Our Process
A proven methodology for delivering Web Accessibility (ADA/WCAG) that drives real results.
Automated & Manual Audit
We scan your site with automated tools and conduct expert manual testing with screen readers, keyboard navigation, and assistive technologies to identify every accessibility barrier.
Issue Prioritization
We categorize findings by WCAG criteria, severity level, and user impact - creating a prioritized remediation plan that addresses critical issues first.
Remediation
Our developers fix accessibility issues across your codebase - semantic HTML, ARIA attributes, keyboard navigation, color contrast, focus management, and form labeling.
Assistive Technology Testing
We retest all remediated pages using screen readers (NVDA, VoiceOver, JAWS), keyboard-only navigation, and voice control to verify issues are truly resolved.
Documentation & Training
We deliver compliance documentation, VPAT/ACR reports, and train your development team on accessibility best practices to prevent regression.
Ongoing Monitoring
Continuous automated monitoring catches new accessibility issues as content and features are added, with quarterly manual audits to maintain compliance.

Discuss Your ProjectCommon Questions
Answers to the questions we hear most often about web accessibility (ada/wcag).
WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) is the international standard for web accessibility. We recommend WCAG 2.1 AA compliance as the baseline, which covers the requirements referenced by ADA and most accessibility laws. WCAG 2.2 adds additional criteria we also address for future-proofing your compliance.
In most cases, yes. The ADA in the US, the European Accessibility Act in the EU, and similar laws worldwide require digital accessibility. ADA-related web accessibility lawsuits have increased dramatically, making compliance both a legal obligation and a risk mitigation priority.
A comprehensive audit of a typical website (20-50 pages) takes 2-3 weeks. Larger sites or complex web applications take 3-5 weeks. The audit includes both automated scanning and expert manual testing with assistive technologies.
Yes. We handle end-to-end remediation - from code-level fixes like semantic HTML and ARIA attributes to design adjustments for color contrast and focus indicators. We retest everything after remediation to verify compliance.
A VPAT (Voluntary Product Accessibility Template) or ACR (Accessibility Conformance Report) documents your product's accessibility compliance level. Enterprise and government buyers often require them during procurement. We create detailed VPATs that document conformance against WCAG 2.1 AA criteria.
Screen readers convert on-screen content to speech or braille output for visually impaired users. They rely on proper HTML semantics, ARIA attributes, alt text, heading structure, and keyboard accessibility to navigate and understand your content. Our remediation ensures your site works seamlessly with NVDA, VoiceOver, and JAWS.
Accessibility audits typically cost $3,000-$10,000 depending on site size and complexity. Full remediation ranges from $5,000-$30,000+ based on the number and severity of issues found. Ongoing monitoring and maintenance starts at $1,000 per month. The cost is far less than the legal and reputational risk of non-compliance.
Yes, significantly. Many accessibility improvements - proper heading structure, descriptive alt text, semantic HTML, fast page loads, mobile responsiveness, and clear navigation - are also SEO ranking factors. Accessible websites consistently perform better in search results because search engines and screen readers parse content similarly.
