Website Remediation

Group of people working on a web site

Are you looking for an experienced web accessibility team to help bring your website into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Section 508, and other international accessibility laws? A11Y Pros specializes in website remediation services that align with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, levels A and AA—ensuring your website is legally compliant, user-friendly, and inclusive to people with disabilities.

Meeting WCAG 2.1 standards is not just about avoiding lawsuits—it’s about making your digital content accessible to everyone, including people using assistive technologies such as screen readers, keyboard navigation, or alternative input devices. When your site is fully accessible, you improve usability for all users and expand your potential audience.

Achieving Website Compliance

The process of making your website accessible and WCAG compliant involves a three step process.

1. Accessibility Audit

We begin with a comprehensive accessibility audit of the website to identify all WCAG violations. Our expert auditors review your site’s code, structure, design patterns, and interactive elements to uncover any barriers that might prevent users with disabilities from accessing your content.

2. Code Remediation

Next, our development team performs detailed accessibility remediation, directly fixing issues in your site’s HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and broader application code. Whether your site is built on a CMS like WordPress, Drupal, or Joomla, a frontend framework such as React, Angular, or Vue, or even a mobile app using React Native, we work within your tech stack to implement accessibility best practices.

We address issues such as:

  • Correcting semantic HTML and ARIA usage for screen reader support
  • Improving keyboard navigation and focus management across dynamic components
  • Ensuring proper labeling of forms, buttons, and controls—whether native or custom
  • Fixing color contrast issues in design systems and themes
  • Remediating interactive elements like modals, menus, carousels, and popovers
  • Updating custom components and widgets in JavaScript-heavy UIs to follow WCAG guidelines
  • Improving responsive design and touch targets for accessibility across devices

Our team doesn’t rely solely on plugins or overlays—we go directly into the codebase to apply lasting, standards-compliant fixes. This ensures your application or website is not just technically compliant, but also truly usable by people with a wide range of abilities.

3. Verification & Final Testing

Once remediation is complete, we perform a full accessibility verification to confirm that all issues have been resolved. This includes manual testing with screen readers, keyboard-only navigation, and a fresh round of automated scans. We also provide a compliance report detailing the changes made and evidence of WCAG conformance.

Website Remediation FAQs

What is website remediation, and why is it important for accessibility compliance?
Website remediation is the process of identifying and fixing accessibility issues to ensure compliance with WCAG 2.1 AA standards, the ADA, and other global regulations. It improves usability for people with disabilities, reduces legal risks, and expands your audience.
What accessibility laws require website remediation?
In the U.S., websites must comply with the ADA, Section 508, and various state laws. Globally, regulations like the European Accessibility Act (EAA) and Canada’s ACA/AODA mandate web accessibility. Meeting WCAG 2.1 AA standards ensures compliance with most accessibility laws.
How long does it take to remediate a website for WCAG compliance?
The remediation timeline depends on the complexity of your website and the number of WCAG violations. A small website may take a few weeks, while large enterprise platforms can require ongoing remediation and accessibility audits.
Can website remediation be done without a complete redesign?
Yes, remediation focuses on fixing accessibility issues within your existing website structure. While some cases may benefit from a full redesign, most websites can be made compliant by updating the code, improving keyboard navigation, adjusting color contrast, and adding proper ARIA attributes.
Do I need to keep maintaining accessibility after remediation?
Yes. Accessibility is an ongoing process, not a one-time fix. Regular audits, staff training, and accessibility reviews should be conducted to ensure new content and updates remain compliant with WCAG standards.
Can I use accessibility overlays instead of remediation?
No. Accessibility overlays and AI widgets do not fix the underlying code issues that create accessibility barriers. They often introduce new problems and provide little to no legal protection against lawsuits. Proper remediation ensures full compliance and a better user experience for people with disabilities.
How much does website remediation cost
The cost of website remediation varies based on factors such as website size, complexity, and the number of WCAG violations. Small websites may cost a few thousand dollars, while larger enterprise sites requiring extensive remediation and ongoing accessibility monitoring can cost significantly more. Requesting an audit is the best way to get an accurate estimate.
