WCAG 2.1 AA compliance audits, remediation, and ongoing monitoring. Protect your business from ADA exposure, reach more customers, and build sites that actually work for everyone.
WCAG 2.1 AA audits, remediation, and monitoring. Your site becomes usable by everyone, protected from ADA exposure, and better ranked on Google.
One in four Americans. An inaccessible site turns away a quarter of your potential audience before they read a single word.
Federal courts have consistently ruled that business websites are "places of public accommodation." Inaccessible sites have triggered lawsuits against businesses of all sizes.
Alt text, semantic HTML, and logical heading structure overlap almost entirely with Google's on-page SEO best practices. A more accessible site is a better-ranking site.
WCAG 2.1 defines three levels of conformance. Most legal requirements and industry standards reference Level AA.
The floor. Non-negotiable criteria that, if missing, make a site unusable for some users. Every site should pass Level A.
The standard we target for all client work. Required by most accessibility laws and regulations worldwide, including ADA enforcement guidance.
The highest level, aspirational for most sites. Some criteria are content-specific and not achievable for all page types.
Automated scanners catch about 30% of real issues. The rest require a developer who understands both accessibility and code.
Every link, button, and form element reachable and operable without a mouse. Tab order is logical and matches visual layout.
All text meets WCAG AA contrast ratios: 4.5:1 for normal text, 3:1 for large text. We test against all backgrounds, including gradients.
Every meaningful image has a descriptive alt attribute. Decorative images are properly hidden from screen readers with empty alt and aria-hidden.
All inputs have associated labels. Error messages are clear, specific, and don't rely on color alone. Required fields are explicitly marked.
Visible focus styles maintained throughout. No CSS that removes the browser's default outline without providing a better replacement.
A single H1 per page, logical H2–H6 hierarchy. Headings communicate structure, not just size. Screen readers use them as navigation landmarks.
Native HTML semantics used first. ARIA attributes added only where native elements fall short, with roles, states, and properties applied correctly.
Content remains readable and usable at 200% zoom without horizontal scrolling. Text resizes without loss of content or functionality.
Automated scan plus manual review by a developer. Automated tools catch roughly 30% of issues; the rest require human judgment. We do both.
A prioritized list of issues by severity (critical, serious, moderate) with specific fix instructions for each one. Not a generic checklist.
We fix the issues in code, not just flag them. Every change tested across screen readers (NVDA, VoiceOver) and keyboard-only navigation.
Re-test after remediation and document conformance. Ongoing monitoring available as part of a Care Plan so new content doesn't re-introduce issues.
Accessibility isn't a post-launch audit for the sites we build; it's a development standard. Semantic HTML, proper contrast, keyboard navigation, and screen reader compatibility are part of our build checklist on every project.
The audit and remediation service is for existing sites built by others, or for clients who need a third-party conformance report for legal or procurement purposes.
