Agile Accessibility Services
Integrate accessibility into your existing Scrum or Kanban workflow with accessibility user stories, design reviews, sprint testing, and WCAG 2.2 acceptance criteria — so accessibility issues are identified while they are still easier to fix.
Your team keeps its existing development process while accessibility becomes part of planning, design, development, testing, and the Definition of Done.
Trusted by organizations building more accessible digital experiences.
Why does your organization need agile accessibility services?
Accessibility issues become harder to resolve when they are discovered after a feature has already been designed, developed, and released.
Agile accessibility integrates accessibility requirements into the development process from the beginning. Accessibility user stories, design reviews, automated testing, manual testing, and acceptance criteria become part of the sprint workflow your team already follows.
This approach helps teams address accessibility issues earlier while reducing the risk of accessibility debt accumulating across new features and reusable components.
What agile accessibility services do we offer?
Accessibility user stories
Add accessibility requirements directly to user stories so accessibility becomes part of the feature requirements and Definition of Done.
Design accessibility reviews
Review designs for accessibility considerations such as color contrast, focus order, target size, and interaction patterns before development begins.
Developer accessibility guidance
Provide practical guidance for implementing accessible components, keyboard interactions, forms, dialogs, navigation, and other interface patterns.
Sprint accessibility testing
Test new functionality within the sprint with keyboard, screen reader, and automated checks so issues are caught before the increment ships.
WCAG 2.2 acceptance criteria
Turn WCAG success criteria into acceptance criteria your team can verify, so accessibility is part of how a story is marked complete.
Automated checks in your pipeline
Add accessibility checks to your existing CI pipeline so regressions are reported alongside the rest of your test results.
We bring accessibility into each stage of your workflow, from defining feature requirements and reviewing designs to guiding developers as they build.
What is the difference between agile accessibility and an accessibility audit?
Agile accessibility and accessibility audits serve different purposes. Agile accessibility integrates accessibility into the ongoing product development process. Requirements, design reviews, testing, and accessibility checks happen throughout the sprint lifecycle.
An accessibility audit provides a more comprehensive assessment of an existing website, application, or digital product against applicable accessibility criteria.
Agile accessibility helps prevent new accessibility issues from accumulating, while an audit can identify accessibility issues that already exist across a digital product.
Who needs an accessibility audit?
Sprint planning
Accessibility requirements are considered alongside functional requirements and added to relevant user stories.
Design review
Accessibility considerations are reviewed before designs move into development, helping teams identify issues while changes are still easier to make.
Development guidance
Developers receive practical, component-level recommendations while implementing features.
Sprint testing
New functionality is tested for keyboard accessibility, screen reader behavior, focus management, forms, interactions, and other relevant accessibility requirements.
Accessibility is considered at every stage of the sprint, from defining requirements and reviewing designs to supporting developers and testing new features.
Why WeAccess.Ai instead of a basic checker?
| Basic accessibility checker | WeAccess.Ai agile accessibility |
|---|---|
| Primarily identifies detectable issues | YesIntegrates accessibility into the development workflow |
| Focuses mainly on automated checks | YesCombines automated and manual accessibility testing |

Agile accessibility is not simply another automated scan. It connects accessibility requirements, implementation, testing, and continuous improvement within the product development process.
How do we identify and resolve accessibility issues?
Identify
Add accessibility requirements directly to user stories so accessibility becomes part of the feature requirements and Definition of Done.
Prioritize
Issues are evaluated according to their user impact, technical context, and relevance to the feature being developed.
Verify
The updated feature is retested to confirm that the accessibility issue has been addressed.
Resolve
Developers receive practical recommendations for addressing accessibility issues within the relevant component or user journey.
Improve
Recurring issues can be incorporated into design systems, development guidelines, and reusable components to reduce future accessibility defects.
Agile accessibility combines automated checks, expert review, and manual testing to identify issues throughout the development lifecycle.
Why choose our agile accessibility consulting team?
Experience with agile product team
We work within existing Scrum and Kanban workflows so accessibility requirements can become part of the team's normal product development process.
Accessibility expertise across design and development
Our approach connects design accessibility, development guidance, automated testing, and manual accessibility testing within the same workflow.
Sprint-based accessibility support
Accessibility reviews and testing are aligned with the features your team is actively developing instead of being separated from the product lifecycle.
Manual and automated testing experience
We combine automated accessibility testing with keyboard, screen reader, and user journey testing to identify issues that automated tools alone may not detect.
Long-term accessibility improvement
Recurring accessibility issues can be transformed into reusable patterns, design guidance, and development practices that help teams improve accessibility over time.

No. An audit gives you a comprehensive picture of an existing product at a point in time; agile accessibility keeps new work from adding to that list. Most teams start with an audit to clear the backlog, then run agile accessibility so the backlog stops growing.
Consulting sets the strategy, ownership, and standards across the organization. Agile accessibility is the delivery side of that: it lives inside your sprints, in user stories, design reviews, and the Definition of Done.
It helps but it is not required to start. We work with your existing product owner, designers, and developers, and over time a champion usually emerges naturally as the team builds confidence.
In the first sprints expect a small overhead while the team learns the acceptance criteria. Once the patterns are in place the cost mostly disappears, because fixing an issue in design or development is far cheaper than reworking a released feature.
Yes, and that is the usual setup. Remediation clears what already exists while agile accessibility governs everything new, so the two run in parallel without competing for the same backlog.
Anything from a single squad to a multi-team programme. For larger organizations we start with one team, settle the patterns and acceptance criteria there, then roll the same workflow out to the rest.
