Site Monitoring and Reporting

If you would like to know where your site stands in regard to accessibility, we can provide reports to help you understand your accessibility issues and how to fix them.

Monitoring

If you have a dynamic, constantly changing site, our monitoring service can alert you to accessibility issues that may arise. And while we use the reporting mechanisms of the WAVEevaluation tool, our monitoring and reporting is done by a person - an accessibility expert. Automated accessibility reports can be helpful, but they can also be deceptive. Human evaluation is the only method by which true accessibility can be verified. Our staff is skilled in detecting accessibility issues for all disability categories using automated testing, user testing, and assistive technologies to evaluate your site. We provide thorough, easy-to-understand reports that identify the issues, explain what the issues are, and provide you with resources and knowledge to remedy the issue.

Brief accessibility summary for $350

Not sure where to begin? Consider a brief accessibility review of your site. Starting at $350, an accessibility expert will review your site and provide you with:

• A list of the high-profile accessibility and usability errors.
• Recommendations for remediation.
• Suggestions for next steps based on your specific site and needs.

This summary is usually three to five pages in length. It is a great starting point for larger sites and is also a valuable service for small-scale websites with very limited budgets.

In-depth report

If you have a larger site, or if you need to document conformance to a certain accessibility standard, then you will need an in-depth report of the accessibility of your site.

This report can be organized any number of ways, including the following:

• By severity: Some violations are more serious than others.
• By checkpoint or standard: Usually, our reports are based on Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act or by WCAG 1.0 (the international accessibility guidelines written by the Worldwide Web Consortium).
• By web page.
• Perhaps most valuable of all, we can also organize the report by suggested order of repair. This takes several factors into account, including prominence of the error, seriousness of the error and ease of repair.

The report will also include documentation of specific accessibility and usability errors, code samples, resources, and recommendations that can be used to fix accessibility issues. We won’t just tell you what’s wrong; we'll tell you how to fix it.
