliant?
Say what is true: which standard and level you aim at, the date you last audited, and what is outstanding. That is a stronger claim than compliant because it can be checked.
Do compliant sites look different?
No. Accessible design is mostly invisible: contrast, focus, structure and labels.
Is a VPAT the same as an example?
No, a VPAT is a conformance report about a product, usually for a buyer rather than for the public.
