Accessibility & compliance

Audits, document remediation, inclusive research and Title II readiness, run as engagements that end in evidence, not a report on a shelf. We have built to WCAG 2.1 AAA, remediated 600+ PDFs in one month and hold our own site to WCAG 2.2 AA.

Accessibility is where our recent work runs deepest. We audit websites, portals and documents against WCAG, fix what we find, and design services with the people who find them hardest to use, including people with disabilities.

Every engagement ends in evidence you can show: an issue log with every fix, documents certified one by one, and checks that keep new content compliant after we leave. It is the same discipline we apply to base22.com, held to WCAG 2.2 AA with automated checks on every change.

For state and local governments the dates are set. ADA Title II requires websites and electronic documents, PDFs included, to meet WCAG 2.1 AA: by April 26, 2027 for public entities serving 50,000+ people, and by April 26, 2028 for smaller entities and special districts.

02What we cover

Four ways to get accessible, and stay that way.

  • Title II & Section 504 readiness

    A program to meet the ADA Title II and Section 504 dates: assess, remediate, certify, and keep it that way.

    See Title II readiness

  • Accessibility audits

    Sites, portals and apps tested against WCAG 2.1 or 2.2 AA, by tools and by people using assistive technology.

    See accessibility audits

  • Document & PDF remediation

    PDFs made accessible at volume and certified one by one: 600+ in one month for the New Mexico Department of Health.

    See document remediation

  • Inclusive research & plain language

    Research with people with disabilities, and content they can read the first time. Tech4Me went from 74 questions to 11.

    See inclusive research

03How an engagement runs

Assess. Remediate. Certify. Keep.

Our US public-sector work is performed in the United States by US-based staff.

  1. Assess

    An inventory of your sites, applications and documents, tested against WCAG, with every issue ranked by who it blocks.

  2. Remediate

    Fixes in the templates and components pages are built from, and documents remediated at volume.

    AI: self-hosted models draft alt text; a person approves every description.

  3. Certify

    Evidence for each page and document: what was checked, what was fixed and who signed off.

  4. Keep

    Checks on every change and trained authors, so what you publish next stays compliant.

Opportunities for Ohioans with Disabilities

Tech4Me: helping Ohioans with disabilities find the technology that works for them

For an Ohioan with a disability, the right technology, from a screen reader to audio directions to the bus stop, can be what makes a job possible. Tech4Me is where they, their families and their counselors find it. We redesigned that journey with the people who take it: the questionnaire went from 45–60 minutes to 5–10, in plain language, and ends in a personal report that links every recommendation to the tools themselves.

    New Mexico Department of Health: 600+ public health documents, from 2,000+ accessibility issues to zero

    A parent filling in an asthma action plan for school, someone requesting a water analysis, a family reading about mpox in Diné: New Mexicans get much of what they need from their Department of Health as PDFs. We committed to 300 of the Department’s public documents and delivered more than 600 in one month (May 2026), taking them from more than 2,000 WCAG 2.1 AA issues to none.

    Stanford AXESS: the student portal redesigned with the students who use it, and built to be accessible

    AXESS is where Stanford students enroll in classes, check their bills and financial aid, and where faculty and staff reach their own services. We redesigned it with students, teaching assistants and the university offices behind it in 2021–2022, and built it on Liferay with an accessible theme; it went live in August 2022, and its enrollment and calendar components were then remediated to WCAG 2.0 AA.

    Job & Family Services: four clear starting points for Ohioans who need help, on the State’s new platform

    People come to jfs.ohio.gov at hard moments: after losing a job, when the food budget runs short, when a child support payment is late. In 2025–2026 we rebuilt the Ohio Department of Job & Family Services’ website on the State’s new Contentful platform around four starting points instead of a list of programs, and moved three related sites with it, keeping the forms, search and chatbots people rely on. It has just gone live.
