We believe that great websites are not only fast and visible in search results—they're also usable by everyone. Accessibility isn't an optional add-on; it's a core part of modern web optimization, user experience, and legal responsibility.
We integrate regular accessibility audits and proactive compliance planning into all of our monthly SEO plans. This means your site gets ongoing checks for common barriers, helping you stay ahead of issues without needing a separate vendor or one-time overhaul. While no service can guarantee instant full compliance (due to site complexity, CMS limitations, third-party tools, and evolving standards), our approach keeps your site moving consistently in the right direction.
When accessibility testing comes up, mobile devices are often mentioned—but the testing itself usually stops too early.
A common pattern we see is testing a site on mobile at 100% zoom, confirming it looks fine, and moving on.
As the April 2026 accessibility deadline approaches, many small municipalities and public organizations are only now realizing what’s required — and how much work may be involved.
If that sounds familiar, you’re not behind because you didn’t care. You’re behind because accessibility requirements weren’t always this clear, budgets are tight, and most local governments don’t have full-time web teams.
We work with organizations in that exact position.
Update:
February 2026 -
There are free, open source plugins available for accessibility audits. You do not need a subscription or 3rd party service. The script we use and recommend is called Editoria11y.

I recommend using this tool to confirm your site is accessible:
accessibilitychecker.org
Alternatives:
AccessiBe - I tested the AccessiBe platform and their accessibility widget is blocked by uBlock and other popular ad blocking scripts. My suggestion is to fix the underlying issues by making the adjustments in your CMS, or at the server level, rather than relying on a third party 'band aid widget'
