Web Accessibility Consulting
Expert Consultants in WCAG, EAA, 508 & ADA Compliance
Our web accessibility specialists help ensure your digital properties comply with legal requirements in the U.S. and internationally by aligning with the latest Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). These guidelines serve as the recognized standard for accessibility compliance under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, various state regulations in the U.S., the European Accessibility Act (EAA), Canada’s ACA and AODA, and other global accessibility laws.
Both the Department of Justice and the courts have reinforced that websites, mobile applications, and SaaS platforms must comply with ADA and Section 508. A growing number of legal firms are actively pursuing businesses whose websites fail to meet WCAG standards—and the reality is that most websites do not comply. Unless a site is intentionally built and maintained to meet these requirements, accessibility issues are inevitable.
Our ADA compliance consultants take a practical, strategic approach to guiding your team through the risks and available solutions. We also assist in developing internal policies and crafting public-facing accessibility statements for your website. Establishing a culture of accessibility is key to equipping your design, development, and content teams with the knowledge and support they need to maintain an inclusive digital presence. Beyond mitigating legal risks, ensuring accessibility expands your audience by making your website available to millions of users with disabilities. It’s not just about compliance—it’s a smart business decision, and we’re here to help make it happen.
Path to WCAG Compliance
Start by understanding what digital accessibility entails and why it’s crucial for your business, institution, or organization. Key stakeholders need to grasp the risks, opportunities, and solutions before taking action.
Develop a compliance strategy tailored to your organization’s situation. Are you responding to an existing legal challenge, or are you proactively working to prevent one? Consider your website’s current lifecycle—should you remediate the existing site or invest in a redesign?
Address the website itself. Whether you’re building a new platform or improving an existing one, work with professionals who not only have a deep understanding of accessibility and WCAG standards but also possess strong coding expertise. Our team is fluent in both accessibility best practices and web development.
Keep thorough records of the work done and publish a clear web accessibility statement on your website. [Here’s a guide to crafting an effective accessibility statement.]
Plan for ongoing compliance by scheduling accessibility audits based on your risk tolerance, budget, and how frequently your website is updated.
Common pitfalls to avoid
Automated Audits Alone Aren’t Enough
The WCAG guidelines are complex and require interpretation. Automated testing tools can only identify about 30% of accessibility issues. The remaining 70% must be detected through manual review and testing with assistive technologies.
Beware of Quick-Fix Overlay Widgets, Plugins, or Toolbars
If a solution promises instant compliance, it’s too good to be true. The demand for low-cost, easy WCAG compliance has led to a surge of shortcut solutions that claim to use AI but fail to deliver truly accessible experiences for people with disabilities. They also offer little legal protection. Even worse, websites using overlays have increasingly become targets for serial lawsuits.
