Accessibility Upgrades

Enhance your applications with inclusive design and WCAG compliance

Don’t just comply with accessibility requirements – exceed them and delight your users.

When done right, accessibility opens your product to broader audiences; it delivers a superior experience for every user; it helps the entire business, end to end. This does not require re-architecting everything; our accessibility upgrade service gradually transforms existing applications to meet modern standards, and does it without compromising the work you’ve already done.

We bring your software into WCAG 2.1 compliance while optimizing for screen readers and assistive technologies. Your applications can feature complete keyboard navigation, enhanced color contrast, improved visual clarity, and proper semantic markup with ARIA attributes. We’ll help you ensure accessibility across all devices and screen sizes – creating a truly universal experience.

The advantages extend far beyond compliance. By embracing accessibility, you expand your user base to include people with disabilities, significantly reduce legal liability, and enhance overall usability. We can help you meet government and industry requirements while demonstrating a genuine commitment to inclusivity — a value increasingly important to consumers and partners alike.

Our team possesses the specialized expertise to achieve yur accessibility goals while preserving your systems’ durability and reliability. Whether driven by compliance requirements or a desire to serve all potential users, our accessibility upgrade service delivers meaningful improvements that benefit everyone who interacts with your software.

Web Accessibility Impact

Frequently Asked Questions

What accessibility standards do you follow?

We follow WCAG 2.1 Level AA guidelines as a baseline, which are the current industry standard for web accessibility. We can also work with you to meet specific requirements like Section 508 compliance for government websites or ADA compliance for commercial sites.

How long does an accessibility upgrade typically take?

The timeline varies based on your application’s size and complexity. A basic accessibility audit and essential fixes might take 2-3 weeks, while a comprehensive upgrade for a large application could take 2-3 months. We’ll provide a detailed timeline estimate after our initial assessment.

Will accessibility upgrades affect my site’s design?

While some visual changes may be necessary to meet accessibility standards, we strive to maintain your site’s brand identity and aesthetic appeal. Many accessibility improvements, like proper heading structure and ARIA labels, are invisible to sighted users but crucial for assistive technology.

Accessibility Documentation

Yes, we provide comprehensive accessibility documentation tailored to your specific needs. Our documentation packages range from basic guidelines to extensive manuals, each explaining the accessibility features we’ve implemented in your system. For content creators, we offer detailed workflows that ensure new content remains accessible, while developers receive technical specifications and code examples for maintaining accessibility in future updates. Our documentation also includes thorough testing procedures, allowing your team to independently verify ongoing compliance with accessibility standards. These resources are designed to support your organization in maintaining accessibility long after implementation.

Can you help with ongoing accessibility maintenance?

Yes, we provide comprehensive accessibility maintenance services through a range of tailored packages designed to fit your specific needs and budget. Our ongoing support ensures your digital assets remain accessible as technology and standards evolve. Each package includes varying levels of compliance monitoring, regular testing with the latest assistive technologies, systematic handling of user feedback, and updates to meet changing accessibility standards. Whether you need quarterly check-ins or comprehensive yearly/quarterly/monthly audits, we can create the right maintenance approach to protect your accessibility investment while accommodating your resources.

How do you test accessibility?

We implement a comprehensive accessibility testing framework that combines technology and human expertise. Our process begins with automated accessibility scanners to identify basic compliance issues, followed by in-depth manual testing using various assistive technologies that real users depend on. We thoroughly evaluate keyboard navigation patterns to ensure all users can access your content regardless of their input methods. Every visual element undergoes color contrast and readability assessment to support users with visual impairments.

What truly sets our approach apart is our collaboration with individuals who have disabilities, providing authentic user perspectives that no automated tool can replicate. We offer a range of service packages tailored to meet your specific needs and budget constraints, from essential compliance checks to comprehensive accessibility audits with detailed remediation guidance. Each package provides different levels of depth and support, allowing you to choose the solution that best aligns with your organization’s accessibility goals and resources.

What if my site needs complex interactive features?

We specialize in making complex web applications accessible while maintaining full functionality. Our expertise extends across the entire spectrum of interactive elements — from modal dialogs and sophisticated form controls to dynamic content updates and custom widgets. For projects requiring advanced features like rich text editors, we provide thoughtfully designed accessibility solutions that preserve both user experience and inclusivity.

Our service packages range from focused accessibility remediation to comprehensive implementation of complex interactive features. Whether you need basic compliance updates or enterprise-level accessible application development, we offer tailored service tiers designed to accommodate both your specific technical requirements and budget constraints. Each package includes different levels of support, testing, and implementation to ensure your interactive features remain powerful while becoming accessible to all users.

What about legacy content?

We understand that handling legacy content presents unique challenges for organizations of all sizes. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution, we provide a range of service packages tailored to your specific needs and budget constraints.

Our approach begins with a thorough assessment of your existing content ecosystem, examining current usage patterns and identifying critical areas that deserve immediate attention. We focus our initial efforts on high-impact content that receives frequent traffic, ensuring the most valuable resources are addressed first.

For clients seeking comprehensive solutions, our premium packages include end-to-end content transformation with regular maintenance schedules. Those with more limited resources can opt for our targeted packages, which address only the most essential content while providing practical alternatives for materials that don’t warrant immediate updates.

Each engagement follows a carefully planned timeline with clear milestones, allowing for methodical improvement while minimizing disruption to your operations. Whatever your constraints, we’ll work with you to develop a pragmatic strategy that balances ideal outcomes with practical realities.

What About Mobile Accessibility?

Yes, we can help with that. A good accessibility plan includes strategies tailored to handheld devices. Our approach embraces responsive design patterns that dynamically adapt to various screen sizes while maintaining functionality. Every application undergoes rigorous testing with mobile screen readers to verify information remains accessible to visually impaired users. We carefully design touch targets that accommodate diverse dexterity needs, maintain proper contrast ratios that remain visible even in challenging lighting conditions, and ensure keyboard navigation works intuitively for users who rely on alternative input methods. Our service packages range from essential mobile compliance assessments to comprehensive accessibility implementations, with flexible options tailored to align with both your organizational needs and budgetary considerations.

Do you offer training for our team?

Yes, we can provide comprehensive training solutions for teams at all experience levels. Our training packages range from introductory sessions to advanced masterclasses, each tailored to your specific needs and budget.

Our accessibility training encompasses the fundamental principles of inclusive design, practical content creation techniques, development best practices, thorough testing methodologies, and strategies to avoid common accessibility pitfalls. Whether you need focused training in a particular area or a complete accessibility curriculum, we can customize a program that aligns with your team’s goals and resource constraints.
