Why overlays are not a substitute for real fixes

Many businesses install an accessibility overlay hoping it will make their website usable for everyone. In practice, overlays often fail to fix root causes: missing labels, poor contrast, broken keyboard paths, and unclear page structure still live in the source.

PlainFix takes the opposite approach. We scan a page with axe-core, then turn findings into plain-English explanations and concrete code-level fixes a human can apply. That work takes effort, but it is the kind of remediation that actually improves the site.

If you build or own a small business website, start with a real issue list and fix the highest-severity problems first. That is more honest - and more useful - than a badge that claims the site is already fixed.
