Government Accessibility

ADA Title II and Section 508 conformance

We bring public agencies into ADA Title II and Section 508 conformance — WCAG 2.2 AA websites and PDF/UA-1 documents.

SBA-certified SDVOSB & VOSB; California DVBE & Small Business certified.

Accessibility — the backbone

ADA / WCAG 2.2 AA website accessibility — audits, remediation, and accessible site builds (exceeds the WCAG 2.1 AA floor).
Section 508 (29 U.S.C. §794d) — federal ICT accessibility: websites, documents, and software conformed to the Revised 508 Standards (WCAG 2.0/2.1 AA), with VPAT / ACR documentation.
PDF / document remediation to PDF/UA-1 (ISO 14289-1) — agendas, minutes, notices, ordinances, forms, financials; tagged, screen-reader-ready, before/after evidence; scanned documents re-authored to readable text.
Accessibility evidence packages — axe-core + deterministic contrast testing, veraPDF conformance reports, manual assistive-technology QA, conformance documentation / VPAT.

Section 508: federal agencies' websites, documents, and ICT must be accessible under the Revised 508 Standards — a standing procurement requirement, not a one-time project.
DOJ ADA Title II rule (adopted in 2024, deadlines extended in April 2026): state & local government websites and public documents must meet WCAG 2.1 AA (we build to 2.2 AA). Deadlines: April 26, 2027 (jurisdictions 50,000+); April 26, 2028 (under 50,000 and special districts).

No overlay widgets — overlays don't achieve conformance and are a liability flag in ADA litigation; they're rented and you own nothing. We build accessibility into the product; you own every remediated file and line of code, permanently.
Evidence, not promises — documented testing, human QA, and a conformance/evidence package every engagement. Measurable risk reduction with proof; we do not claim "guaranteed compliance."
