Universal ADA compliance engagement

Accessibility remediation scope for codebases, products, and public sites.

The same process applies across healthcare, e-commerce, SaaS, public sector, and documentation-heavy properties: secure codebase access, manual WCAG 2.2 AA auditing, code-level remediation, retesting, documentation, and ongoing release control.

Engagement scope

What the engagement covers

Every project starts the same way: access to the real codebase and environments, manual auditing of the actual user journeys, prioritized code fixes, validation, and a documented path toward compliance.

Codebase Access & Installation

We start with repository access, staging or local environment setup, dependency install, authenticated routes, and any deployment context required to review the real product instead of screenshots or surface-level markup.

Repository access

Staging or local

Build dependencies

Authenticated states

Codebase access setup board with repository dependency staging authentication and deployment pipeline checks

Manual Audit & Issue Logging

We run manual WCAG 2.2 AA review across keyboard flows, screen reader behavior, structure, forms, dialogs, errors, tables, media, and motion to document the issues that actually block users.

Keyboard review

Screen reader testing

Component inventory

Code-Level Remediation

Findings are converted into actionable engineering work: semantic HTML, ARIA corrections, focus management, accessible names, form recovery, status messaging, and reusable component fixes.

Semantic fixes

Focus management

Forms and errors

Component repair

Validation & Documentation

After implementation, we retest the repaired surface, confirm closure, and package the supporting documentation your team needs for internal tracking, stakeholder review, and external requests.

Retesting

Closure evidence

Compliance notes

Statement support

Validation and documentation package with retest evidence closure log compliance summary stakeholder review and external request materials

Ongoing Compliance Support

Accessibility has to survive future releases. We support regression review, release checkpoints, design system governance, and recurring validation so fixes do not decay after launch.

Release review

Regression control

Design system rules

Monitoring cadence

Delivery timeline

What a typical remediation schedule looks like

Most remediation scopes land in 5-10 business days once access is granted. Smaller sites with fewer unique pages and templates often close faster.

Days 1-2

Kickoff, access, and scope lock

We secure repository or CMS access, verify staging, collect test accounts, and lock the exact templates, components, and user journeys included in the first remediation pass.

Repository and staging access

Environment verification

Page and flow list confirmed

Days 2-4

Manual audit and issue logging

The agreed templates and priority user journeys are reviewed against WCAG 2.2 AA, with every defect logged alongside screenshots, severity, code context, and the exact remediation requirement.

Component-level patterns

Days 4-10

Code remediation and staging QA

Once the backlog is approved, fixes move directly into code. Shared components are corrected first, then page-specific issues are cleared in staging and rechecked as they land.

Component fixes shipped

Page issues cleared

Staging QA rechecks

Client review checkpoints

Final validation evidence package and stakeholder handoff checklist

Days 10-14

Final validation and handoff

We complete closure testing, package the evidence set, and hand off final status. Smaller sites often reach this stage inside the first week, while broader page counts still stay inside a two-week window.

Manual closure retest

Updated evidence package

Stakeholder handoff review

Post-launch monitoring plan

Traceability model

Every finding keeps its evidence trail

The scope is not just a list of activities. Each issue carries enough context to explain where it failed, why it matters, how it was fixed, and what confirmed closure.

Sample finding record

Retested closure

Focus state disappears after modal submission

A single accessibility issue stays connected to the affected journey, WCAG criterion, engineering fix, and retest result instead of becoming an isolated note in a PDF.

Observed failure

Keyboard user loses visible focus after submitting a protected form dialog.

Impact mapped

Blocks completion and maps to focus visibility and predictable interaction criteria.

Fix referenced

Component update restores focus target and exposes status messaging.

Closure retested

Keyboard and screen reader retest confirms the repaired flow closes cleanly.

Severity

Major user-flow blocker

Evidence

Screenshot, steps, assistive tech notes

Handoff

Backlog item, fix notes, retest status

Client communication

Clear updates by phone, Slack, and email

You are not left guessing where an issue stands. Phone calls handle decisions and blockers, Slack keeps managed services and active fixes moving cleanly, and email preserves the formal record for approvals, summaries, and handoffs.

Primary channels

The right conversation happens in the right place.

Every engagement starts with a simple communication rhythm, so your team knows when to expect updates, where decisions live, and how urgent accessibility blockers get escalated without cluttering the workflow.

Phone calls

High priority

Used for kickoff, blocker resolution, implementation walkthroughs, final review, and anything that needs a real-time decision.
Slack workspace

Daily hub

Used for managed services, issue threads, fix notes, screenshots, staging links, retest status, quick approvals, and client questions between calls.
Email

Formal record

Used for onboarding details, access confirmations, recap notes, final documentation, approvals, and anything your internal team needs archived.

Slack keeps the working workflow clean. Phone keeps the relationship direct. Email keeps the durable record your team can reference later.

Issue intake

Findings are posted with context.

Each issue is shared with affected page, user path, severity, evidence, and the first recommended next step.

Fix discussion

Implementation questions stay connected.

Slack threads keep code notes, design constraints, screenshots, and client feedback tied to the issue being fixed.

Escalation

Blockers move to a phone call.

When a decision affects scope, timeline, user experience, or legal risk, we move it out of async chat and resolve it directly.

Validation updates

Clients see what is closed.

Retest notes and remaining issues stay in the workstream, while final summaries and documentation are sent by email.
