What Our Website Accessibility Consulting Services Include
Our digital accessibility services cover the audit, remediation and release checks needed to work toward WCAG 2.2 AA. We explain the level we are targeting before the work starts.
(06)
•WCAG 2.2 AA conformance audit
A template-by-template assessment against the success criteria, run as an automated pass plus manual testing, because scanning reaches only part of it.
•Assistive technology testing
Our accessibility testing services run your site through the screen readers people actually browse with, including NVDA, VoiceOver and JAWS, so findings describe the tasks visitors could not finish.
•Remediation in your codebase
Our accessibility remediation services fix contrast, alt text, form labels, focus and keyboard traps in your code, not in a report.
•Accessible component retrofit
Focus states, target sizes and screen reader announcements go into the component, so every page using it inherits the fix.
•VPAT and ACR authoring
We complete the Voluntary Product Accessibility Template your buyers ask for, written against what was tested.
•Overlay removal and native fixes
We take the widget off and repair the markup underneath, so you stop paying to cover problems that remain.
•Accessibility risks
Where websites fail WCAG most often
These are the six problems that bring people to us.
Diagnose my site •01
A demand letter arrived
The letter names specific pages and specific barriers, and it was written from an automated scan. We audit against the success criteria, identify the shared patterns and fix the highest-risk issues first.
02
You are relying on an overlay widget
A widget sits in the corner and everyone assumes accessibility is handled. Overlays change the rendered page, not the code underneath, and often interfere with the screen readers they claim to help. The scores show how little changes: 53.9% of websites with an accessibility overlay still score below 90, the passing line on Google's accessibility test, against 60.7% of websites without one (Overlay Scores study). We take it off and fix what is beneath.
03
People get stuck without a mouse
Someone tabs into a pop-up, a carousel or a custom dropdown and cannot get out again without a mouse. The component styled focus without ever managing it. We test every interactive component by keyboard.
04
Your forms say nothing to a screen reader
The form works with a mouse and announces nothing useful to a screen reader, because the visible label was never connected to its field. Error messages appear in red and stay silent. Forms are where inquiries come from, so we fix the label and the error announcement together.
05
Brand colors fail the contrast ratio
The palette was chosen on a good screen, and several combinations fall short of the AA contrast ratio. One failing color breaks every component that uses it, so we fix the palette itself rather than page by page.
06
Third-party widgets and old PDFs
The site itself passes and the booking widget, chat window or PDF archive does not. A web accessibility consultant should define what sits inside the audit before it starts, so the review covers the places visitors actually use.
•Accessibility process
Our Website Accessibility Consulting Process
(06)
Phase 01
1 week
Automated scan and manual sample
A full automated pass gives the machine-detectable baseline. Then we go through representative templates by hand, covering what tooling cannot see: focus order, reading order, alt text quality and announced state. Treat the durations on these six steps as an estimate. The dates that count are the ones agreed in your proposal.
Phase 02
1 week
Assistive technology walkthrough
We walk your key journeys with screen readers and by keyboard alone. What comes back is a list of things a person could not do rather than rule numbers, so anyone can prioritize it.
Phase 03
3 days
Severity triage by success criterion
We map every finding to the criterion it breaches, then score how many templates share the pattern and how completely it stops a task. The output is a sequence engineering can schedule.
Phase 04
1 week
Fix plan and implementation
Every accepted fix names the template, the markup change, the criterion it satisfies and how to test it. Website accessibility remediation only counts once the issue becomes a working change on the site.
Phase 05
2 weeks
Fix verification round
Once fixes are live, we test the affected task again with assistive technology. Regressions that arrived alongside the fixes get caught here too.
Phase 06
Ongoing
Conformance statement and monitoring
You get an accessibility statement and, where procurement needs one, a VPAT or ACR written against what we assessed. After that, automated checks run on each deploy.
•The demand you capture
Most of this demand arrives with a deadline attached.
Most teams look for a website accessibility consultant because there is a deadline attached: a demand letter, a procurement questionnaire or a launch date. Some search for ADA compliant website design and some for a WCAG audit, and both mean the same request: tell me what is broken.
•
The standard and the statute kept separate
•
The three conformance levels, and which one to target
•
A report that matches what was actually tested
•An asset, not a rental
An overlay is a subscription. Fixing the site itself is not.
A widget bills every month and leaves the barriers where they are, so the cost recurs and nothing underneath changes. Fixes made in your codebase are permanent, and they make the next component cheaper to build correctly.
•
Contrast fixed in the palette, not component by component
•
Focus and keyboard behavior specified once, not patched per page
•
Automated checks on deploy, so regressions surface the same week
•Accessibility deliverables
Website Accessibility Consulting Deliverables
What our accessibility audit services hand over: the audit and the fixes, then the documentation and monitoring.
Month One
Audit and fixes
✓The audit report — A template-by-template WCAG 2.2 AA assessment, with a severity and the failing criterion on every finding.
✓Fixes in your codebase — Accepted findings fixed where they live, not a report waiting for a developer.
✓Rebuilt components — Components rebuilt so a screen reader announces them correctly and they work by keyboard alone, and every page inherits the fix.
✓A palette that passes — An adjusted palette that meets AA contrast ratios and still looks like your brand.
Months 2-3
Documentation and monitoring
✓The VPAT or ACR — The completed report in the format procurement teams expect, marking every criterion as supported, partially supported or not supported, against the pages we actually assessed.
✓Accessibility statement — A public page saying where the site stands and what has been assessed.
✓Checks on every deploy — Scanning wired into your pipeline, so a regression shows up the week it ships.
✓A workshop for your team — Training for designers, developers and content editors, because the cheapest barrier is one never built.

•Frequently asked questions
Common Questions
WCAG and the ADA are different kinds of thing. WCAG is a W3C technical standard with testable success criteria at levels A, AA and AAA. The ADA is a United States civil rights statute and sets no web criteria of its own. You conform to WCAG; you comply with the ADA.
