Web Accessibility & ADA Compliance Services
Web accessibility is the practice of building sites and apps that people with disabilities can actually use — with a screen reader, keyboard only, voice control, or magnification. ADA website compliance means meeting the legal bar US courts and the DOJ tie to those same standards. We audit your site against WCAG, fix what fails, and keep it from regressing.
What we do
- Accessibility audit. A full pass against WCAG 2.2 Level AA: keyboard operability, focus order, color contrast, form labels, ARIA usage, alt text, headings, and reflow. You get a prioritized report mapping each failure to a specific success criterion, the affected code, and the fix — not a pass/fail badge with no path forward.
- ADA / WCAG remediation. We do the actual code work: rewriting markup for correct semantics, fixing focus traps and tab order, adding accessible names, correcting contrast tokens in your design system, and making custom widgets (modals, menus, carousels, date pickers) behave for assistive tech. We work in your stack — React, Vue, Astro, WordPress, headless CMS — not a third-party overlay script.
- Ongoing compliance. Accessibility breaks the moment new code ships. We wire automated checks (axe-core, Paxe, Lighthouse) into CI, set up periodic manual re-testing, and give your team the patterns and component fixes so new work starts accessible instead of being retrofitted.
Standards we work to
Three references matter in the US, and they overlap:
- WCAG 2.2 AA is the technical standard. It is what auditors test against and what courts cite as the practical definition of an accessible site. Levels go A, AA, AAA; AA is the operative target for almost every commercial site.
- Section 508 applies to US federal agencies and their vendors. It now points directly at WCAG 2.0 AA, so a site built to WCAG 2.2 AA already covers it.
- ADA Title III covers “places of public accommodation.” Title III has no published technical spec, so plaintiffs and the DOJ use WCAG as the measuring stick. In practice, meeting WCAG 2.2 AA is how you answer an ADA demand letter.
Our process
Tools catch roughly a third of issues; the rest need a person. We run both:
- Automated testing. axe-core and Lighthouse across templates and key flows to catch contrast, missing labels, and structural errors fast and at scale.
- Manual testing. A human works through every flow with the keyboard alone, checks focus visibility and order, and verifies the visible content matches the accessibility tree.
- Screen-reader testing. We test real assistive tech — NVDA and JAWS on Windows, VoiceOver on macOS and iOS — because a site can pass every automated check and still be unusable to someone who cannot see it.
Why it matters
There are two reasons, and both are real. The legal one: ADA web lawsuits and demand letters run in the thousands per year in US federal and state courts, and a settlement plus remediation under deadline costs far more than getting it right up front. The human one: about one in four US adults reports a disability. An inaccessible checkout, form, or login is lost customers and support tickets, not an abstract compliance line item. Fixing accessibility usually improves the experience for everyone — clearer focus states, better contrast, and proper labels help all users.
Why us
We are engineers who ship the fixes, not a sales team that resells an overlay widget. Overlay scripts do not make a site compliant and are themselves named in lawsuits; the fix is in the code. We test with the same assistive technology your users run, we work inside your existing framework and CI, and we hand back maintainable components and documented patterns so accessibility holds after we leave.
