Digital accessibility means ensuring that websites and online content can be used by people with disabilities, as required under federal law including the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
WBAG is a framework that helps websites achieve accessibility within modern website builders.
WBAG Certified means DAPEN.org takes full responsibility for your digital accessibility, covering all legal costs, settlements, and defense.
The Website Builder Accessibility Guidelines (WBAG) is an educational framework created by DAPEN.org to help designers and business owners follow accessibility principles inside popular platforms like Wix, Squarespace, and WordPress.
Across the country, small business owners are being targeted by law firms now using AI tools to identify websites that fail to meet ADA accessibility standards.
These real cases reveal how costly non-compliance can be—and why every business, regardless of size, must follow accessibility laws to avoid lawsuits and protect their reputation.

DAPEN.org stands for the Digital Accessibility Protection & Education Network — an organization that helps educate and protect small business owners regarding all aspects of digital accessibility. We combine education, certification, and legal protection to make web compliance simple, affordable, and worry-free for small business owners.
DAPEN.org helps small businesses in two ways: education and protection.
We educate business owners on what digital accessibility is and how it’s required by law, then provide tools and certifications to ensure their websites meet accessibility standards. Most importantly, we offer protection — if you’re WBAG Certified through DAPEN.org, we take on the legal responsibility for your website’s accessibility, giving you complete peace of mind.
WBAG stands for Website Builder Accessibility Guidelines. It’s DAPEN.org’s custom-built framework that breaks down complex WCAG accessibility standards into simple, step-by-step requirements for popular website builders like Wix, Squarespace, and WordPress. WBAG makes it easy for anyone — even non-developers — to create an accessible and compliant website.
Since accessibility laws are always changing and it’s nearly impossible for any website to be fully accessible, DAPEN.org created WBAG Certified — a protection-backed certification that keeps your business safe.
Being WBAG Certified means your website has been reviewed and approved by DAPEN.org under the Website Builder Accessibility Guidelines (WBAG). Once certified, DAPEN.org assumes full liability for your website’s digital accessibility.
If your business ever faces legal action related to accessibility, DAPEN.org is responsible for handling it — including attorney response, technical remediation, and full legal defense. All legal expenses, settlements, and lawsuit costs are covered by DAPEN.org, so you’ll never pay a dime out of pocket. WBAG Certification gives your business documented compliance, legal protection, and complete peace of mind knowing you’re fully defended.
