Accessibility Services
What We Do
One in four U.S. adults lives with a disability, and ADA digital-accessibility lawsuits have more than tripled since 2018. Accessibility is a standard your site has to meet on every page, every day — so we build the safety net into your development workflow.
Audit
Automated axe-core and Playwright keyboard coverage across representative pages and flows, plus manual review with assistive technology where human judgment is required.
Remediate
Fixes land in your codebase: templates, components, contrast, focus management, forms, and document structure. AI accelerates the mechanical work; engineers own every change.
Sustain
Regression tests, continuous integration checks, and editorial guardrails so the fixes hold as your content and code evolve.
The Four-Layer Defense
Barriers get caught at every stage of development, from the moment code is written to the moment it ships.
1. Static linting
Catches mistakes the instant a file is saved: ESLint jsx-a11y, Stylelint, a Twig checker, and PHPCS analyze code before anyone sees the page.
2. Git hooks
Every commit runs the linters automatically. Nothing gets past this gate without passing checks.
3. Rendered-page testing
Playwright, axe-core, and Pa11y test fully rendered pages in the browser, catching what static analysis misses: contrast failures, missing labels, keyboard traps, focus problems, and ARIA misuse.
4. AI code review
Claude Code examines every pull request for what automated tools miss: poor semantic HTML, confusing interaction patterns, and missing screen-reader context.
What Automation Catches
A single automated scanner typically catches about 30% of WCAG issues. Our primary engine, axe-core, documents a 57% detection rate with near-zero false positives, and the layered stack raises estimated coverage to roughly 70% of common violations before they reach production. The rest — cognitive accessibility, content readability, complex interaction patterns — needs human judgment, which is why assistive-technology validation and expert review stay in the process.
Automation improves coverage, but it does not certify conformance. Results also depend on content and code that may sit outside our control, and questions of legal exposure belong with your counsel.
Rollout That Fits Your Situation
New builds enforce from day one: every accessibility check is an error, so debt never accumulates. Existing sites start in advisory mode — every finding surfaces in pull requests without blocking deploys — while your team clears the backlog guided by the remediation estimate. The hard gate turns on once the backlog is under control, typically within four to six weeks, and weekly scheduled audits catch drift from then on.
Inspect Our Methods
Our testing methods are public. The accessibility-skills repository holds the planning, testing, review, and audit tooling we use, including Playwright keyboard tests, axe-core scans, and reproducible bug reports. Inspect the work before you hire us.
Find Out Where You Stand
Request a bounded review of a representative slice of your site. We will identify the highest-impact fixes and return a focused report. The assessment is not a certification, costs nothing, and creates no obligation for either team.
