HubSpot CMS ADA Compliance Checker

ADA Compliance for HubSpot CMS Websites

HubSpot CMS sites are owned by marketing teams, who publish landing pages quickly and in volume. ADA exposure scales with the number of pages, forms and campaigns, and a fast-moving campaign calendar leaves little time for review.

This HubSpot CMS ADA compliance checker runs the same engine as the HubSpot CMS accessibility checker with the ADA preset selected, so the results are measured against WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Paste a page address above to see the issues on your own HubSpot CMS site.

HubSpot CMS ADA Compliance Risks to Check First

These are the barriers most often behind accessibility complaints on HubSpot CMS sites. Each one maps to a WCAG success criterion that the scan reports.

• HubSpot forms with hidden labels

  Forms restyled to show placeholders only, repeated across many landing pages.

  WCAG 3.3.2 Labels or Instructions

• Identical CTA buttons

  Many “Learn more” and “Get started” buttons on one page with no distinguishing text.

  WCAG 2.4.4 Link Purpose (In Context)

• Popups and slide-ins

  Pop-up forms and banners that open without moving focus.

  WCAG 2.4.7 Focus Visible

• Chat and meetings embeds

  Embedded widgets with missing names, titles and focus handling.

  WCAG 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value

How the ADA Applies to Your HubSpot CMS Site

Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act requires businesses open to the public to give people with disabilities equal access to their goods and services. The Department of Justice states that this covers a business's web content as well as its physical locations ({ADA.gov web guidance (opens in a new tab)}). The law does not name a technical standard for private websites, so courts, settlements and demand letters tend to point to WCAG 2.1 Level AA, which is why this checker uses it.

• 3,117 website accessibility lawsuits filed in U.S. federal court in 2025, up 27% from 2024 Seyfarth Shaw, ADA Title III blog (opens in a new tab)
• 5,000+ digital accessibility lawsuits filed across federal and state courts in 2025 UsableNet 2025 year-end report (opens in a new tab)
• 1,427 of those 2025 lawsuits were against companies that had already been sued UsableNet 2025 year-end report (opens in a new tab)
• 64% of companies sued in the first half of 2025 had annual revenue under $25 million UsableNet 2025 midyear report (opens in a new tab)

None of this depends on which platform you use: a claim names the barrier on the page, not the software behind it. Read more in our ADA website compliance guide and the general ADA compliance checker.

HubSpot CMS ADA Compliance Steps

1. Run the ADA check above on your homepage, and then on a page of each type you publish.
2. Fix the form template once, so every landing page that embeds the form is corrected.
3. Add an accessibility check to your campaign launch list: scan the page before you send traffic.
4. Review the chat bubble, meetings link and cookie banner, which load on many pages at once.
5. Rescan to confirm each fix, and keep dated records. AccessBell Pro monitors up to 500 URLs per domain every day and emails you when something new fails.

What an Automated HubSpot CMS ADA Check Can and Cannot Do

Automated testing finds a large share of the machine-detectable WCAG failures, such as missing alt text, unlabeled fields, low contrast and broken ARIA. It cannot judge whether alt text is accurate, whether a keyboard path makes sense or whether a screen reader user can complete a purchase. Test your key journeys by hand as well, and read our methodology for exactly what runs.

No tool, including this one, can certify that a HubSpot CMS site is ADA compliant or protect you from a claim. Treat a scan as evidence of ongoing effort, and speak to a lawyer if you receive a demand letter.

Publishing an Accessibility Statement on HubSpot CMS

Publish a statement page in HubSpot and link it from the global footer module so it appears on every page. Our free accessibility statement generator writes the text, and it should name the standard you follow, any known gaps and a way to contact you.
