Build & Modernize

Accessibility & compliance engineering.

WCAG audits. Remediation. VPAT documentation.

We audit enterprise web applications against WCAG 2.1 AA criteria, remediate issues directly in the codebase, and produce the VPAT documentation federal and enterprise procurement teams require — with a U.S.-based team that understands how accessibility actually works in complex applications.

01 · The problem we solve

Why enterprise accessibility programs fail.

01

Accessibility is treated as an afterthought

Digital products are built first, then reviewed for accessibility — creating expensive remediation cycles that slow releases and frustrate development teams.

02

Automated tools miss most real-world barriers

Automated accessibility scanners catch roughly 30% of actual WCAG issues. The barriers that block screen reader users, keyboard-only users, and people with cognitive disabilities typically go undetected.

03

Compliance pressure without a clear remediation path

Legal and procurement requirements are tightening, but teams lack a clear action plan — leaving accessibility work reactive rather than built into the development process.

02 · What we deliver

Accessibility services for enterprise teams.

From initial audit through remediation, VPAT documentation, and ongoing monitoring — structured accessibility work that fits your release cycle.

Accessibility Audit

Structured audit against WCAG 2.1 AA criteria — combining automated scanning with manual keyboard and screen reader testing across browsers and devices.

Remediation Engineering

Fix the issues found. We implement accessibility fixes directly in your codebase — semantic HTML, ARIA patterns, focus management, and color contrast.

Discuss this →

VPAT / ACR Documentation

Produce a Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) or Accessibility Conformance Report — required for federal procurement and enterprise vendor reviews.

Discuss this →

Component Library Accessibility

Audit and harden your design system or component library so accessibility is built in at the component level rather than fixed page by page.

Discuss this →

Developer Training

Train your team to write accessible code from the start — patterns for forms, modals, navigation, dynamic content, and third-party widgets.

Discuss this →

Ongoing Compliance Monitoring

Scheduled accessibility monitoring, regression testing, and support for your release cycle — so regressions are caught before production.

Discuss this →

AI-assisted scanning, human-validated findings

We use AI-assisted scanning tools to accelerate audit coverage, then manually validate findings against real assistive technology. The remediation work and engineering judgment are always human — because accessibility that matters to real users cannot be automated away.

03 · How we work

From audit to accessible, documented product.

01

Scope & Audit

Define the audit scope, identify the target user journeys, and run combined automated and manual testing.

02

Prioritize & Plan

Classify findings by severity and impact. Build a remediation plan tied to your sprint schedule or release cycle.

Prioritized remediation backlog
03

Remediate & Validate

Fix issues in the codebase, validate each fix against real screen readers, and re-test the affected components.

Verified, accessible components
04

Document & Monitor

Produce VPAT/ACR documentation and establish ongoing monitoring to catch regressions before go-live.

04 · Common questions

Frequently asked questions.

What is the difference between WCAG 2.1 AA and Section 508?

Section 508 is the U.S. federal accessibility law. It currently incorporates WCAG 2.0 Level AA by reference for web content. Meeting WCAG 2.1 AA covers the substantive requirements of Section 508 and is generally the target for both private-sector and federal digital products.

Do you do accessibility audits on web applications as well as websites?

Yes. We test both static websites and dynamic web applications — including complex interactions like modals, date pickers, data tables, drag-and-drop, and real-time content updates. Web applications present more complex accessibility challenges than static content.

Can you provide a VPAT for our product?

We can produce a VPAT or Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR) documenting conformance against WCAG 2.1 AA. A VPAT reflects the actual state of your product at audit time — we produce a documented, defensible conformance statement based on real testing findings.

How long does an accessibility audit take?

A scoped accessibility audit of a 10–30 page application with defined user flows typically takes 2–3 weeks, including the written report. Larger products with complex dynamic interactions will require a longer scope definition and testing period.

We already have an accessibility overlay tool — do we still need an audit?

Yes. Accessibility overlay tools do not achieve conformance — they mask problems rather than fix them, and many create new barriers for screen reader users. A proper audit and remediation in the codebase is the only way to achieve and maintain conformance.
