ADA-related digital accessibility lawsuits increased over 300% in the past five years. Beyond the legal risk: a button that meets contrast requirements is more readable for everyone. We make your product compliant and better. Those are the same thing.
Accessibility is not a feature on the backlog. In the US, ADA Title III applies to digital products and the case law is expanding. The European Accessibility Act takes effect in 2025. WCAG 2.1 AA has become the de facto standard that regulators, procurement teams, and courts reference. The compliance question is no longer whether to address accessibility but whether to address it proactively or reactively after a demand letter. The proactive path is cheaper, faster, and produces a better product.
We audit existing products against WCAG 2.1 AA (and 2.2 where applicable) using a combination of automated scanning (axe, Lighthouse, WAVE) and manual testing. Automated tools catch approximately 30% of accessibility issues. The rest require human evaluation: keyboard navigation testing across every interactive element, screen reader testing with VoiceOver and NVDA to verify reading order and semantic structure, color contrast verification in context (not just against a white background), and focus management testing for dynamic content and single-page application navigation. Each finding is documented with severity, user impact, WCAG criterion reference, and a specific remediation recommendation.
For new products, we embed accessibility into the design process from the start. Color palette development with contrast ratios verified at every combination. Typography sizing and spacing that meets readability thresholds. Component interaction patterns designed for keyboard, screen reader, and switch device access simultaneously. Semantic HTML structure defined in the design specification, not left to engineering interpretation. The cost of building accessibility in is a fraction of remediating it later. And the product is better for every user, not just those who require assistive technology.
Teams that treat accessibility as a constraint rather than a burden produce clearer layouts, more logical navigation, better form design, and more consistent interaction patterns. The constraints force decisions that benefit everyone. A form that works with a keyboard works better with a mouse. A heading structure that makes sense to a screen reader makes sense to every user scanning the page.
