Practical WCAG reviews your team can actually use

HPS Accessibility provides manual WCAG accessibility reviews for websites, SaaS applications, and public-facing digital products. Our reviews include keyboard testing, screen reader evaluation, semantic HTML and ARIA review, prioritized findings, and developer-ready remediation guidance — not just an automated scan report.

Why Manual Accessibility Testing Matters

Automated accessibility tools identify approximately 30–40% of WCAG failures. The remaining issues — keyboard traps, missing focus management, screen reader announcement problems, form label mismatches, and dynamic content failures — require human judgment and real interaction testing. HPS Accessibility reviewers test your product the way users with disabilities actually use it: with keyboards, screen readers, and real user workflows.

Keyboard-only navigation testing confirms that every interactive element is reachable and operable without a mouse. Screen reader review evaluates how components are announced, whether live regions update correctly, and whether dynamic content changes are communicated to assistive technology users. Focus management testing verifies that modals, drawers, and dynamic interfaces move focus correctly when content opens and closes.

Accessibility Services

WCAG 2.2 AA Reviews

A structured review against WCAG 2.2 Level AA success criteria — covering perceivability, operability, understandability, and robustness — with prioritized findings, WCAG criterion references, reproduction steps, and practical remediation guidance for development teams.

Section 508 Reviews

Section 508-aware reviews for federal agencies, healthcare organizations, educational institutions, and government contractors. We evaluate functional performance criteria and technical standards applicable to web content, applications, and documentation.

Accessibility Audits

Formal evaluation producing documented evidence of conformance gaps, severity ratings, and remediation priorities. Audit deliverables include executive summaries and developer-level technical findings suitable for planning, procurement responses, and governance reporting.

Remediation Consulting

Implementation-level guidance for development teams applying accessibility fixes. We provide corrected code patterns for common component types — modals, dropdowns, data tables, carousels — and review proposed fixes before deployment.

Retesting

After your team applies fixes, we retest previously documented findings and produce an updated status report with before-and-after evidence. Retesting provides a documented record of accessibility progress suitable for VPAT preparation and governance reporting.

Accessibility Program Support

Ongoing quarterly or semi-annual review coverage, remediation consulting, and retesting across product releases and platform updates. Programs are available for single-product teams and multi-site enterprise organizations.

Who We Work With

We work with SaaS product teams, web development agencies, healthcare organizations, higher education institutions, government contractors, small businesses, and public-facing organizations that need practical accessibility improvement rather than automated scan reports. We do not sell accessibility overlays, instant compliance tools, or guaranteed conformance claims.

Our Review Process

Every engagement begins with discovery to understand your product, technology stack, and goals. We define scope, run automated analysis to establish a baseline, then conduct manual testing of keyboard behavior, screen reader compatibility, focus management, and real user workflows. Findings are documented with severity ratings, WCAG criterion references, reproduction steps, and remediation guidance. Retesting is available after your team applies fixes.
