Website and application audits
Manual accessibility testing for websites, web apps, portals, and mobile experiences using keyboard, structure, focus, forms, naming, contrast, and assistive-technology workflows.
DHS Section 508 Trusted Tester Certified • WCAG • ADA Title II
Accessibility is now a web and mobile requirement for state and local government.
We provide full compliance support for state agencies.
Under the Department of Justice’s Title II rule, state and local government web content and mobile apps need to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Larger governments have a compliance date of
April 26, 2027, while smaller governments and special district governments generally have until April 26, 2028. State agencies need more than a scanner report. They need a
defensible process for auditing current systems, checking vendor claims, documenting risk, and prioritizing remediation across public-facing services and internal tools.
We help state IT teams evaluate websites, portals, digital documents, mobile apps, and web applications against current accessibility requirements, then turn findings into
practical fixes, procurement-ready evidence, and credible VPAT / ACR support.
- Audit third-party vendor platforms and in-house applications using manual testing, assistive technology workflows, and Trusted Tester-informed methods.
- Test and verify 3rd party vendors VPAT (Voluntary Product Accessibility Template) & ACR's (Accessibility Conformance Report).
- Help your agency to be fully compliant with all documentation and audit reports.

A straightforward path from audit to action.

Test real usage patterns
Evaluate keyboard access, focus, forms, structure, names, labels, contrast, semantic markup, and assistive technology behaviors across critical tasks.
Prioritize the findings
Group issues by severity, user impact, and implementation effort so your team can fix the most important blockers first.
Support remediation and reporting
Help internal teams and vendors turn findings into fixes, retest results, and stronger accessibility evidence for stakeholders and procurement.
