What we specialize in within digital accessibility

Every accessibility project is different, but the technical challenges fall into recurring competence areas. In each of these areas we have built solid experience over the years and developed proven solution approaches.

The following scenarios describe typical starting situations with which companies approach us. They illustrate the type of challenges we regularly solve without referencing specific client projects.

Every accessibility project follows a structured process that has proven itself in over 50 projects. The process is modular: depending on the starting situation, individual phases can be skipped or expanded.

Our accessibility experience spans various industries and project types. Accessibility requirements are normatively identical, but industry-specific challenges vary: an online shop poses different requirements than a customer portal or an informational corporate website.

The ongoing evolution of our audit methodology ensures that our assessments always reflect the current state of WCAG standards and assistive technologies. We continuously invest in our team's professional development and the evaluation of new testing tools.

Complementing manual tests, we deploy automated CI checks that verify basic accessibility criteria with every deployment and prevent regressions. This combination of manual expertise and automated safeguarding ensures sustainable conformance across the entire lifecycle of your web presence.

The quality of our audit results and remediation work is non-negotiable for us. Every audit report is created using the four-eyes principle: one auditor conducts the testing, a second auditor reviews results for completeness and accuracy. This procedure ensures no barrier is overlooked and that solution proposals are technically correct and practically feasible. Our audit methodology follows the W3C's WCAG-EM (Website Accessibility Conformance Evaluation Methodology) and EN 301 549 Annex C, ensuring reproducibility and comparability of our results.

For remediation we work exclusively on staging environments: every change is tested and validated before being deployed to production. Automated regression tests ensure accessibility improvements do not impair existing functionality and that fixed barriers are not reintroduced by later changes. We document every change with before-after comparison, affected WCAG criterion and explanation of the measure taken. This documentation serves not only traceability but also as learning material for your development team.

Our competence spans the entire spectrum of modern web development. Server-side we work with common CMS platforms, Shopware Community Edition and custom frameworks. Client-side we master React, Vue, Angular and Svelte as well as classic server-side rendering. For testing we deploy axe-core, Pa11y, Playwright, Lighthouse and the three most widely used screen readers (NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver). This technological breadth enables us to make the right decisions in every project context and implement solutions that fit the existing architecture.

Particularly important to us is the connection of accessibility expertise with general web development competence. We understand not only which ARIA attributes a tab widget needs but also how the framework-specific implementation must look: how to connect state management in React with ARIA live regions, how Svelte stores can be used for focus management or how Vue transition hooks are synchronized with ARIA announcements. This deep technical expertise distinguishes our work from generic accessibility consultancies that know the standards but not the technical means to implement them in practice.

The success of an accessibility project can be measured by several objective criteria. The WCAG conformance degree, the proportion of met success criteria, provides a clear indicator: before remediation our clients typically stand at 40 to 60 percent conformance, after remediation at over 95 percent. The remaining percentage often concerns aspects not fully within the website operator's control, such as third-party widgets or CMS limitations (project experience).

Beyond normative conformance our clients regularly observe improvements in general website metrics: the Lighthouse Accessibility Score typically rises to over 95 out of 100 points. Core Web Vitals improve as semantic HTML and clean code positively affect rendering performance. Bounce rate decreases because improved forms, clearer navigation and logical page structure enhance the general user experience. These side effects of accessibility optimization make it one of the most economically sensible investments in website quality (project experience).

The breadth of our project experience extends from small corporate websites with ten pages to complex e-commerce platforms with thousands of product pages and multi-step purchase processes. In every project we bring the same thoroughness and methodology, adapted to the respective context and specific challenges. Whether you need a quick audit to assess your BFSG conformance or are planning a comprehensive transformation of your entire digital landscape: we have the experience and methodology to successfully deliver your project. Contact us for a confidential conversation about your requirements.

Beyond technical competence we are distinguished by our ability to communicatecommunicate complex accessibility requirements understandably. Our audit reports are written not just for developers but also contain a management summary that summarizes key results and risks for executives on one page. Our training courses are practical and audience-appropriate: developers receive code examples, designers receive visual references and editors receive CMS-specific instructions. This communication competence ensures accessibility knowledge is anchored throughout your entire company, not just with technical teams.
