Meeting WCAG 2.1 Level AA is achievable. The most challenging aspect, especially for municipalities or small teams, is maintaining accessibility across dynamic content and third-party integrations. 

No-code accessibility tools (e.g., overlays, widgets, or plugins that claim to "make your site ADA compliant with one line of code") do not fully meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards on their own.

Where to start assessing what has to be remediated ,and do you have the tools necessary to pass an audit? Carnegie Municipal offers training for staff to keep your communications approach compliant.
