Web accessibility services: audits, testing and compliance

Web accessibility means people with disabilities can use your website or web application independently — with keyboards, screen readers, and other assistive technology. We test how your site actually performs for those users, map every barrier to WCAG, and give you a prioritized path to fix it. And because accessibility arrives under many names, we route you to the exact compliance track your situation requires.

Web accessibility services

ADA website compliance

For public-facing sites managing legal exposure. Courts use WCAG as the benchmark, and the work is an audit, prioritized fixes, validation, and a record you can defend.

WCAG audits & testing

The standards-based technical evaluation against WCAG 2.1 or 2.2, criterion by criterion, combining automated checks with manual and assistive-technology testing.

Accessible design

Building accessibility into layouts, components, and UX decisions before development begins — where fixes cost the least and barriers never ship.

Website accessibility services for WCAG and ADA compliance

Accessibility work has one honest starting point: knowing where your site stands. Our web accessibility audit pairs expert manual review with assistive-technology testing, using keyboards and screen readers the way real users do. Every barrier we find is mapped to a WCAG success criterion and ranked by impact, so your team gets a prioritized fix path instead of a raw scanner export.

That evidence carries into whichever compliance requirement brought you here. The same criteria-mapped findings serve an ADA legal question, a federal Section 508 obligation, and a buyer's VPAT request — one audit, done properly, feeds all three.

Accessibility audit, WCAG audit, ADA, or Section 508: which one you need

Website accessibility compliance services get requested under several names: accessibility audit, WCAG audit, ADA audit, Section 508 review. The terms are used interchangeably, but they answer different questions, and choosing the wrong track wastes weeks and budget:

  • Managing legal exposure on a public-facing site — that is ADA website compliance: audit, prioritized fixes, validation, and a defensible record.
  • Selling to or working for federal agencies — that is Section 508 compliance, measured against WCAG 2.0 Level A and AA.
  • A buyer asked for accessibility documentation — that is a VPAT/ACR, built on real audit evidence.
  • Your team needs a standards-based technical evaluation — that is a WCAG audit against 2.1 or 2.2, criterion by criterion.
  • You are building or redesigning and want accessibility from the start — that is accessible design, so barriers never ship.

Starting with a single audit avoids scoping work against the wrong standard, and the evidence carries forward to whichever track applies. All of our website accessibility services run off that first audit, so nothing is tested twice when the requirement turns out to be Section 508 or a buyer's VPAT rather than an ADA question. Tell us your situation on a consult and we will point you to the right track in plain terms, including when the answer is a smaller engagement than you expected.

How we test website accessibility

We test websites and web applications the way people with disabilities actually use them, then report in a form your developers can work from.

Keyboard-only navigation

We operate your site without a mouse to surface keyboard traps, unreachable controls, and flows that cannot be completed at all.

Screen reader testing

JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver across common browser pairings, so you learn what your content actually announces to a screen reader user.

Magnification and contrast

Screen magnification and contrast checks that catch what breaks when a page is zoomed or read by someone with low vision.

Automated baseline

Tooling clears the machine-detectable issues first, so the manual effort goes where it actually adds value.

Templates, components, flows

We test the patterns that repeat across your product and the journeys that drive task completion, not a random sample of pages.

Criteria-mapped reporting

Each finding is tied to its WCAG success criterion with location, evidence, severity, and a fix your developers can execute.

Automated checks run first and clear the machine-detectable issues; manual testing then covers what no scanner can — keyboard traps, unlabeled controls, focus that disappears, and flows that cannot be completed without a mouse. Documents, mobile apps, and other asset types are scoped during the consult.

What you receive in a website accessibility audit

  • An audit report with each finding mapped to a specific WCAG success criterion, its location, and supporting evidence.
  • Findings ranked by user impact, so remediation starts where it matters most.
  • Remediation guidance written for your developers — implementation-ready, not abstract.
  • A clear statement of coverage: the templates, components, and user flows tested.
  • A retest after your fixes ship, confirming what is resolved, plus an executive summary for stakeholders.
  • Evidence formatted to carry forward into ADA compliance, Section 508, or VPAT/ACR work.

Common questions about web accessibility

How do we know which service we actually need?
Start with the audit — the findings decide it. They show whether your situation is a legal-risk question (ADA), a federal requirement (Section 508), a buyer asking for documentation (VPAT/ACR), or a standards audit for your development team. We tell you which track the results point to, in plain terms.
What do we receive from an accessibility audit?
A report with each finding mapped to its WCAG success criterion, its location and evidence; findings ranked by user impact; remediation direction for developers; a clear statement of coverage; and a retest once your fixes ship.
How do you scope an audit for a large site?
By pattern, not by page count. We test the templates and components that repeat across the site and the journeys that carry the business, which gives real coverage without auditing thousands of near-identical URLs.
Can you test our mobile app or our documents as well?
Documents, mobile apps and other asset types are scoped during the consult so coverage matches your actual product rather than a generic template. Tell us what exists and we will say what is in and what is out before work starts.
Is an overlay or widget a shortcut we can take?
No. Overlays modify a page at runtime; they do not fix inaccessible markup, focus order or custom components, and they are not treated as evidence of compliance. The work has to happen in the underlying code.
Do you fix the problems, or only find them?
We find, prioritise and document them, and hand your developers direction they can implement. Your team makes the changes and we retest to confirm. Working alongside your existing agency is a common arrangement.
How often should we re-test?
At major redesigns and platform migrations, at significant feature releases, and periodically when forms, navigation or interactive components change. Accessibility decays as products evolve, so a one-time audit protects you for exactly as long as the site stands still.
Can you work alongside the agency that built our site?
Yes. We are usually the independent party: we test, they implement, we verify. That independence is also what makes the evidence worth anything if it is ever examined by a court or a procurement reviewer.

Who does this work

David LoPresti

Founder and CEO, ADA Compliance Professionals

David LoPresti's work centers on translating WCAG and Section 508 requirements into practical implementation and verification processes, which is exactly what an audit of a website has to produce: the failing success criterion named, the place it fails shown, and a fix a developer can actually build. You receive criteria-mapped findings, remediation planning you can schedule against your release cycle, and a retest that confirms what the fixes resolved.
