Website Accessibility Remediation

A WEBSITEEVERYONECAN USE

We find and fix the barriers that stop disabled people using your website, testing against WCAG with assistive technology and repairing the design, code and content so the fixes last.

Accessibility RemediationWhat we build

01WCAG audit
02Code level fixes
03Screen reader testing
01Our Approach

An overlay widget does not make a site accessible, because the barriers live in the code and content and have to be repaired there.

02Overview

Removing the barriers in an existing website

  • 01WCAG audit
  • 02Code level fixes
  • 03Screen reader testing

Accessibility remediation repairs a website so that people who use a keyboard, a screen reader, magnification or voice control can complete the same tasks as everyone else. We audit against the current WCAG success criteria at the level you need, rank the failures, fix them in templates and components, and retest each one.

It suits organizations that have received a complaint, face a legal or procurement requirement, or simply want their site to work for more people. We report what was tested, what was fixed and what remains. We do not issue blanket statements of compliance, since conformance depends on content your team keeps adding after we leave.

03What We Do

Capabilities, End to End

01
Scoped audit

We agree the standard, the level and a representative set of pages and journeys, then test each against the success criteria by hand and with automated tools.

02
Assistive technology testing

Key journeys are completed with screen readers on desktop and phone, with a keyboard alone and at high zoom, since automated checks find only part of the problems.

03
Component repair

Menus, dialogs, tabs, carousels and forms are rebuilt with correct roles, labels, focus handling and keyboard behavior, so one fix corrects every page that uses them.

04
Color and type fixes

Contrast, text size, spacing and focus indicators are adjusted within your brand, with alternatives proposed where a brand color cannot meet the required ratio.

05
Content and media

Headings, link text, image descriptions, captions, transcripts and documents are corrected, and editors receive rules that keep new content accessible.

06
Regression checks

Automated accessibility tests run on every release and flag new failures, while a manual retest schedule covers what tools cannot judge.

04In The Design File

From Kickoff to Launch

01
Agree the scope
02
Audit and rank
03
Repair
04
Retest and report
01
Agree the scope

We settle which standard and level apply to you, choose the pages, templates and journeys that represent the site, and write a test plan that names the browsers, devices and assistive tools.

02
Audit and rank

Each page in scope is tested by hand and by tool, failures are recorded against the criterion they break, and the list is ranked by how badly each one blocks a real task.

03
Repair

Fixes are made at the source in shared components, templates and styles, then in content, with each change reviewed by a second person and checked with the assistive technology that exposed it.

04
Retest and report

Every recorded failure is tested again, the report is updated with what passed and what remains open, and we draft an accessibility statement that says exactly that and no more.

08Who It Is For

Built for Teams Like Yours

FLAGSHIP
Your website shuts out some of its visitors

A complaint, a tender or a legal review has shown that the site fails accessibility standards, or you already know that parts of it cannot be used with a keyboard or a screen reader. You want the barriers found, fixed properly and reported honestly.

09Questions

What buyers ask before they start

If yours is not here, ask us directly. The first conversation is free and useful whether or not we work together.

WCAG at Level AA is the reference used by most laws, public buyers and courts, in version 2.1 or 2.2 depending on the rule that applies to you. Which rule that is depends on your country, sector and customers, and is a question for your legal adviser. We test against the version and level you confirm and record the choice in the report.

No. Overlay tools add a script that tries to patch pages in the browser. They cannot repair missing structure, broken keyboard paths or forms without labels, and many screen reader users report that they make sites harder to use. An overlay is not evidence that a site conforms to the standard. Lasting accessibility comes from correcting the templates, components and content themselves.

We do not issue certificates, and you should be cautious of anyone who does. We give you a report that states which pages were tested, against which criteria, with which tools, and what passed or failed on retest. That evidence is what a buyer, an auditor or a court will ask for. Conformance also has to be maintained as content changes.

Automated tools reliably detect a minority of accessibility failures, such as missing labels, low contrast and invalid markup. They cannot judge whether a description makes sense, whether focus moves logically or whether a task can be finished with a screen reader. We use tools to cover every page quickly and manual testing for the journeys that matter, and report both kinds of result.

It depends on what your team does next, which is why handover matters. Automated checks stay in the release process, editors receive rules for headings, links, images and documents, and designers get accessible versions of the components. We recommend a manual retest at agreed intervals and after large changes. Without that upkeep, new barriers appear as soon as the site is edited.
