Why accessibility isn't a one-time fix
Accessibility is a moving target. Every blog post, product image, PDF, or embedded form is a chance to introduce missing alt text, a broken heading order, or a color-contrast failure. An audit is a snapshot, but your site changes constantly. Monitoring watches the pages that actually change and flags regressions before a visitor — or a demand letter — finds them.
- Automated scans against WCAG 2.1/2.2 AA success criteria on a recurring schedule
- Alt-text, heading structure, color contrast, form-label, and focus-order checks
- Manual keyboard and screen-reader spot checks on your key templates and flows
- Regression alerts when a new page or update drops below your baseline
- A prioritized issue list — critical blockers first, cosmetic last
What automated tools catch, and what they miss
Automated scanners are fast and catch the machine-detectable share of issues: contrast, missing labels, ARIA misuse. But they can't judge whether alt text is actually meaningful, whether a custom widget is truly operable by keyboard, or whether your video has real captions. Honest monitoring pairs tooling with periodic human review so you aren't lulled by a green dashboard that misses real barriers.
- Scanners flag detectable failures; humans verify usability with assistive tech
- We test real tasks — navigation, checkout, form submission, menus
- Accessibility overlay widgets are not a fix and can create new problems; we'll say so honestly
- Documentation of what was checked, when, and what remains open
- Plain guidance for your content team so new posts stay compliant

Frequently asked questions
Does monitoring guarantee I won't get an ADA lawsuit?
No one can honestly promise that — accessibility is about reducing real barriers and risk, not a legal shield. What monitoring does is keep known issues fixed, catch new ones early, and give you a documented record of ongoing good-faith effort. Let's review your site on a free consultation.
Which standard do you monitor against?
WCAG 2.1/2.2 Level AA, which is the benchmark most ADA-related claims and settlements reference. If your industry requires a stricter internal bar, we can align to it.
How often are scans run?
It depends on how often your site changes. A frequently updated content site benefits from more frequent scans than a static brochure site. We size the cadence to your publishing rhythm during the consultation.
