Accessibility Audit Services

No. Overlay widgets that claim to automatically fix accessibility do not address underlying code-level barriers, can interfere with assistive technology, and do not produce the standards-based documentation required for compliance. Companies using overlays continued to face ADA lawsuits throughout 2025, with plaintiffs regularly citing that the widget failed to fix the barriers their users actually encountered.

An overlay is not a substitute for an independent manual audit. Only a credentialed human assessment produces the documented Accessibility Conformance Report that legal teams, procurement offices, and regulators accept.

No. Automated scanners reliably detect only 30 to 40 percent of WCAG issues. The barriers most likely to affect real users, and to expose your organization to legal or procurement risk, require certified human testing. Scanners cannot evaluate whether a label is actually meaningful, test screen reader flows, or assess whether keyboard navigation makes sense in context.

TestPros uses an automated scan as a baseline starting point, but the assessment itself is fully manual, conducted by IAAP WAS-certified professionals and DHS Trusted Testers using real assistive technology including NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver, and keyboard-only navigation. A scan is a useful tool. It is not a compliance determination.

An accessibility audit is the testing process itself, a systematic evaluation of a digital asset against WCAG, Section 508, or other applicable standards by certified human testers.

An Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR) is the document produced from that testing, mapping each finding to a specific success criterion with a conformance determination.

A VPAT (Voluntary Product Accessibility Template) is the standardized template format used to structure and present an ACR, primarily for procurement. When someone asks for a VPAT, they are asking for an ACR in that format. TestPros delivers ACRs in current VPAT format, covering WCAG, Section 508, and EN 301 549 as applicable.

It depends on your organization type and where you operate. Most U.S. businesses open to the public are subject to ADA Title III, which courts have consistently applied to websites and mobile apps. State and local government entities face ADA Title II, which now carries a specific WCAG 2.1 AA requirement under a DOJ rule. Organizations selling technology to the federal government need a Section 508 conformance assessment and VPAT. Organizations operating in the EU face EN 301 549 through the European Accessibility Act. Those in Ontario, Canada are subject to AODA.

Many organizations are subject to more than one standard at once. TestPros can help you determine which apply and assess against all of them in a single engagement.

Most website and application audits are completed within two to four weeks from scope confirmation. The timeline depends on the number of templates and user flows in scope, the types of assets being tested (web, mobile, documents, or a combination), and whether a VPAT or ACR is required alongside the findings.

Document remediation projects run on a separate timeline based on the number and complexity of files. Enterprise engagements covering multiple properties or ongoing programs are scoped with their own schedule. TestPros provides a projected timeline with every engagement quote.

Both. Every TestPros engagement includes detailed remediation guidance: each finding comes with a specific, actionable recommendation your development team can implement directly. You never receive a list of problems without a path to fixing them.

PDF and document remediation is a primary TestPros service, and we handle the actual remediation work directly, producing accessible documents that conform to WCAG and Section 508.

Website and application code remediation is available on request. Most commercial clients have their own development teams and prefer to implement fixes using our guidance, but TestPros can take on the implementation directly when that is what the engagement calls for.

TestPros accessibility audits typically range from $5,000 to $150,000 or more, depending on the scope of the engagement. The main cost drivers are the number of digital properties and templates in scope, the types of assets being tested, the depth of documentation required, and whether retesting or ongoing program support is included.

Unlike some larger accessibility firms, TestPros does not sell scanning software or accessibility platforms, so the assessment is never shaped by a tool we profit from. You are paying for independent human judgment, not a software sales model.

Contact us for a scoped quote. Most engagements can be scoped within one conversation.

Every TestPros accessibility assessment delivers a documented Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR) in standard VPAT format. The report includes an executive summary written for stakeholders and decision-makers, every finding mapped to its specific WCAG success criterion and conformance level, a severity rating and precise location for each issue, a recommended fix for each finding, and a prioritized remediation roadmap your development team can act on immediately.

Reports are prepared by credentialed testers, IAAP WAS-certified and DHS Trusted Tester, and are accepted in procurement processes, legal proceedings, and regulatory contexts. For enterprise programs, TestPros also provides regression testing documentation and ongoing conformance tracking as the engagement continues.
