Services · Audit and Remediate

Find what blocks people, ranked by what to fix first.

A full Section 508 and WCAG 2.2 AA review of your site, app, or documents. Every issue comes with who it blocks, where it lives, and what it costs to fix.

What we test

People test. Tools help.

  • Screen readers

    NVDA, JAWS and VoiceOver on the pages and tasks that matter most to your users.

  • Keyboard and focus

    Every control reachable without a mouse, focus always visible, nothing that traps it.

  • Zoom, reflow and contrast

    Pages at 200% and 400% zoom, reflow at 320 pixels wide, and contrast for text, icons and controls.

  • Forms and errors

    Labels, instructions, error messages and time limits, so people can finish what they started.

  • Automated scans

    Scans across the full site catch repeated patterns at scale. They find a fraction of issues, so they never decide a pass.

  • Linked documents

    The PDFs and Office files your pages link to, checked against PDF/UA and WCAG.

How it runs

Five steps, one owner.

  1. Scope

    We agree on the pages, flows, documents and standard (Section 508, WCAG 2.2 AA, or both).

  2. Test

    Manual testing with assistive technology, plus automated scans.

  3. Rank

    Each issue gets its WCAG criterion, severity, who it blocks and an effort estimate.

  4. Walk through

    A working session with your designers and developers, not a PDF dropped in an inbox.

  5. Retest

    We verify the fixes and update your report.

What you get

A plan your team can act on.

  • A ranked remediation plan

    Issues sorted by impact, not a findings dump.

  • Document remediation

    Tagged, verified PDFs and Office files when your documents need fixing too.

  • An accessibility statement

    Plain-language, published on your site, with a way for people to report problems.

Her focus on inclusivity elevated our work and helped us design better, and design for everyone.

IMPORTANT ACCESSIBILITY INFORMATION

INDICATION: Design Lady is indicated for organizations whose websites, documents, and campaigns must work for every person who uses them.

Do not launch if your site has images without alt text, text contrast below 4.5:1, or form fields without labels.

SIDE EFFECTS of inaccessible design may include lost customers, failed procurement reviews, and federal lawsuits (3,117 filed in 2025).

Tell your developer if you rely on an overlay widget. In 2025, 24.9% of website accessibility lawsuits targeted sites that had one installed.
