ADA Remediation
Auditing and remediating the web applications you already run to WCAG 2.1 Level AA — the standard the 2024 Department of Justice rule names for ADA Title II — and proving it with a conformance report.
A good score is not compliance
Automated accessibility tools check roughly a third of WCAG. The other two thirds is where the problems that actually stop people tend to live.
On a recent public-facing legal complaint form, the page we inherited scored 95 in Lighthouse — and could not be submitted with a keyboard at all. Tabbing past the last field wrapped back to the top of the page, skipping both buttons, because Save and Cancel were marked disabled in a way that meant they never took focus. A keyboard user reached the end of the form, found no way to send it, and was told nothing. No automated score catches that, because nothing is technically wrong with the markup.
That is the gap we work in: the difference between a passing scan and a form a real person can actually complete.
How we actually test
We run more than one engine — axe-core and IBM Equal Access — across every state a page can be in: empty, fully errored, and down each conditional branch. We run them at the sizes people really use, including 320 pixels wide and at 200% text. Then we walk the whole thing on a real keyboard, one keystroke at a time, and confirm every single stop shows a visible focus ring.
The combination is what finds what either half misses alone. Two real examples from the last pass: a reCAPTCHA container that could not be scrolled by keyboard, but only below about 380 pixels wide — two earlier passes had missed it because neither ran at a narrow viewport. And a required-field marker that was purely decorative, so fifteen controls never announced themselves as required to a screen reader at all. The visual asterisk was there the whole time; nothing behind it was.
Evidence you can hand to counsel
Every finding comes with the rule it breaks, the measured value, and where it occurs. Contrast is reported as a ratio against the threshold — 4.15:1 where the standard needs 4.5:1 — not as a pass or fail we ask you to trust.
Then we remediate, and re-run the pass to show the finding is closed. You end up with an Accessibility Conformance Report (VPAT 2.5) you can give to counsel or a procurement officer, and an explicit list of anything still open, including the parts that can only be verified by hand.
We would rather tell you a manual screen-reader pass is still outstanding than let a clean automated report imply a guarantee it cannot make.
