How We Approach ADA & Accessibility Compliance

A surprising number of accessibility “fixes” on the market are really just an overlay script bolted onto an otherwise inaccessible site. It looks like progress in a demo, but it rarely holds up under real scrutiny – or a real screen reader.

Our approach starts with an actual audit against WCAG 2.1 AA: color contrast, keyboard navigation, semantic heading structure, form labeling, and alt text, checked by hand rather than assumed from an automated score.

From there, we prioritize fixes by real user impact, not by whichever issue is easiest to resolve. A missing form label that blocks a screen reader user from submitting a contact form matters more than a decorative image missing alt text.

The goal is not a badge to display in the footer. It is a site that actually works for the people using it.
