Accessibility testing with findings developers can fix

Automated scanners catch only part of the picture. We combine tooling with keyboard and screen-reader testing to show where real people get stuck, and exactly what needs to change.

Accessibility gaps exclude users and create risk

Inaccessible software turns away customers, frustrates employees and can expose organizations to complaints. Most issues are straightforward to fix once they are clearly identified.

  • Scanner-only auditsAutomated tools miss problems with focus order, meaning, and real assistive-technology use.
  • Vague reportsLong lists of rule violations without context leave developers unsure what to change.
  • Issues found at launchAccessibility is checked after the design is final, making fixes expensive.
  • RegressionsFixed issues quietly return in the next release because nothing checks for them.

Tested the way people actually use your software

We test against WCAG success criteria and Section 508 requirements using automated tools, manual inspection, keyboard-only navigation and screen readers.

Each finding includes where it occurs, who it affects, the relevant criterion, and a practical recommendation. After your team fixes issues, we verify the remediation and help you add checks that prevent regressions.

Capabilities

  • WCAG testing

    Evaluation against WCAG 2.1 and 2.2 success criteria at the conformance level you target.

  • Section 508 testing

    Testing aligned with Section 508 requirements for organizations that need it.

  • Keyboard accessibility

    Verification that every function works without a mouse, with visible and logical focus.

  • Screen-reader testing

    Testing with common screen readers to confirm content and controls are announced correctly.

  • Accessibility audits

    Structured reviews of key journeys with prioritized, developer-ready findings.

  • Remediation verification

    Retesting of fixes to confirm issues are resolved without new ones introduced.

How we work

  1. Scope

    Agree the journeys, pages, platforms and standard to test against.

  2. Automated scan

    Use tooling to find common, machine-detectable issues quickly.

  3. Manual testing

    Keyboard, screen-reader, zoom and contrast testing of each journey.

  4. Report

    Prioritized findings with criteria references and fix guidance.

  5. Verify

    Retest remediated issues and recommend checks for your pipeline.

What it means for your business

Technologies we use

  • WCAG 2.2
  • Section 508
  • Screen readers
  • Keyboard testing
  • Automated a11y scanning
  • Playwright
  • Cypress
  • More people can use your product

    Customers and employees who rely on assistive technology can complete key tasks.

  • Clear priorities

    Findings are ranked by impact so your team fixes what matters first.

  • Reduced exposure

    Documented testing and remediation support your accessibility commitments.

  • Fewer regressions

    Accessibility checks become part of how you release, not a one-off project.

Frequently asked questions

Do you certify that our site is compliant?

No. There is no single official certification for WCAG conformance. We test against the standard and document results, so you can make informed decisions and statements with appropriate advice.

Is an automated scan enough?

No. Automated tools are useful for speed but detect only a portion of issues. Manual and assistive-technology testing is needed for a meaningful assessment.

Can you test mobile apps and documents?

We can discuss mobile and document accessibility during scoping and tell you plainly what we can cover.

Can you help our developers fix issues?

Yes. Findings include practical recommendations, and we can pair with developers or verify fixes as they are completed.

Why Automated Scans Are Only the Beginning of Accessibility Testing

Passing an automated scan does not mean an application is accessible. Where scanners stop, and what human testing adds.
