Make your product usable for everyone
We audit your product against WCAG accessibility standards, identifying real barriers and providing clear, actionable fixes so your product works for everyone.
Overview
Accessibility isn't a compliance checkbox to satisfy and forget, it directly determines whether real people, a meaningful percentage of any user base, can actually use your product at all. Automated scanning tools catch some accessibility issues reliably, but many of the most impactful barriers, confusing focus order, interactions that technically pass automated checks but remain genuinely difficult with a screen reader, require actual human evaluation to identify accurately.
We audit against WCAG standards using both automated scanning and genuine testing with real assistive technology, screen readers, keyboard-only navigation, evaluating not just technical compliance but actual usability for people relying on these tools. Every finding gets mapped to the specific WCAG success criteria it addresses and paired with concrete, actionable recommendations rather than a generic compliance checklist.
The result is a clear, prioritized remediation plan distinguishing critical barriers from lower-priority refinements, giving your team an actual executable roadmap rather than an overwhelming list of findings with no guidance on where to focus. Beyond meeting compliance requirements, this work tends to genuinely improve usability, SEO, and overall product quality for every user, not just those with disabilities.
What we do
A thorough, evidence-based path to a genuinely accessible, WCAG-compliant product.
Comprehensive Accessibility Audit
Automated accessibility scanning tools are genuinely useful but catch only a portion of real accessibility issues, since many of the most impactful problems, confusing focus order, unclear error messaging, interactions that technically pass automated checks but remain genuinely difficult to use with assistive technology, require actual human judgment to identify. We conduct comprehensive audits combining automated scanning across every relevant page with careful manual review specifically targeting the issues automated tools reliably miss. This combined approach is what produces an audit that genuinely reflects real accessibility rather than one that technically passes automated compliance checks while still leaving users with disabilities facing real, unaddressed barriers to actually using your product.
Assistive Technology Testing
Technical WCAG compliance and genuine usability with assistive technology aren't always the same thing, a page can pass every automated accessibility check while still being genuinely frustrating or confusing to navigate with a screen reader or keyboard alone. We test directly with screen readers, keyboard-only navigation, and other assistive technology, evaluating not just whether your product technically meets accessibility criteria but whether it actually works well for someone genuinely relying on these tools to use it. This distinction matters considerably, since the goal of accessibility work is real usability for people with disabilities, not merely satisfying an automated checklist that doesn't fully capture what genuine assistive technology usage actually requires.
Prioritized Remediation Plan
An accessibility audit that lists every issue with equal weight and no clear guidance on how to actually fix each one gives your team limited practical direction, especially when facing a long list of findings and needing to know where to focus first given limited development resources. We deliver a prioritized remediation plan, with each issue mapped to the specific WCAG success criteria it violates and paired with concrete, actionable design or code recommendations for resolving it, distinguishing critical barriers that block product usage entirely from lower-priority refinements. This prioritization is what turns an audit from an interesting but overwhelming compliance document into an actual, executable roadmap your team can work through systematically.
How we evaluate real usability, not just automated compliance
A process built around genuine usability with assistive technology, not just automated checklist compliance.
- 01
Automated Scanning Baseline
We run automated accessibility scanning across every relevant page and flow, establishing a baseline of technically identifiable issues before moving into the manual review that catches what automated tools reliably miss.
- 02
Manual Accessibility Review
We conduct manual review specifically targeting issues automated tools can't reliably evaluate, focus order, error message clarity, and interaction patterns that require genuine human judgment to assess accurately.
- 03
Assistive Technology Testing
We test directly using screen readers, keyboard-only navigation, and other assistive technology, evaluating genuine usability rather than just technical criteria compliance, since these can diverge meaningfully in practice.
- 04
WCAG Criteria Mapping
We map every identified issue to the specific WCAG success criteria it violates, ensuring the audit produces a technically grounded document rather than subjective observations without clear standards backing.
- 05
Severity-Based Prioritization
We prioritize findings by severity, distinguishing critical barriers that block product usage entirely from lower-priority refinements, giving your team clear guidance on where to focus limited remediation resources first.
- 06
Remediation Plan Delivery & Support
We deliver the remediation plan with concrete, actionable recommendations for each issue, and can support implementation directly or provide guidance detailed enough for your existing team to implement corrections confidently.
Accessibility testing tools we use
We use industry-standard accessibility testing and auditing tools.
Frequently Asked Questions
WCAG stands for Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, the internationally recognized standard defining specific, testable criteria for making digital products usable by people with visual, motor, auditory, or cognitive disabilities, and it's the standard most legal and industry compliance requirements ultimately reference.
A full accessibility audit typically takes 2 to 4 weeks depending on product size and complexity, since a thorough audit requires both automated scanning across every page and careful manual review of interactions automated tools genuinely can't evaluate accurately.
Yes, we test with actual screen readers, keyboard-only navigation, and other assistive technology, since automated scanning tools alone reliably catch only a portion of real accessibility issues, particularly ones involving genuine usability with assistive technology rather than just technical markup compliance.
We deliver a prioritized list of accessibility issues, each mapped to the specific WCAG success criteria it violates, along with concrete, actionable design and code recommendations for fixing it, rather than a generic compliance checklist without genuine guidance on remediation.
Yes, we design and audit specifically against WCAG 2.1 or 2.2 Level AA compliance, the level most commonly required by legal standards and industry expectations, going beyond the more basic Level A criteria without requiring the considerably more demanding Level AAA in most cases.
Yes, thoughtful accessibility work frequently improves usability, SEO, and overall user experience for every user, not just those with disabilities, since practices like clear heading structure, sufficient color contrast, and logical tab order genuinely benefit everyone interacting with your product.
Yes, we can conduct audits specifically scoped around legal compliance requirements relevant to your industry or jurisdiction, like ADA in the US or similar regulations elsewhere, ensuring the audit addresses the specific legal exposure your organization is genuinely concerned about.
Yes, we can support implementation of the recommended fixes directly, or provide detailed enough guidance that your existing development team can implement corrections confidently without needing significant additional accessibility expertise.
