Accessibility testing by people.
Automated tools find only some of the barriers that stop people. Our experts test your website or app the way your customers use it, and a certified accessibility professional reviews every finding.
The results cover the tasks and pages we agree with you, not your whole product.
What automated tools can’t tell you.
Tools can test only part of WCAG, the standard accessibility laws point to. The W3C, which publishes the standard, says no tool alone can tell whether a site meets it.
40%
of 142 planted barriers were found by the best of 13 automated tools. The weakest found 13%.
A tool can detect
That an image has a description.
A person checks
That the description says what the image shows, in a way that makes sense on the page.
A tool can detect
That a form field has a label.
A person checks
That the label and the error messages tell people what to enter and how to fix a mistake.
A tool can detect
Rules on one page at a time.
A person checks
Whether someone can finish a whole task, such as signing up or paying, from start to end.
How we test.
Tools go first, and people decide. Each review follows the same five steps.
We agree the scope.
You tell us who uses your product and which tasks matter most, such as signing up, searching, or paying. Together we choose the pages and screens to test.
Tools check what they can.
Automated checks catch common barriers quickly, such as missing labels. That leaves the testers’ time for what tools can’t judge.
People test each task.
Testers try each task with a keyboard, a screen reader, and magnification, and record every place where someone would get stuck.
A certified professional reviews the findings.
An IAAP-certified accessibility professional checks each finding against WCAG, rates how serious it is, and writes the fix in plain language.
You get a record of the work.
Every finding says where it is, who it affects, and how to fix it. The report records what we found on the date we tested. It is evidence of your effort, not a legal opinion or a guarantee.
Reviewed by a certified accessibility professional.
Our testers work with an IAAP Certified Professional in Accessibility Core Competencies (CPACC). It is the IAAP’s foundational certification, awarded to people who pass an exam on disabilities and assistive technology, accessibility and universal design, and laws, standards, and management.
That knowledge helps the reviewer judge how much a barrier stops someone, and suggest a fix that works with the assistive technology people use.
The certification belongs to the person reviewing your product. It is not a certification of your product, and we do not issue one.
