Website Accessibility Remediation Services
Automation clears roughly 80% of common WCAG 2.2 issues in minutes; certified IAAP/CPWA experts remediate the rest at source-code level, validate every fix with real screen readers, and hand you the evidence.
Website accessibility remediation is the process of finding and fixing the accessibility barriers on a website - correcting the code, content and documents that block people with disabilities until the site conforms to WCAG. EqualWeb delivers remediation as a hybrid service that helps you achieve and maintain compliance with the ADA, the European Accessibility Act and WCAG 2.2: automation repairs roughly 80% of common WCAG 2.2 issues immediately, and certified IAAP/CPWA experts remediate the rest at source-code level, validate every fix with real screen readers, and document the outcome - typically up to 30 business days for standard scopes.
How EqualWeb's hybrid remediation model works
Most remediation projects fail in one of two ways: automation-only tools stop at what software can detect, and consultancy-only projects burn months fixing issues a machine could have cleared in minutes. EqualWeb splits the work by what each side does best - AI takes the volume, certified experts take the judgment - so you get speed and depth from the same engagement.
- AI layer - the Accessibility Widget's Auto AI interface automatically fixes 80+ common WCAG 2.2 issues, roughly 80% of typical problems, live within minutes of installing one line of code
- Expert layer - certified IAAP/CPWA specialists remediate what automation cannot judge: semantic structure, labels and instructions, focus management, ARIA, reading order and complex interactions - at source-code level, in your stack or as developer-ready patches
- Assistive-technology validation - every fix is verified with real screen readers (NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver) plus keyboard-only and zoom testing, not just a re-run scan
- Documentation - a remediation report with before-and-after evidence for each issue, and a VPAT / ACR on request
The remediation process, step by step
One engagement, five stages - each with a concrete output, so you always know what has been fixed and what is left.
Audit & issue mapping
Certified experts test your key templates, pages and flows - manually and with automated scans - and map every barrier to its source. Already audited? We start from your existing report.
Prioritized fix plan
Issues are ranked by user impact and legal exposure, then grouped by template and component - so one fix lands everywhere it matters.
Code-level remediation
Our engineers remediate the source: semantics, labels, focus management, ARIA, contrast and dynamic content - in your codebase or as developer-ready patches your team applies.
Assistive-technology validation
Every fix is verified with real screen readers - NVDA, JAWS and VoiceOver - plus keyboard-only navigation and zoom testing.
Documentation & handoff
You receive a remediation report with before-and-after evidence, plus a VPAT / ACR on request - the paper trail procurement and legal teams ask for.

What accessibility remediation fixes
These are the barrier categories that dominate real audits - and real lawsuits. Remediation resolves them at the source, so the fix holds for every user, on every visit, with or without the widget.
- Missing or meaningless alt text - images, icons, buttons and charts get alternatives that convey purpose, not filenames
- Forms and labels - every field gets a real, programmatic label, clear instructions and error messages tied to the right input
- Keyboard traps and focus order - every function works keyboard-only, focus moves in a logical order and never gets stuck
- ARIA roles and states - menus, tabs, accordions and dialogs expose correct roles, names and states to assistive technology
- Heading and landmark structure - a logical heading outline and named page regions that screen reader users can actually navigate
- Color contrast - text meets 4.5:1 (3:1 for large text) and interface components meet 3:1, without wrecking your brand
- Dynamic content - carousels, live updates, modals and single-page views announce changes and keep focus predictable
Documents too: accessible PDF remediation - AI plus certified experts - is available through EqualWeb PDF Tools.
What you get when remediation ends
A remediated site is only half the outcome. The other half is proof - documentation that shows what was broken, what was fixed, and how it was verified.
Remediation report
Every issue found and every fix applied, mapped to WCAG 2.2 success criteria - a clear record of what changed and why.
Before / after evidence
Screenshots, code references and retest results showing each barrier resolved - evidence you can hand to legal, procurement or an auditor.
VPAT / ACR on request
A VPAT 2.2 Accessibility Conformance Report prepared by certified experts - the document RFPs and government buyers ask for.
Ongoing monitoring option
Keep the result: the Accessibility Monitor rescans continuously, tracks a live 0-100 compliance score and flags regressions as content changes.
Who remediation services are for - and how long it takes
No development team
EqualWeb fixes it for you, end to end: the AI layer deploys in minutes, and our engineers remediate the source behind it - you never touch the code.
In-house developers
We audit, prioritize and deliver developer-ready fixes, then validate what your team ships - or start from the standalone Accessibility Audit and keep remediation fully in-house.
Agencies & large estates
Multi-site portfolios, CMS template libraries and design systems - remediated once at the component level, so the fix propagates everywhere.
Timeline: standard scopes run from kickoff to documented validation in typically up to 30 business days. Larger platforms, web applications and multi-site estates are scoped individually - the fixed-price Accessibility Audit packages are the usual entry point, and their prioritized findings become the remediation work list.
