Why Accessibility Matters for Your Business
Over 1.3 billion people worldwide live with some form of disability. That is roughly 16% of the global population — and a market with an estimated $13 trillion in annual disposable income. When your website or application is not accessible, you are excluding a significant portion of potential customers before they ever interact with your product.
Accessibility is also a legal requirement. In the United States, ADA-related website lawsuits continue to grow year over year, with non-compliance fines ranging from $55,000 to $75,000. The European Accessibility Act (EAA), now in effect across the EU, mandates that digital products and services meet accessibility standards. Starting April 2026, US state and local government websites must conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA under the updated Title II of the ADA. The regulatory pressure is not slowing down — it is accelerating.
Beyond compliance, accessible design is simply better design. Proper heading structures, keyboard navigation, and semantic markup improve the experience for all users, not just those with disabilities. Accessible websites tend to load faster, rank higher in search engines, and convert better. Companies that invest in accessibility report improvements in customer satisfaction, brand reputation, and retention.
The most cost-effective approach is to build accessibility into your product from the start. Retrofitting an existing application to meet WCAG standards typically costs three to five times more than incorporating accessibility during initial development. Whether you need to fix what you have or build something new, Alpina Tech has the expertise to get it done right.
Our Accessibility Services
Accessibility Audit & Testing
We evaluate your website, web application, or mobile app against WCAG 2.2 AA standards using a combination of automated scanning and manual expert testing. Our auditors test with screen readers (NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver), verify keyboard navigation, check color contrast ratios, and validate form interactions. You receive a detailed report with every issue categorized by severity, along with specific code-level recommendations your team can act on immediately.
Accessibility Remediation
Already have an audit report or know your product has accessibility gaps? We work directly in your codebase to fix issues at the source. Our developers handle semantic HTML corrections, ARIA attribute implementation, focus management, color contrast adjustments, alt text for images, video captions, and form accessibility improvements. We prioritize fixes based on user impact, so the most critical barriers are removed first.
Accessible Web & App Development
When you are building a new product, accessibility should be part of the foundation — not an afterthought. We design and develop websites and applications with WCAG compliance built into every component. This includes accessible design systems, keyboard-navigable interfaces, screen reader-compatible content structures, and responsive layouts that maintain accessibility across all devices and viewports.
VPAT & Compliance Documentation
If you sell software to enterprises or government agencies, you need a Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) and an Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR). These documents demonstrate your product’s compliance status and are often required during procurement. We prepare thorough, accurate VPATs based on our audit findings — documentation your sales team can confidently share with prospects.
Ongoing Monitoring & Support
Accessibility is not a one-time project. Every content update, new feature, or design change can introduce new barriers. We integrate automated accessibility checks into your CI/CD pipeline and provide continuous monitoring to catch regressions before they reach production. Regular re-audits after major releases ensure your product stays compliant as it evolves.
Team Training
The most sustainable way to maintain accessibility is to build the knowledge into your own team. We run practical workshops for developers, designers, and content editors covering WCAG guidelines, accessible coding patterns, assistive technology testing, and common pitfalls. Your team walks away with the skills to build and maintain accessible products independently.
Standards We Work With
- WCAG 2.1 / 2.2 Level AA — The global standard for web content accessibility
- ADA — Americans with Disabilities Act, Title II and Title III
- Section 508 — US federal accessibility requirements for government technology
- EAA — European Accessibility Act, effective across all EU member states
- EN 301 549 — European standard for ICT accessibility, aligned with WCAG
How We Work
1. Audit & Assessment
We start by understanding the current state of your product. Our team runs automated scans using axe-core and Lighthouse, then performs in-depth manual testing with assistive technologies across desktop and mobile environments. The result is a prioritized list of accessibility issues mapped to specific WCAG success criteria.
2. Remediation Plan
Based on the audit, we create a clear roadmap. Issues are grouped by severity — critical, high, and medium — with estimated effort for each fix. You get a realistic timeline and a plan your development team (or ours) can execute against without guesswork.
3. Implementation
We fix issues directly in your codebase or build new accessible components from the ground up. This includes HTML structure corrections, ARIA implementation, focus and tab order management, contrast and typography adjustments, and content updates like alt text and captions. Every fix is tested against the original audit criteria.
4. Validation & Documentation
After implementation, we run a full re-audit to verify all issues are resolved. We then prepare compliance documentation — VPAT/ACR reports, an accessibility statement for your website, and a handoff package for your team. If needed, we train your developers and content editors to maintain compliance going forward.

Industries We Serve
SaaS & Software Products
Enterprise buyers increasingly require VPATs as part of procurement. An accessible product opens doors to larger contracts and positions accessibility as a competitive differentiator in crowded markets.
E-commerce
Online retailers face a growing number of ADA lawsuits each year. Accessible storefronts not only reduce legal risk but also convert better — when more people can use your checkout, more people buy.
Healthcare
Patient portals, telehealth platforms, and health information websites must meet Section 508 and HIPAA requirements. Accessible healthcare technology ensures that patients with disabilities receive equal access to critical services.
Education & EdTech
Learning platforms must be usable by students with visual, auditory, motor, and cognitive disabilities. Section 504 compliance and institutional procurement requirements make accessibility essential for any EdTech product.
Government & Public Sector
Federal agencies must comply with Section 508. State and local governments face the April 2026 ADA Title II deadline for WCAG 2.1 AA conformance. Non-compliance is not an option — it is a mandate.
Finance & Banking
Banking apps, investment platforms, and insurance portals serve diverse populations. EAA compliance in Europe and ADA requirements in the US mean financial services must ensure every customer can access their accounts and complete transactions independently.
Accessibility by the Numbers
1.3B people worldwide live with disabilities
$13T annual disposable income of people with disabilities globally
$55K–$75K fines for ADA non-compliance per violation
4,600+ ADA website lawsuits filed in the US in 2023
April 2026 ADA Title II deadline for WCAG 2.1 AA — US public entities
