What We Do
Our methodology combines the best of automated reviews, expert page level reviews, UX reviews and technical reviews of your domain properties. We assess your site against WCAG 2.0 guidelines, with a focus on A-level, AA-level & AAA-level accessibility standards. We then organize our findings into prioritized groupings, producing efficient and comprehensive remediation coverage at the page level – with a total remediation plan that is developer-ready.
We produce a custom remediation plan that outlines errors, warning and recommendations for page level remediation efforts with visuals of updated page elements. We provide before-and-after code updates that show the proper development techniques needed for 508 compliance. Our approach also enables outsoucing of the remediation effort, site monitoring, support and mentoring of internal teams to keep your website(s) in 508 compliance.
