Are there hidden accessibility barriers on your website?

Accessibility in Practice

Does your website look great but people still drop off before buying, booking, or signing up? Most small business owners don’t realize accessibility might be the reason. Your site might “pass” an automated scan or look fine visually, but still be impossible to use for people navigating by keyboard, screen reader, or other assistive tech. Automated tools don’t test whether someone can actually fill out a form, complete a purchase, book a service, or make a donation. That’s where accessibility issues tend to hide. In fact, WebAIM’s 2025 Million report found that 94.8% of the top 1,000,000 home pages had detectable Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) failures. That’s where I come in. I run hands-on accessibility reviews that go beyond automated tools. I test your site like a real user would and translate the findings into clear, prioritized fixes you can implement or hand to your developer or designer. Ways to work together: 1. Full Website Accessibility Audit (deep review across your site) 2. Homepage-Only Mini Audit (fast check of your most-visited page) 3. PDF Accessibility Conversion (make PDFs usable with screen readers) 4. Alt Text Writing Packages (product photos, homepage images, posts) 5. Email Signature Accessibility Review (fix a common, overlooked barrier) 6. Social Media Accessibility Quick Review (graphics, captions, links, video basics) and more! What you’ll get (always): 1. Plain-language results 2. A prioritized fix list 3. Practical guidance you can use right away Our approach Transparent pricing • Fast turnaround • WCAG-aligned • ADA/Section 508–informed • Bay Area + remote clients If your site is hard to use, it’s hard to grow. Prioritizing accessibility helps more people access your content, services, and opportunities. contact@accessibilityinpractice.com
