Capability · Accessibility
WCAG 2.2 AA is the floor, not the ceiling.
The ADA Title II final rule lands fully on April 26, 2027 for state and local government entities serving populations of 50,000+. USG, most HBCUs, and most state-flagship systems are in scope. We build to WCAG 2.2 AA as equivalent facilitation, ship VPATs and ACRs as deliverables, and verify against axe-core, WAVE, VoiceOver, and NVDA before launch.
How we work
Audit, remediate, govern, report.
01
Audit
Pre-build conformance risk audit against WCAG 2.2 AA, mapped to the design system. Contrast matrices, keyboard traversal contracts, screen-reader acceptance criteria.
02
Remediate
Issue-by-issue remediation with severity tagging (critical / major / minor). Each fix lands as a documented PR with axe-core regression coverage.
03
Govern
ESLint rules blocking raw hex in components. CI runs axe-core on home, hub, capabilities, contact, and a representative case study. Build fails on any serious or critical violation.
04
Report
VPAT 2.4 Rev 508 drafted for the deliverable. Public accessibility statement with conformance date. Annual external audit, quarterly internal scan, 2-business-day response to user-reported issues.
Standards
The frameworks we map every deliverable against.
WCAG 2.2 Level AA
Latest stable WCAG conformance level. Exceeds the WCAG 2.1 AA federal floor under ADA Title II as equivalent facilitation.
ADA Title II final rule (28 CFR Part 35)
Ready ahead of the April 26, 2027 deadline for state and local government entities serving populations of 50,000+. Applies to USG institutions and most HBCUs.
Section 508 / Revised 508 Standards
WCAG 2.2 AA satisfies. We document conformance in VPAT 2.4 Rev 508 for procurement deliverables.
FERPA-aware data handling
Educational records never sit in marketing tables without explicit role-based access. Encrypted Data Extensions, row-level controls, audited data dictionaries.
