Help & how it works

The Browse page (under the Explore menu at the top) lists the 2010 ADA Standards rules by space type (for example, doors, ramps, or restrooms) and by impairment type (mobility, vision, hearing, and more). Each rule card shows a plain-language summary, the exact measurement it requires, and products or services that help meet it.

Enter a US ZIP code at the top of the page to add state, county, and city requirements for that location. When a local requirement is stricter than the federal baseline, it is shown alongside the federal rule so you can meet both at once.

Homes, apartment buildings, and temporary events are covered too. Pick the Home (residential) or Apartments & Multi-Family space type and the cards switch to Fair Housing Act design requirements — the federal standard for housing — with your state's housing code layered on top. There is also a dedicated space type for events and temporary venues, covering stage ramps, cable covers, seating, and quiet zones.

On the Audit page, pick the kind of space you are checking and enter the measurements you take on site. Each item immediately shows Pass or Fail against the federal baseline and any local rules for your ZIP code.

Your work saves automatically about a second and a half after you stop typing — look for "All changes saved." You can still press "Save audit" to save right away. Nothing is lost if you step away mid-audit.

Under each measurement there is a "readings recorded" link you can expand to see how that number has changed over time — useful for tracking a fix from first inspection through remediation.

The Search page finds rules by section number (like 404.2.3), by keyword ("grab bar", "clear width"), or by what the rule covers. Set a ZIP code first and the search includes your state and local requirements too.

The Retrofit checklist (in the Audit menu) turns selected rules into a to-do list. Each rule comes with step-by-step retrofit actions and the products that satisfy it, and your list saves to your account automatically.

It works together with your audits: measurement steps link straight to the matching audit item so you can jump from "measure the existing element" to the reading, and any audit item that fails can be added to the checklist with one tap. Ready-made starter lists for homeowners and event planners are in the Audit menu too.

The Shop page groups products and vendors by the kind of hardware they are — door hardware, ramps, signage, and so on — with filters for space, category, vendor, and purchase method, plus a search box. Switch to the spec table view to compare items in a table with columns for space, the requirements each meets, and price, with a details panel for each row.

If you have a retrofit checklist, sign in and tick "Only items for my checklist" to see just the products that satisfy the rules on your list. Items marked "Buy now" can be purchased directly; items marked "Request a quote" open a short form, and we connect you with the vendor by email. Many listings also include a "Compare on Amazon" link, and the vendor's business contact details appear right on the listing.

Are you a vendor? The "Want to become a vendor?" section at the bottom of the Shop page sends us your name, company, and a description of what you offer, and we follow up by email.

Sign in to save audits under "My audits" in the Audit menu. Each saved audit can be shared two ways: a read-only link you can send to anyone (vendors see the findings without needing your account), and a PDF download you can attach or print.

You can stop sharing a report at any time from "My audits" — the link stops working immediately.

Retrofit checklists can be shared the same way — from "My audits" you can copy a read-only checklist link or download its PDF, and stop sharing at any time.

Local state, county, and city requirements are added from official code sources and checked by accessibility specialists against the cited source document. Rules verified this way carry a source link and a last-verified date on their cards.

See something that looks off on a state, county, or city rule? Use the "Flag for specialist review" link on the card, tell us briefly what seems incorrect, and it goes straight to the specialist review queue. Federal rules are pre-checked and don't need flagging.

Every measurement and legal requirement here is general guidance, not legal advice. For projects with real consequences — permits, inspections, litigation — confirm with a licensed accessibility specialist or your local building department.

Exploring, searching, and shopping work without an account. Sign in to save audits and checklists, share reports, and download PDFs. Your saved work opens from "My audits" at the top of the Audit menu; the "Menu" button to the right of the top links shows your account details, any admin tools you have been assigned, and Sign out.

The EN/ES toggle at the far right of the top menu switches the whole site — including the rule text, audit results, and reports — between English and Spanish (Mexican). Your choice is remembered on this device.

If something on the site is hard to use — with a screen reader, keyboard, magnifier, or anything else — we want to hear about it. Email us directly at hello@inclusivepixel.com and we will get back to you.

Email is the best way to reach us for anything: questions about a rule or audit, account or sign-in trouble, orders and quote requests, vendor listings, or accessibility barriers on the site. Include the page you were on and, if it helps, your ZIP code.
