Modern Web Solutions
Protect Your Business. Build a Better Website.
Seamless & Compliant Web Remediation
Modern Web Solutions is a Niagara-based web design and digital services company dedicated to supporting local businesses with modern, accessible websites. Proudly founded by a Niagara native, our roots in the region provide us with a strong understanding of the unique needs and challenges facing small and mid-sized businesses in the area. We’re passionate about helping our community thrive in the digital space with sites that are not only simple and functional but also built to last.
How Do We Help?
Keeping your website accessible isn’t just about good design — it’s the law in Ontario. Under AODA (Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act), your business is required to ensure your online presence works for everyone, including people with visual, hearing, or motor impairments.
We make that easy. Whether you need a full redesign or just a few critical fixes, we handle everything in-house — from compliance updates to ongoing content management and even hosting. Here’s what we offer:
- Free AODA website scans
- Accessible design & layout improvements
- Fixing alt text, font contrast, and keyboard navigation
- Monthly maintenance & content updates
- Hosting, DNS & Google Business management
- Unlimited content additions on monthly plan
You shouldn’t have to worry about fines, frustrated users, or falling behind the law. Our job is to make your website compliant, effective, and stress-free — so you can focus on running your business, while we handle the rest.
What Do We Prevent
At Modern Web Solutions, we specialise in crafting clean, modern websites that not only don’t look good but also protect your business by ensuring compliance with accessibility regulations. In today’s digital world, having a beautiful website is no longer enough. Increasingly, governments are enforcing web accessibility standards to ensure that everyone, including individuals with disabilities, can navigate and interact with your site.
For businesses, this means failing to meet these standards can lead to heavy fines, lawsuits, or loss of public trust. That’s where we come in. We combine sleek, professional web design with built-in AODA and WCAG accessibility practices. So your site isn’t just compliant; it’s inclusive and user-friendly. We simplify the process and handle the technical details, allowing you to focus on your business. At the same time, we protect it behind the scenes. Whether you’re starting from scratch or updating an existing site, we ensure your digital presence works for everyone – and keeps you ahead of regulatory changes before they become legal or financial headaches. Our Services actively prevent:
- AODA fines (up to $100,000/day for corporations in Ontario)
- Human Rights complaints or lawsuits for digital discrimination
- Lost government contracts or funding due to non-compliant websites
- Bad press or public backlash for inaccessible content
- Exclusion of customers with disabilities, losing a large potential market
- Failed audits when working with public institutions or accessibility consultants
- Outdated design that makes your site confusing or frustrating to navigate
- Slow website load times that harm SEO and drive customers away
- Mobile usability issues that alienate smartphone users
- Overcomplicated designs that overwhelm users and reduce conversions
At Modern Web Solutions, we aim to empower small businesses with websites that are not only visually compelling but legally compliant, accessible, and easy to use. We believe that simplicity drives results — and compliance shouldn’t be complicated or costly. By partnering with us, you’re not just investing in a website; you’re investing in long-term protection, broader customer reach, and peace of mind. Let us take care of the technicalities so you can focus on what you do best — running your business

We Specialise In Simplicity
At Modern Web Solutions, we specialise in clean, minimalist designs that prioritise clarity and usability. In today’s digital age, where attention spans are short, and competition is high, simplicity isn’t just a design choice – it’s a business strategy. We focus on creating websites that are visually clean, easy to navigate, and purpose-driven so your visitors can find what they need without distraction. Whether you’re showcasing services, telling your story, or driving sales, a simple design makes your message louder and more effective.
Too often, businesses fall into the trap of overcomplicating their websites with cluttered layouts, excessive animations, or confusing navigation. While it may seem flashy, research indicates that it can negatively impact performance. A Google study found that users consistently rate simpler websites as more visually appealing than complex ones – and a poorly structured site can increase bounce rates by up to 90%. When your site is too busy or complicated to use, potential customers often leave before they have a chance to understand what you offer.
That’s where we come in. At Modern Web Solutions, we know how to strike the perfect balance between style and substance. Our design philosophy is rooted in intention: every element on your website serves a clear purpose. We don’t just make sites look good – we ensure they perform, convert, and accurately reflect your brand’s actual value. In a world full of noise, we help your business stand out with clarity.
FAQs
How do I know if my site is non-compliant?
Most business owners don’t realize their website has issues until someone files a complaint. We use professional-grade accessibility tools to scan your site and identify where it fails to meet AODA standards. You’ll get a simple, visual report showing exactly what needs attention.
Do I need to redesign my whole website?
Not necessarily. In many cases, we can improve accessibility with targeted fixes; like updating colors, text structure, and navigation features. If your site is outdated or built with non-compliant tools, a redesign might be the most cost-effective option.
Do you offer monthly plans?
Yes, and they’re designed for peace of mind. Our monthly package includes security maintenance, unlimited content updates, hosting, and AODA compliance monitoring. You’ll never have to worry about falling behind again.
What happens if I ignore AODA compliance?
You could be at risk for fines up to $100,000, or face legal action from a visitor who couldn’t properly use your website. Beyond that, an inaccessible website means turning away potential customers without even knowing it. Taking action now protects your business, brand, and reputation.
