ADA Compliance for Kajabi Websites
Kajabi sells courses, memberships and coaching, which means most of the product is media. ADA risk includes the website, and also the video lessons, downloads and checkout that customers pay for. A caption-free course video is a barrier a customer has already paid for.
This Kajabi ADA compliance checker runs the same engine as the Kajabi 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 Kajabi site.
Kajabi ADA Compliance Risks to Check First
These are the barriers most often behind accessibility complaints on Kajabi sites. Each one maps to a WCAG success criterion that the scan reports.
-
Video lessons without captions
Lesson, sales-page and webinar videos with no captions or transcripts.
-
Sales pages built from images
Headlines, bonuses and pricing set as pictures with no text alternative.
-
Opt-in and checkout forms
Email capture and order forms with placeholders and unclear errors.
-
Low contrast in marketing sections
Colored buttons and fine print that fail contrast.
How the ADA Applies to Your Kajabi 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.

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.
Kajabi ADA Compliance Steps
- Run the ADA check above on your homepage, and then on a page of each type you publish.
- Upload captions for every lesson video, and review them for errors before publishing.
- Rebuild image-only sections of your sales page as real text.
- Test downloads such as workbooks with a PDF accessibility check before you attach them to a product.
- 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 Kajabi 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 Kajabi 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.
Free scan and 3-day free trial
- Free, with no account: every issue found on the page, ranked by severity, with the WCAG criteria each one fails.
- With the trial: the failing HTML, how to fix each issue, scans of up to 500 pages per domain, daily monitoring and a dated record of your fixes.
Publishing an Accessibility Statement on Kajabi
Publish a statement page and link it from your site footer and your member area, so students can ask for accessible materials. 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.
Kajabi ADA Compliance: Frequently Asked Questions
Do my Kajabi courses need to be accessible?
Courses sold to the public are part of your commercial website and services. Captions and transcripts also help every student.
Can AccessBell scan my course lessons?
It scans public pages. Member-only lessons need a login, so check videos and downloads yourself.
What should I fix first on Kajabi?
Captions on videos, text in place of image text on sales pages, and form labels. These affect both access and sales.
What standard does the Kajabi ADA compliance check use?
WCAG 2.1 Level AA, the technical standard the Department of Justice has adopted for state and local government websites and the one courts and settlements most often cite for businesses. The ADA itself does not name a technical standard for private business websites.
