What is Accessibility Remediation?
Accessibility remediation is the process of correcting barriers that prevent people with disabilities from using your website or documents. This includes fixing code, design, and content issues so your digital assets meet ADA, WCAG 2.1/2.2, and Section 508 requirements.
Examples of remediation work:
- Adding alt text and ARIA labels
- Fixing keyboard navigation issues
- Ensuring proper heading structure
- Correcting form errors and error messages
- Making PDFs and Word documents screen-reader friendly
Why ADA Remediation Matters
- Legal Compliance: Businesses and public agencies are being sued for inaccessible websites.
- User Experience: Accessibility improves navigation for all users, not just those with disabilities.
- Contracts & RFPs: Many government and enterprise buyers require proof of accessibility.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is ADA website remediation?
It’s the process of fixing barriers on your website so it meets ADA and WCAG standards, making it accessible to people with disabilities.
How much does accessibility remediation cost?
Costs vary based on site size and complexity. Small fixes may be a few hundred dollars, while large sites or documents may require a detailed quote.
Do I need remediation if I already use accessibility tools or overlays?
Yes. Overlays often fail to meet ADA or WCAG requirements. True compliance requires direct remediation of code and content.
How long does the accessibility remediation process take?
The timeline for accessibility remediation can vary depending on the size and complexity of your digital content or product. Typically, a full website remediation can take anywhere from 4-6 weeks, but this can extend if your site has a large number of pages or complex features.
Can you provide certification of compliance after remediation?
Yes, for organizations that require documentation for federal contracts or other purposes, we can assist in preparing a Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) and completing the Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR). These documents are critical in demonstrating your commitment to accessibility and are often required when engaging with government agencies or other entities that require digital accessibility. This certification and documentation can be valuable for legal protection. It can also be used in communications with stakeholders, customers, or partners, and included in accessibility statements on your website. Regular updates and audits can be arranged to maintain compliance as accessibility standards evolve.
How do I fix web accessibility issues?
Fixing web accessibility issues involves the following steps:
- Conduct an Accessibility Audit: Start by assessing your website with automated tools, manual testing, and by reviewing it against recognized standards like WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines).
- Identify and Prioritize Issues: Focus on the most critical barriers first, such as missing alt text for images, inadequate color contrast, lack of keyboard navigation, and unclear content structure.
- Implement Remediation Solutions: Make the necessary changes, such as adding alternative text, ensuring all interactive elements are accessible via keyboard, improving color contrast, structuring content with proper headings, and providing captions for videos.
- Test Changes: After implementing fixes, test the site again to confirm that the issues have been resolved. It’s important to include users with disabilities in this testing phase to ensure practical accessibility.
- Maintain Accessibility: Make accessibility a part of your ongoing web development process. Regularly update content and features while ensuring they remain accessible, and conduct periodic audits to identify new issues.
What are the 4 principles of web accessibility?
The four principles of web accessibility, known as POUR, are:
- Perceivable: Information and user interface components must be presented in ways that users can perceive. This means that content should be available to at least one of the user’s senses (sight, hearing, or touch).
- Operable: User interface components and navigation must be operable. Users should be able to interact with all controls and navigation elements, and they should be accessible via multiple input methods, including keyboard and screen readers.
- Understandable: Information and the operation of the user interface must be understandable. Content should be easy to read, predict, and comprehend, ensuring that users of all abilities can understand the information provided and how to navigate the website.
- Robust: Content must be robust enough to be interpreted reliably by a wide variety of user agents, including assistive technologies. This means that your website should work across different platforms, browsers, and devices, and be compatible with current and future technologies.
