"Blind Bear Creative (Now Mercury Media Partners) is exceedingly creative, professional, and a joy to work with! They are friendly, helpful, and a one-stop shop for all of your graphic design and marketing needs."

Say It Ain't SEO

Digital Marketing Agency Verified Google Review

"At Say It Ain't SEO, our core focus is dominating organic search for our clients. But when it comes to mitigating legal liability and executing WCAG 2.1 AA compliant infrastructure, we do not mess around—we bring in Mercury Media Partners. They are the only digital architects we trust to handle ADA accessibility audits and code rebuilds for our portfolio. Madeline and her team build legally impenetrable, lightning-fast sites that actually enhance our SEO campaigns rather than weighing them down. If you want true digital sovereignty and zero lawsuit risk, Mercury is the absolute gold standard."

Jason Banks

Atlanta Commercial Real Estate Verified Google Review

"Our firm manages several commercial properties in Atlanta and Smyrna, and my GC recently flagged ADA website compliance as a major blind spot for us. I don't have time to mess around with cheap widget plugins that don't actually protect the business. We brought in Madeline and the team at Mercury Media Partners (we used them back when they were Blind Bear) to audit our risk. They found the holes in our code immediately and completely rebuilt our site in two weeks flat. It's fast, it works perfectly, and most importantly, the legal liability is handled. Zero BS process from start to finish. Highly recommend them."

Frequently Barked Questions

Clear answers about compliance and our process.

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 is the legal leash that requires businesses — including their websites — to provide equal access to people with disabilities. Courts have increasingly ruled that websites are "places of public accommodation" under the ADA. We make your site WCAG 2.1 AA compliant so no predatory law firm can take a bite out of your business.
ADA compliance isn't just about dodging lawsuits — though that's a big one. An accessible website ranks higher on Google, loads faster, and opens your doors to over 1 billion people worldwide living with disabilities. At Mercury Media, we bake accessibility into your marketing strategy so your site fetches more traffic, more trust, and more conversions.
Our pack sniffs out every accessibility issue using industry-standard tools like WAVE, axe, and Google Lighthouse — combined with manual testing by real humans using screen readers and keyboard navigation. We check color contrast, alt text, heading structure, form labels, and more. You'll get a detailed report card showing exactly what needs fixing, prioritized by legal risk level.
For most small business websites, a full compliance rebuild runs between $1,000–$5,000. Larger or more complex sites may run higher. Compare that to the average ADA lawsuit settlement of $10,000–$50,000 — plus mandatory legal fees and the cost of an emergency rebuild. Our Free Sniff Test is the cheapest insurance policy you'll ever find, and 5% of our profits go directly to training guide dogs through Guiding Eyes for the Blind.
About 1 in 6 people rely on keyboard navigation instead of a mouse — including people with motor disabilities, power users, and anyone with a broken trackpad. If your buttons, menus, and forms can't be reached with the Tab key, your site is both inaccessible and legally vulnerable. We test every interactive element to ensure users can navigate your site as smoothly as Mercury fetches a tennis ball.
WCAG requires a minimum contrast ratio of 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text. You also can't rely on color alone to convey information — think red error messages with no icon or text label. Our audits use tools like the WebAIM Contrast Checker to sniff out every instance where your palette doesn't meet the mark, so your site stays obedient and readable for visitors with low vision.
Absolutely. PDFs must be properly tagged with headings, reading order, and alt text so screen readers can parse them. Videos need accurate captions and transcripts. These are some of the most commonly overlooked items — and some of the easiest targets for lawsuit mills. We handle the full retrofit so your documents and media are as compliant as your website.
It's like a two-for-one treat. Semantic HTML, descriptive alt text, fast load times, and logical heading structure are all things Google rewards in its ranking algorithm — and they're also core WCAG requirements. When we make your site accessible, we're also training it to rank higher. Every client who's gone through our compliance rebuild has seen measurable improvements in organic search visibility.
Very real. ADA website lawsuits have risen significantly in recent years, with thousands of federal Title III cases filed annually. Many are triggered by automated accessibility scans that identify common failures — missing alt text, poor contrast, broken keyboard navigation — issues that also prevent real users from accessing your content. Mercury Media's proactive audits and compliant rebuilds help you serve more people and reduce legal exposure at the same time.
Because we're not just another agency trying to scare you into buying a website. We named our company after a guide dog because we believe the internet should be a professional standard navigable by everyone. But more importantly, we operate from a professional debt of gratitude: our namesake, Mercury, represented an $80,000 investment in accessibility provided by Guiding Eyes for the Blind. We donate 5% of our profits as a stewardship investment to ensure the next professional service team can be trained. When you work with us, you aren't just building a website—you are contributing to a cycle of stewardship that supports the infrastructure of accessibility for all. ♿️
