Independence

Independent accessibility services for organizations seeking a structured, transparent, and evidence-based remediation process. We are not a law firm, do not provide legal advice, and are not a government agency. Accessibility is an ongoing process — no provider can make a website permanently barrier-free for every user, device, and assistive technology.

What we do

Digital accessibility services

Audits grounded in WCAG 2.2 Level AA, hands-on remediation, retesting, and the documentation that lets your organization show the work — to internal teams, counsel, insurers, and stakeholders.

Website Accessibility Audits

Manual and automated assessment against identified WCAG 2.2 AA criteria, with a prioritized issue list, code-level recommendations, and screenshots.

Remediation Planning

A practical, prioritized plan matched to your platform, templates, and team — whether we implement fixes or your developers do.

Accessibility Remediation

Code, content, and design remediation. Supports Shopify, Wix, WordPress, Squarespace, Webflow, BigCommerce, and custom builds.

Remediation Commitment Documentation

A documented remediation commitment: defined scope, milestones, responsible contact, and periodic status review.

Defined-Scope Retesting

Keyboard and screen-reader retesting of the agreed scope after fixes, with conclusions limited to the exact scope and dates tested.

Accessibility Status Records

Time-limited, verifiable public status records with a unique ID — evidence of work performed, without publishing your source code.

Ongoing Monitoring

Periodic checkups and regression testing so new content and releases don't quietly reintroduce barriers.

Accessibility Statements & User Feedback

A transparent accessibility statement and a working channel for users to report barriers — and a process to respond.

Development-Team Guidance

Component-level guidance, design-system reviews, and training support for teams that build and maintain your site.

Where to start

Choose the support your organization needs

Path 1

Assessment

For organizations that need an initial understanding of accessibility barriers and priorities. You receive a scoped audit with findings, severity, and recommendations.

Path 2

Commitment to Remediation

For organizations formally beginning a defined remediation program and needing a documented status record of that active commitment.

Path 3

Remediation and Retesting

For organizations seeking technical remediation assistance, validation, and documented completion of an agreed scope.

Our process

How it works

A transparent sequence from first contact to documented status. Submitting a website does not automatically produce a certificate or badge — statuses are issued only after the applicable program criteria are completed and documented.

  1. Submit the website or digital property for review

    Use the request form with your domain and objectives.

  2. Select the service objective

    Assessment, documented commitment, remediation, retesting, or monitoring.

  3. Receive a scoped proposal and pricing

    Pricing reflects size, templates, complexity, technology, and reporting needs.

  4. Complete assessment and onboarding

    Defined scope, named responsible contact, and methodology are established.

  5. Begin or complete remediation

    We implement fixes, or guide your team while you retain implementation control.

  6. Document findings, actions, and testing

    Dates, methods, milestones, and limitations are recorded as work proceeds.

  7. Status record issued when criteria are satisfied

    The appropriate time-limited status record is issued — and only then.

  8. Continue monitoring if selected

    Periodic retesting and checkups keep the record current as your site changes.

Evidence without exposure

Document remediation activity without publishing your codebase

Organizations can maintain a structured, dated record of accessibility work while keeping proprietary source code, credentials, and confidential details private.

The public verification record

A public record may include:

  • Assessed domain and dates of review
  • Defined scope and testing methodology
  • Applicable accessibility criteria
  • Issue status summaries and remediation milestones
  • Retesting status and known limitations
  • Report identifier and verification ID
  • A hash or identifier associated with a confidential report

The private evidence package

Detailed technical records — full findings, sanitized evidence, screenshots, and retest results — may be provided privately to the client and, subject to the engagement terms, to authorized counsel, experts, insurers, regulators, mediators, or courts.

The public verification record does not independently prove complete legal compliance; it documents defined work, dates, and status.

Accessibility status system

Three clearly defined statuses

Each status has a specific meaning, a defined scope, and a time limit. None of them is a government credential, and none is called — or means — "ADA certified."

Remediation Commitment Active

Status 1 — Remediation Commitment Active

The organization has completed onboarding, defined a remediation scope, and entered an active remediation process.

This status documents an active remediation commitment. It does not represent completed remediation, WCAG conformance, government approval, or a guarantee of legal compliance.

Defined Scope Remediated and Retested

Status 2 — Defined Scope Remediated and Retested

The identified contractual scope has been remediated and retested according to the stated methodology as of a specific date.

This status applies only to the pages, templates, components, content, functionality, test environment, criteria, and dates identified in the applicable record.

Ongoing Accessibility Monitoring

Status 3 — Ongoing Accessibility Monitoring

The organization is participating in a continuing monitoring and support program.

Monitoring status does not mean that no barriers exist or that later website changes will remain accessible.

Each status is displayed through an original badge that links to its public verification record. See badge designs and usage terms.

Why documentation matters

A record of the work, not a promise about outcomes

Creates an organized record of accessibility activity, with dates, methods, milestones, and limitations.

Helps internal teams track progress and keeps remediation from stalling between releases.

Allows counsel and stakeholders to understand the defined scope of what was assessed and remediated.

Documents that remediation activity occurred — evidence of work performed.

Supports continued accessibility governance after the initial project ends.

Gives users a working channel for reporting barriers, and your organization a process to respond.

Independence and choice

Retaining us is voluntary — always

Clients are free to select any qualified accessibility provider. Retaining NY Digital Accessibility is voluntary and does not determine or guarantee the outcome of any complaint, claim, demand, investigation, settlement, or lawsuit.

NY Digital Accessibility does not issue legal demands, negotiate legal claims, or provide legal advice.

NY Digital Accessibility is an independent technical-services and advocacy firm. Clients are free to choose any qualified provider. We do not pay referral fees to attorneys or claimants, receive a percentage of legal fees or settlements, or guarantee that retaining us will affect a complaint, claim, settlement, investigation, or lawsuit.

Understand the work before you buy it

What WCAG 2.2 Level AA covers

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines are the most widely referenced technical standard for web accessibility. Level AA covers keyboard operability, contrast, structure, labels, error handling, and more. An audit assesses your site against identified criteria — automated tools alone cannot establish conformance.

Why overlays aren't remediation

Overlay widgets that promise one-line fixes do not repair underlying code, and can interfere with the assistive technologies users already run. Our approach is standards-based remediation of the actual markup, styles, scripts, and content.

What "defined scope" means

Accessibility findings are always tied to specific pages, templates, components, functionality, environments, criteria, and dates. A serious record states its scope plainly — and what falls outside it.

About us

About NY Digital Accessibility

NY Digital Accessibility Compliance Group is a New York–based web accessibility audit, remediation, and advocacy firm. We advance web accessibility through structured technical audits performed with experienced accessibility testers who evaluate websites using assistive technologies such as NVDA, JAWS, and VoiceOver.

Many websites still fail to meet accessibility requirements, creating barriers for users who rely on assistive technologies. Our reports provide actionable guidance for accessibility improvements — because accessibility improves access for real people first, and supports responsible organizational governance second.

Not a law firm. NY Digital Accessibility Compliance Group is not a law firm. We do not provide legal advice, direct litigation, or represent individuals. All legal matters are handled by licensed attorneys independently retained by the parties. Our services are provided at fixed rates and are unrelated to legal outcomes.

Questions, answered plainly

Frequently asked questions

What does an accessibility audit include?

Automated testing, manual testing, keyboard testing, screen-reader testing, user-flow testing, and component/template review against identified WCAG 2.2 AA criteria — delivered as a prioritized issue list with code-level recommendations and screenshots. Every audit states its scope and its limitations.

What is a "Remediation Commitment Active" status?

It documents that an organization completed onboarding, defined a remediation scope, and entered an active remediation process. It does not represent completed remediation, WCAG conformance, government approval, or a guarantee of legal compliance.

Is a commitment status the same as WCAG conformance?

No. A commitment status documents that a remediation program is underway. Conformance-related conclusions are only ever expressed for a defined scope, methodology, and date — and even then as an assessment against identified criteria, not a blanket guarantee.

Is NY Digital Accessibility a government agency?

No. We are a private, independent accessibility-services firm. No badge or record we issue is issued or endorsed by the U.S. government or any government agency.

Is NY Digital Accessibility a law firm?

No. We do not provide legal advice or legal representation, and engaging us does not create an attorney-client relationship. Legal questions belong with licensed counsel of your choosing.

Does a certificate guarantee legal compliance?

No. No certificate, badge, or status record guarantees compliance with the ADA or any other law. Our records document defined work, dates, methods, and status — determinations about legal compliance are made by courts and regulators, not vendors.

Can a status record prevent a lawsuit?

No. Nothing prevents a person from making a complaint or filing a claim, and we do not control any claimant, attorney, lawsuit, settlement, or legal outcome. A record documents your organization's accessibility activity; what weight it carries in any dispute is for others to decide.

Can an organization document remediation without publishing source code?

Yes. The public verification record contains scope, dates, methodology, status, and limitations — never source code, credentials, or private issue details. Detailed technical evidence stays in the private report, which can be shared with authorized parties under the engagement terms.

What is included in a verification record?

Organization name, assessed domain, verification ID, current status and record state, issue and review dates, defined public scope, standard and methodology, milestone summary, known public limitations, status history, and a channel for reporting barriers.

What does "defined scope" mean?

The exact pages, templates, components, content, functionality, test environments, criteria, and dates an engagement covers. Findings and statuses apply to that scope only — not to pages we never tested or changes made after testing.

Does automated testing establish conformance?

No. Automated tools catch a subset of issues and miss many others. Manual review — keyboard, screen readers, structure, flows — is required, and even a full audit is an assessment against identified criteria as of a date, not a permanent guarantee.

Which accessibility standard is used?

WCAG 2.2 Level AA is our default reference standard. Engagements identify the specific criteria assessed.

How quickly can a "Remediation Commitment Active" status be issued?

Often the same day onboarding is completed. Onboarding is deliberately lightweight: a signed agreement, a short intake questionnaire, an agreed list of what's covered, a point of contact on your side, and a remediation plan we draft with you. Once those exist, the status and badge are issued and the public record goes live. What can't happen is issuance on payment alone with no defined program — that would make the record meaningless for everyone who relies on it, including you.

How long is a badge or status record valid?

Statuses are time-limited — most programs run on 12- or 24-month terms, set in the engagement. Each record shows its issue date and its review or expiration date, and expired records are marked as expired rather than deleted.

What happens when a website changes?

Changes after testing can introduce new barriers, and conclusions do not extend to content or code we haven't reviewed. Material changes call for reassessment; ongoing monitoring exists precisely for this.

Can a badge be suspended or revoked?

Yes. If qualifying conditions are no longer met — for example, a remediation program is abandoned or a record would otherwise become inaccurate or misleading — we may decline, suspend, expire, or revoke a status. The public record reflects the change.

Can counsel or an insurer receive a private report?

Yes, subject to the engagement terms. Detailed reports can be provided to the client's authorized counsel, experts, insurers, regulators, mediators, or courts through the client's authorization.

What assistive technologies are considered?

Our testers work with screen readers such as NVDA, JAWS, and VoiceOver, alongside keyboard-only testing. Each report documents the environments actually tested — we do not claim compatibility with every assistive technology in every circumstance.

How can a user report an accessibility problem?

Email remediation@nydigitalaccessibility.com. For client sites, each verification record lists the reporting channel. We also help organizations set up their own accessibility statement and feedback process.

How is pricing determined?

By website size, number of templates, user-flow complexity, technology stack, third-party integrations, audit depth, remediation responsibility, testing requirements, timeline, reporting needs, and monitoring frequency. You receive a scoped proposal after we review your request — we do not publish one-size-fits-all prices, and payment alone never results in a status record.

If my legal matter resolves, can I get a refund?

Refund and cancellation terms live in each signed agreement, but the principle is consistent: fees pay for work performed and documentation maintained — audits run, fixes made, records kept current — not for any legal outcome. The resolution, settlement, or dismissal of a complaint or lawsuit doesn't undo that work, so it isn't grounds for a refund.

Can an organization submit a website that is already involved in a dispute?

Yes. NY Digital Accessibility remains an independent technical provider in every engagement. Engaging us does not affect the legal claims themselves, and we do not provide legal advice — your counsel directs the legal side while we do the technical work and document it. Do not send confidential legal materials through the public form; if counsel needs to coordinate, we will arrange an appropriate channel.
