Accessibility
ADA website compliance audit, and the fixes in code.
Accessibility, audited and fixed:a WCAG 2.2 AA audit. a demand-letter response. a compliance response. fixes in code. tests that keep it fixed.
Automated and manual, with the fixes ranked by what matters.
For owners and agencies with a demand letter, a procurement form or a deadline. A WCAG 2.2 AA audit in writing, the fixes made in the code, and tests that keep them fixed.
Where this usually starts
- A demand letter that lists barriers a tester found, with a deadline and no plan.
- A procurement form or a security questionnaire asking for a VPAT you don't have.
- An accessibility overlay widget on the site, and a second letter anyway.
- Forms, menus and modals that can't be used from a keyboard.
- Contrast and control names that fail the automated checks your client ran.
- Public-sector clients that now ask their vendors for WCAG 2.1 AA under the ADA Title II web rule.
How it works
Send the letter, the URL or both. In five business days you get a WCAG 2.2 AA audit of your key pages and flows, every issue the letter cites and the ones it missed, ranked by how much they stop a person from using the site, with a fixed quote for the fixes. The audit fee is credited to them.
The fixes are made in the code of your site: semantics, control names, contrast, keyboard operability, modals and focus. No overlay. When the work is done you get a dated report of what was tested and fixed, and automated tests that run on every change so it stays that way.
What you end up with
- A written audit and plan your attorney, your client or a procurement reviewer can read.
- The barriers fixed in your site, with the before-and-after checks in writing.
- A VPAT when a buyer asks for one.
- Tests that fail the build if a new page breaks accessibility, like the ones that check this site.
We are engineers, not attorneys. Talk to an attorney about the letter itself; we handle the technical side and give your attorney documentation to work with.
What it costs
- Accessibility audit
- $750–1,500
- A WCAG 2.2 AA audit of your key pages and flows, automated and manual, with the fixes ranked by what matters and a fixed quote to make them.
- Demand-letter response
- From $2,500
- Every issue the letter cites and the ones it missed, with a written plan you and your attorney can work from. The audit fee is credited to the fixes.
- Compliance Response
- $3,500
- A WCAG audit, a remediation plan and a VPAT, for a demand letter, a procurement request or the European Accessibility Act.
- Fixes in code
- $80–150 an hour
- Semantics, control names, contrast, keyboard operability, modals and focus, fixed in your site rather than a widget layered on top. Quoted from the audit, in writing.
- Keeping it fixed
- $500–1,500 a month
- Automated accessibility tests on every change, a dated report of what was tested, and someone to call when a new page needs checking.
Every price is fixed before the work starts and holds unless the scope changes. Anything outside a package is quoted by the hour, in writing, first.
Questions
- Is this legal advice?
- No. We are engineers, not lawyers. Work with an attorney on the letter itself; we do the technical audit, the fixes and the documentation your attorney can use.
- Will an accessibility overlay widget solve this?
- Overlays don't change the code that fails, and sites that use them are still sued. The FTC has acted against one overlay vendor over claims that its tool could make any site compliant.
- Which standard do you test against?
- WCAG 2.2 AA, or WCAG 2.1 AA where a rule or a contract names it. The Department of Justice has not issued a technical rule for private businesses' websites; its guidance points to WCAG.
- Which platforms can you fix?
- WordPress, Squarespace, Webflow, Shopify and custom code. Some platforms limit what a theme can change; the audit says which findings need a different approach.
- Can you guarantee we won't be sued again?
- No one can promise that. What we can do is fix the barriers, keep automated tests running so they don't come back, and give you dated records of the work.
- How fast is it?
- An audit of the key pages takes five business days from access to the report. Fixes are scheduled from the plan, the cited issues first.
- Do you work in Spanish?
- Yes. We're bilingual in English and Spanish, and we test Spanish-language sites.
