Accessibility services that drive real results

From audit to fix to follow-up — we handle the technical complexity so you can focus on serving more customers, with less legal risk.

01

Accessibility Audit

A thorough evaluation of your digital properties against WCAG 2.1 AA and AODA standards, delivered as a clear, prioritized action plan your team can act on.

  • Automated + manual testing across all pages
  • Assistive technology compatibility checks
  • Executive summary with risk-priority matrix
  • Competitive benchmarking snapshot
02

Compliance Remediation

We implement the fixes — code changes, content restructuring, design updates — so your team doesn't have to learn WCAG overnight.

  • Front-end code fixes & semantic HTML repair
  • Color contrast & responsive design updates
  • ARIA labelling & keyboard navigation
  • PDF & document accessibility fixes
03

Follow-Up Consulting

Accessibility isn't one-and-done. We provide ongoing monitoring, team training, and quarterly reviews to keep you compliant as your site evolves.

  • Quarterly compliance re-certification
  • Staff training workshops & docs
  • Priority support for new feature launches
  • Annual accessibility statement updates
The Business Case

Accessibility drives revenue, not just compliance

Every improvement you make expands your market, improves SEO, reduces legal exposure, and creates better experiences for all users.

1

Expand Your Customer Base

One in five Canadians has a disability. An accessible site means you can serve — and sell to — all of them. That's $55 billion in annual spending power.

2

Minimize Legal Risk

AODA fines reach $100,000 per day for corporations. Proactive compliance costs a fraction of what reactive litigation does.

3

Boost Search Rankings

Accessible code is clean code. Semantic HTML, alt text, and proper headings are exactly what search engines reward.

4

Strengthen Your Brand

Clients and partners increasingly evaluate firms on inclusion practices. Accessibility signals you take all stakeholders seriously.
