ACCESSIBILITY SERVICES

Find the barriers automated scans miss.

Manual WCAG audits for websites and web applications, combining automation, keyboard testing, screen readers, zoom and reflow, with developer-ready findings that can flow straight into remediation.

The problem this solves

You need to know which barriers exist, which users they affect, how serious they are, and what should change in the product. A scan can support that work, but the audit is the human evaluation of behavior, meaning, interaction and recovery.

Who needs this

  • Product teams preparing a launch or redesign

    Scope, evidence and recommendations are adapted to this context.

  • SaaS companies answering procurement questions

    Scope, evidence and recommendations are adapted to this context.

  • Teams that ran automated scans and need manual validation

    Scope, evidence and recommendations are adapted to this context.

  • Organizations planning remediation or an ACR

    Scope, evidence and recommendations are adapted to this context.

What we evaluate

  • Scope definition and representative sampling

    Tested with native semantics, keyboard behavior, responsive states and assistive technology where appropriate.

  • Automated analysis with manual review

    Tested with native semantics, keyboard behavior, responsive states and assistive technology where appropriate.

  • Keyboard operation and focus order

    Tested with native semantics, keyboard behavior, responsive states and assistive technology where appropriate.

  • Screen reader behavior and announcements

    Tested with native semantics, keyboard behavior, responsive states and assistive technology where appropriate.

  • Zoom, reflow, text spacing and responsive behavior

    Tested with native semantics, keyboard behavior, responsive states and assistive technology where appropriate.

  • Forms, errors, semantics, ARIA and dynamic content

    Tested with native semantics, keyboard behavior, responsive states and assistive technology where appropriate.

Technical examples

  • Focus order through dialogs, menus and route changes

    Findings include evidence, impact, fix guidance and verification steps.

  • Accessible names for controls whose visible label changes by state

    Findings include evidence, impact, fix guidance and verification steps.

  • Status messages after filtering, saving or validation

    Findings include evidence, impact, fix guidance and verification steps.

  • Text alternatives that match the purpose of images and icons

    Findings include evidence, impact, fix guidance and verification steps.

FAQ

Is this only automated testing?

No. Automated tools are used because they are fast and repeatable, but the audit centers on manual operation, assistive technology testing and technical review.

Do you only audit, or can you fix the issues too?

Both. You can take the audit as documented, prioritized remediation guidance, or add remediation so we implement or support the code-level fixes within the agreed scope and retest the result where technically possible.

Which WCAG version do you test against?

WCAG 2.2 Level AA is the default target unless a contract or policy requires another version.

Can this feed a VPAT or ACR?

Yes, if that is scoped before testing so the work covers the criteria and documentation needed for the report.

Audit, fix, verify.
