Accessibility Audits (WCAG/508)

WCAG 2.2 AA and Section 508 audits with manual AT testing (JAWS/NVDA/VoiceOver), fix-ready tickets, and VPAT/ACR support.

Meet WCAG 2.2 AA and Section 508 with audits that translate findings into clear fixes, priorities, and evidence. We combine automated scans with manual assistive-technology testing (JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver), then partner with your team on remediation—from code changes and component patterns to VPAT/ACR documentation.

What We Deliver

  1. Accessibility Audit Report: severity-ranked issues, WCAG/508 mapping, screenshots, repro steps.
  2. Fix-Ready Tickets: one issue = one ticket with code/context, acceptance criteria, and retest steps.
  3. Component Library Guidance: accessible patterns (menus, dialogs, tables, forms, toasts).
  4. VPAT/ACR Drafting: accurate disclosures with remediation roadmap & dates.
  5. Dev Handoff & Training: workshops for engineers, designers, and content authors.

Testing Coverage

  1. Automated: rulesets (axe/Lighthouse class), color contrast, headings/landmarks, ARIA misuse.
  2. Manual: keyboard-only flow, focus management, skip links, modals/traps, forms & errors.
  3. Assistive Tech: JAWS/NVDA/VoiceOver reading order, labels, tables, live regions.
  4. Media & Docs: captions, transcripts, audio descriptions, PDF tagging & reading order.

Remediation & Engineering

  1. Code Fixes: semantic HTML first, then ARIA where needed; robust form validation; accessible dialogs/menus.
  2. Design Adjustments: contrast, target size, reflow (320px), motion/reduced-motion alternatives.
  3. Content Updates: alternative text quality, headings hierarchy, link purpose, plain language.

Governance & Evidence

  1. Policies & Checklists: definitions of done with WCAG acceptance criteria.
  2. Evidence Kits: before/after screenshots, AT results, screen recordings.
  3. Procurement: VPAT/ACR support and renewal schedule.
CERTIFICATIONS

Ongoing Monitoring

  1. CI Gates: automated checks on PRs; fail-on-critical, warn-on-minor.
  2. Dashboards: open issues by severity, time-to-fix, regression rate.
  3. Regression Playbooks: release markers, sampling plans, and fallback UX.

Delivery Approach

  1. Assess pages, flows, documents, and media; identify priority user journeys.
  2. Audit with automated + manual + AT testing; produce fix-ready tickets & evidence.
  3. Remediate with paired engineering/design and content updates.
  4. Validate retests, update VPAT/ACR, and sign off.
  5. Operate with CI gates, dashboards, and periodic re-audits.
