WCAG 2.1 / 2.2 AA · ADA compliance
We test your site against WCAG 2.1/2.2 AA, then fix what fails, for small businesses, nonprofits and public offices alike. That lowers your ADA-lawsuit risk, gets you through procurement checks, and lets people on a keyboard or screen reader finish what they came to do.
A written scope and quote before any work begins. Prefer to talk? Book a 30-minute call.
ADA demand letters go out by the thousands. The European Accessibility Act is in force. Enterprise, government, and education buyers want a VPAT before they sign. Most accessibility vendors hand over a report and stop there. We design and build websites, so we audit against WCAG 2.1/2.2 AA, fix what we find, and re-test to show it holds. We don’t install overlay widgets: they don’t make a site compliant, and lawsuits now target sites that use them. Not sure where you stand? Start with how to tell if your website is ADA compliant.
The problem is close to universal. WebAIM scans the home pages of the top one million websites every year, and in its 2026 report it detected WCAG 2 failures on 95.9% of them, an average of 56.1 errors per page. Low-contrast text alone turned up on 83.9% of home pages. Those are only the errors a scanner can find, so the real numbers are higher. Source: The WebAIM Million, 2026.
A scanner on its own misses most of what goes wrong for disabled visitors, so we test the site the way they use it. The list:
Scanners flag the obvious failures. The harder ones only show up when a person sits down and uses the site.
We tab through every menu, form, and checkout step without a mouse, checking focus order and looking for traps.
We use the site with VoiceOver and NVDA and listen to what a blind visitor would actually hear.
Text, buttons, and hover and focus states measured against AA contrast ratios. Pale gray text is the usual offender.
Every field gets a real label, and errors are read out loud instead of showing up only as a red outline.
Headings in order, landmarks, alt text, and ARIA only where it helps. Bad ARIA is worse than none.
Each issue ranked by severity, linked to the WCAG criterion it fails, and paired with its fix.
The standard courts, funders, and procurement teams cite. We test to whichever version your contract names.

Not sure how your site would hold up? Send us the address and we will scope an audit.
Plenty of vendors deliver a PDF of failures, an invoice, and a cheerful “good luck.” The PDF doesn’t change the site. We design and build, so we do the remediation ourselves: corrected markup and ARIA, focus management, contrast and form fixes. Then we re-test to conformance to confirm each fix worked. If procurement or an RFP asks for paperwork, we write a VPAT / ACR based on real testing of your site. See our full packages and pricing, or start with our breakdown of what an audit costs and the $5,000 Disabled Access Credit most small businesses miss.
Three options: a report your own developers work from, a site we fix for you, or ongoing upkeep. Prices are starting points. Every engagement gets a written scope and quote before work begins.
From $1,500
WCAG 2.1/2.2 AA testing, automated and manual, written up as a prioritized report and fix roadmap any developer can work from.
From $4,500
Everything in Audit. Then we make the fixes ourselves and re-test until the site conforms, so the work is finished when we hand it back.
From $355/mo
Quarterly re-audits, monitoring, priority fixes, and VPAT upkeep. Every new page or post can break something, so someone has to keep checking.
Need a VPAT / ACR for procurement or an RFP? We write formal conformance reports as an add-on.
Got a demand letter or a deadline? Tell us where things stand and we will reply within one business day.

Read the full review on GoogleAccessibility work usually lands on organizations with the most at stake: nonprofits with grant conditions, healthcare and medical practices, schools, online stores that can’t afford to lose customers at checkout, and government contractors who need a VPAT to bid. North Carolina counties, towns and school districts also face their own deadline under ADA Title II. Most people who call us have a simpler reason, though. A demand letter just arrived and the clock has started. We can help whether you’re early or already behind.
WCAG (the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) is the international standard for accessible websites. AA is the level courts, funders, and procurement teams refer to. Version 2.2 is the current one. It adds a few success criteria on top of 2.1 and is fast becoming the default reference. For most sites we audit against 2.2 AA, which covers 2.1 AA as well. If a grant, contract, or RFP names a specific version, we test to that one.
No. Nobody can make a website legally immune, and you should be wary of anyone who says they can. What an audit plus remediation does is cut your risk substantially. You remove the barriers that lead to demand letters, you have a documented good-faith effort to conform to WCAG, and you close the issues automated scanners flag first. That is a solid, defensible position to be in. It just isn't a legal guarantee.
No. Overlays are the "accessibility button" plug-ins that promise instant compliance. They don't deliver WCAG conformance, and a growing share of accessibility lawsuits name sites that run them. A script loaded on top of the page can't repair the markup, structure, and content underneath, which is where accessibility actually lives. We fix the code itself, so the site works with a keyboard, a screen reader, and other assistive tech.
Yes. A VPAT (Voluntary Product Accessibility Template), filled out as an Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR), is the document government, education, and enterprise buyers ask for before they sign. We write one as an add-on to any audit or remediation project. It records how your site measures up against each applicable WCAG success criterion, and it's based on an audit where we actually tested the site.
Usually one to three weeks. The range comes down to the size of the site and how many distinct page templates and interactive flows it has. A small marketing site goes quickly. A large site with logins, dashboards, and checkout takes longer, since we test the flows people really use instead of sampling a few static pages. We plan the remediation timeline at the same time, so the schedule you get is a realistic one.
An audit starts at $1,500. That covers a WCAG 2.1/2.2 AA assessment, a prioritized report, and a fix roadmap. Audit plus remediation, where we make the fixes and re-test to conformance, starts at $4,500 and depends on how many issues we find and how serious they are. Ongoing Compliance Care starts at $355/mo, and a formal VPAT/ACR is available as an add-on. You get a written scope and quote before any work begins.
