Frequently Asked Questions
WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) is the international standard for digital accessibility — covering websites, apps, and documents. WCAG 2.1 AA is the most commonly required conformance level, referenced by ADA, Section 508, and the European Accessibility Act.
In the US, websites serving the public are subject to ADA Title III requirements. Federal agencies and their contractors must meet Section 508. The European Accessibility Act sets similar requirements in Europe. Courts have consistently ruled that inaccessible websites violate the ADA.
No. Automated tools find approximately 30–40% of accessibility issues. The remaining violations — including keyboard navigation, screen reader compatibility, and focus management — require expert manual testing with real assistive technologies.
A typical website audit covering 20–30 key pages and user journeys takes 2–3 weeks. PDF remediation timelines depend on document volume and complexity. We provide a scope estimate before any engagement begins.
