What is Section 508 and why does it matter?

Our testing process
A clear path from scope to remediation.
Our process combines technology and human expertise so your team receives findings that are relevant, validated, and practical to fix.
- Step 01
Discovery & Scope Review
We identify critical pages, templates, workflows, documents and user journeys that need to be included in the Section 508 assessment.
- Step 02
Automated Testing
Automated tools are used to identify common accessibility issues at scale and establish an initial technical baseline.
- Step 03
Manual Accessibility Audit
Our specialists manually review keyboard access, focus, forms, structure, interaction behavior, semantics and usability.
- Step 04
Assistive Technology Testing
We evaluate important journeys using technologies such as NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver, keyboard-only navigation and browser zoom.
Why choose us
Accessibility testing that goes beyond automation.
Automated scanners are useful, but they cannot fully understand how a person using a keyboard, screen reader or other assistive technology experiences your website. Our specialists combine technology with expert human testing to deliver findings your team can trust and act on.
Expert-led accessibility testingBuilt for product, design, development and compliance teams
A scanner identifies errors. We explain the real user impact.
Our audit process validates automated results, identifies issues that tools cannot detect and provides practical remediation instructions for designers and developers.
- Fewer false positives
Every automated result is reviewed before it appears in your final report.
- Real user-focused testing
We test important journeys using keyboards, screen readers and browser accessibility features.
- Actionable developer guidance
Findings include practical fixes, affected elements and relevant WCAG references.
