We Help You Meet Global Accessibility Standards
Whether you're aiming for compliance with North American laws, European requirements, or international best practices, we’ll guide you every step of the way—with a focus on usability, not just checklists. Our process is thorough, human-centered, and backed by deep expertise in accessibility design and development.
At Pragmatica, we believe digital accessibility is not just a legal obligation—it's a design responsibility. Our manual website accessibility audits help you create a more inclusive online experience for all users, including those who navigate the web with screen readers, keyboard-only navigation, or assistive technologies.
We help you go beyond compliance checklists by improving real usability, addressing pain points, and identifying gaps that automated tools often miss.
We integrate accessibility into every stage of our process, from design to code. We follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA as our baseline, ensuring high color contrast, logical heading structures, and full keyboard navigability. This ensures your site is usable for individuals with visual, auditory, motor, or cognitive disabilities.
Absolutely. We help our clients navigate specific legal requirements, including the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) in Canada and Section 508 in the United States. We ensure your digital presence meets these legal mandates to protect your organization from liability and, more importantly, to ensure inclusive access for all citizens.
Yes. Part of our hand-off process includes helping you draft a clear, transparent Accessibility Statement. This page communicates your commitment to inclusivity, outlines the standards you meet, and provides a clear way for users to request assistance, which is a key requirement for many regulatory frameworks.
Yes. We offer comprehensive accessibility audits that go beyond automated testing. Our team performs manual reviews and uses screen readers (like NVDA or VoiceOver) to identify barriers that software alone might miss. We provide a prioritized remediation roadmap to help your organization reach compliance efficiently.
Complex elements are where accessibility often fails. We use WAI-ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes to provide the necessary context to assistive technologies. For forms, we ensure clear labeling and error identification; for maps, we provide alternative text descriptions or tabular data views so the information is accessible to everyone.
At Pragmatica, we believe accessibility should be "baked in," not "bolted on." Many automated overlays fail to fix underlying structural issues and can even interfere with screen readers. We focus on native accessibility, building clean, semantic code that works across all devices and assistive technologies without the need for buggy third-party plugins.
Our accessibility audits are ideal for:
Organizations serving the public, including healthcare providers, government services, and nonprofits
eCommerce businesses looking to reduce legal risk and serve a broader customer base
Educational institutions focused on inclusive online learning
Design and dev teams needing expert guidance to build accessible products from the ground up.
Whether you're looking to improve an existing website or launch an accessible new product, we tailor our approach to your goals.
