Digital accessibility and AODA compliance, delivered end to end

Under Ontario’s Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, every designated public sector organization and every business or non-profit with fifty or more employees must make its public website and web content meet WCAG 2.0 Level AA. Every business and non-profit with twenty or more employees must file an accessibility compliance report — the next one is due 31 December 2026. The obligation is clear; meeting it is engineering work, and that is what we do.

We have built accessible websites and applications for government, healthcare and the non-profit sector for over a decade, and we built our own monitoring platform, ACHECKS, because the tools we needed did not exist. We maintain an Accessibility Conformance Report for our own site, tested the way we test yours, available on request.

The practice is organized as five services and four sectors. Start with an audit if you need to know where you stand, with remediation if you already have findings, with documents if the problem is PDFs, and with a conformance report if a buyer is asking you to prove it. If you are not sure, the compliance-report guide in Insights explains what is actually required of an organization your size.

How the practice fits together

One method, refined over a decade of public-sector delivery — whichever service you start with

  1. Assess

    Automated scans with ACHECKS, paired with manual expert review and assistive-technology testing, to find every barrier — visible and hidden — and rank it by the harm it does to a real person.

  2. Remediate

    Our developers fix issues at the code level — HTML, CSS, ARIA, scripts, and PDF structure — and hand you the evidence, not just a report.

  3. Prove

    A conformance report your procurement officer can file: an Accessibility Conformance Report on the VPAT template, or the audit report itself, written for the reader who has to sign.

  4. Sustain

    Monitoring, training and documentation, so the site you fixed this year is still compliant when the next compliance report is due.

Where we work in person

Most of the work is remote. Some of it is better in a room.
