Federal
Section 508
Federal agencies and the vendors that sell them ICT must meet WCAG 2.0 AA. Most purchases require a VPAT/ACR — no conformance report, no sale.
Accessibility · Compliance
Section 508 & ADA accessibility audits.
WCAG 2.1 AA audits, real remediation, and the VPAT/ACR report procurement actually asks for — from a veteran-owned studio that builds accessible sites, not one that bolts on an overlay widget.
The deadlines
The bar didn’t move. The clock did.
Accessibility is now a procurement gate and a litigation risk across three buyer types. A web studio is the natural provider — the same work that earns conformance also improves SEO.
State & Local
ADA Title II
State and local government web and apps must meet WCAG 2.1 AA. Compliance dates: April 2027 (large entities) and April 2028 (smaller).
Healthcare
HHS Section 504
Federally funded health entities face a parallel WCAG 2.1 AA mandate, phased in through May 2027–2028. Commercial sites face ADA lawsuit exposure today.
What you get
Audit. Remediate. Certify.
01 · Audit
WCAG 2.1 AA audit
Automated scanning plus manual testing (keyboard, screen reader, focus order, contrast). You get a prioritized findings report mapped to WCAG success criteria, not a raw tool dump.
02 · Remediate
Real fixes
Semantic structure, headings, alt text, color contrast, focus states, ARIA, and keyboard operability — fixed in the code, then re-tested. No overlay widgets (they draw lawsuits, not protection).
03 · Certify
VPAT / ACR
A completed Voluntary Product Accessibility Template / Accessibility Conformance Report — the document a contracting officer or procurement team needs to greenlight the purchase.
04 · Monitor
Stay compliant
Optional ongoing monitoring so new content and code changes don’t quietly regress your conformance before the next audit cycle.
Investment
Typical ranges, scoped after a free scan.
Every site is different, so every engagement is scoped to the page count and complexity. As a starting frame:
Audit
$2k–$20k
By site size, from a focused small-site audit to a comprehensive enterprise review with a full VPAT.
Remediation
~$250–$550/page
Code-level fixes and re-testing, priced per page so you can phase the work by priority.
Monitoring
$100–$500/mo
Ongoing scans and a quarterly conformance check so you don’t regress between audits.
