Our Editorial Standards

How we research, write, and maintain the content on this site — and what you can and cannot rely on us for.

Our Purpose

Losadi Lasono exists to give small business owners in the United States a clear, honest starting point for understanding ADA web accessibility requirements. The topic is genuinely complicated — it sits at the intersection of disability law, web technology, and evolving court interpretation. Most of the resources available are either too technical for non-developers or written by vendors with a product to sell.

We have no product to sell. We don't offer legal services. We don't provide remediation. Our only interest is in presenting accurate, useful information in language that a business owner can actually use.

How We Select and Verify Information

Content on this site draws from a defined set of source categories:

Primary Legal Sources

The text of the Americans with Disabilities Act, published DOJ guidance documents, and the W3C's official WCAG documentation. These are the authoritative sources for what the law and technical standards actually say.

Court Records and Legal Journalism

Case summaries and outcomes drawn from publicly available court documents and reporting by established legal publications. We describe what courts have said — we don't predict what they will say in future cases.

Accessibility Research Organizations

WebAIM's annual accessibility reports, research from the Paciello Group, and publications from academic accessibility researchers. When we cite findings, we describe them qualitatively rather than presenting specific numbers as definitive.

Disability Community Feedback

Documented feedback from disability advocacy organizations about specific tools and practices — particularly regarding overlay widgets. We treat this as meaningful evidence of real-world impact.

What This Site Is Not

Not Legal Advice

Nothing on this site constitutes legal advice. We describe what laws say and what courts have decided — we don't advise you on how those facts apply to your specific business. For that, you need a qualified attorney.

Not a Compliance Certification

Reading this site or following its guidance does not certify your website as ADA compliant. Compliance is a legal determination that depends on your specific site, your jurisdiction, and factors we cannot evaluate remotely.

Not a Remediation Service

We explain how to fix common issues, but we don't fix them for you. We have no financial relationship with any accessibility tool, plugin, overlay product, or remediation vendor.

Not a Substitute for Professional Review

For businesses facing legal action or operating in high-risk contexts, professional accessibility auditing and legal counsel are appropriate. This site is a starting point, not a complete solution.

How We Handle Updates

Web accessibility law and technical standards change. The DOJ may issue new guidance. Courts may resolve circuit splits. The W3C publishes updated versions of WCAG. We review content periodically and update pages when the underlying facts change.

We note the context of legal cases by the jurisdiction and year of decision. Legal outcomes in one circuit do not automatically apply in another. We try to make these distinctions clear rather than presenting any single case as a universal rule.

Our Approach to Plain Language

Technical accessibility documentation uses terms like "programmatic name," "semantic markup," and "ARIA landmark regions." These terms are precise and useful for developers. They're opaque to most business owners.

We translate where we can. When a technical term is unavoidable, we define it in context. We don't use plain language as an excuse for imprecision — we aim for content that is both accurate and readable. When the two goals conflict, we err toward accuracy and explain the nuance rather than simplifying to the point of being misleading.
