Websites and documents that work for everyone in your community

Website testing, PDF and document remediation, WCAG training, and ADA compliance guidance for local governments, schools, nonprofits, healthcare, and businesses. Tested by people who use assistive technology, reported in plain language, and backed by training so the fixes last.

Why Now

Four federal rules, one standard: WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines).

Depending on who you are and where your funding comes from, one or more of these rules may apply to you.

ADA Title II

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Suspendisse varius enim in eros elementum tristique.
WCAG 2.1 Level AA
Deadlines: April 26, 2027 for populations of 50,000 or more; April 26, 2028 for smaller entities and special districts. Extended one year by DOJ in April 2026.

Section 504

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Suspendisse varius enim in eros elementum tristique.
WCAG 2.1 Level AA
Deadlines: May 11, 2027 for 15 or more employees; May 10, 2028 for fewer than 15. Extended one year by HHS in May 2026.

Section 508

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Suspendisse varius enim in eros elementum tristique.
WCAG 2.1 Level AA
In effect now. Ask vendors for a current VPAT and test before you buy.

ADA Title III and Title I

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Suspendisse varius enim in eros elementum tristique.
WCAG 2.1 AA (settlement benchmark)
No fixed date. Thousands of web accessibility suits are filed each year; overlays have not stopped them.

Dates reflect the DOJ and HHS interim final rules as of September 2026 and are for planning only. Confirm your obligations with counsel; DNEM can help you work through the analysis.

Where to Start

Select your organization to see your dates and first steps

Where cities, counties, and townships usually start

The DOJ Title II web rule requires WCAG 2.1 AA for your website, web apps, and posted documents. Most start with a baseline review, size the document work, and train content authors so departments stop creating new barriers.

Our Services

From the first scan to the last training. Each service stands alone or fits into a plan. Open "What you receive" for the details.

Website Accessibility Review & Report

‍

Every page scanned, key pages tested manually, and a report both your developer and your leadership can use.

  • Site-wide automated scan with DNEM's Website Access Lens: WCAG 2.0, 2.1, and 2.2 A/AA checks on every reachable page, plus PDF link and missing alt-text counts.
  • Manual testing of key pages and tasks with keyboard only and JAWS and NVDA screen readers, including zoom, contrast, forms, and error messages.
  • Findings grouped by root cause, each with severity, why it matters, WCAG criterion, affected element, recommended fix, and how to verify it.
What you receive

Deliverables

  • One-page leadership snapshot: issue groups, critical and serious counts, pages tested, PDFs found and number of images missing alternative text.
  • Numbered issues with plain-language "why it matters," element locators, and a repair order (Priority 1 to Priority 4).
  • A VPAT-style conformance summary for procurement files or your accessibility statement.
  • A re-test after fixes to document progress and good-faith effort.

Good to know

  • Scope depends on page count and platform (CivicEngage, WordPress, Webflow, Finalsite, Blackbaud, etc.); we scope before we quote.
  • We test vendor tools with limited access (payment portals, permits, registration) and flag which findings belong to the vendor.
  • We do not sell or recommend overlay widgets. They do not fix the underlying code and though this is a good faith effort, complaints can still happen.
PDF & Document Inventory, Triage, and Remediation

‍

Find every document on your site, decide what to keep, fix, convert, or retire, and make the high-risk ones accessible first.

  • Full inventory of the PDFs, Word files, and spreadsheets on your website, each checked for tags, reading order, language, title, color contrast, links, structure and form fields.
  • Remediation workbook recommending a fix for every file, with priority and form-risk flags.
  • Remediation of priority documents in Acrobat Pro with manual screen-reader checks, or coaching so your staff can do it.
