Manual Accessibility Remediation Services
Resolve complex accessibility issues at the code level with manual remediation performed by accessibility specialists. We test websites and applications with real assistive technologies, implement targeted fixes, and verify the results against WCAG 2.2.
Manual remediation addresses accessibility barriers that automated scanners cannot reliably evaluate, including reading order, custom components, keyboard interaction, focus management, and screen reader behavior.
Trusted by organizations building more accessible digital experiences.
What is manual accessibility remediation?
Manual accessibility remediation is the hands-on process of identifying, fixing, and validating accessibility issues that require expert testing and human judgment. Automated scanners can identify common technical failures, but they cannot reliably determine whether a custom component works correctly with a keyboard, whether a screen reader announces content in the right order, or whether an error message is actually understandable. Manual remediation addresses these issues directly in the underlying code, including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, application components, and mobile accessibility implementations.
The process combines manual testing, code-level fixes, assistive technology testing, and regression validation to ensure that accessibility improvements work for real users.
What's Included?
Manual accessibility testing
Specialists test websites and applications using keyboard-only navigation, screen readers, and relevant assistive technologies to identify accessibility barriers.
Code-level remediation
Accessibility issues are resolved in the underlying markup, styles, scripts, components, or application code rather than simply suppressing automated warnings.
WCAG success criterion mapping
Each finding is connected to the relevant WCAG success criterion so teams can understand what failed, why it matters, and what was changed.
Assistive technology testing
Remediation is validated using technologies such as NVDA, JAWS, and VoiceOver, depending on the platform and user journey being tested.
Regression testing
Affected pages, components, and user flows are retested after remediation to identify new accessibility issues introduced by the changes.
Accessibility documentation
Completed remediation, remaining issues, and current accessibility status are documented for internal teams, procurement, legal, or accessibility reporting requirements.
Our specialists test accessibility barriers with screen readers and keyboard navigation, fix issues in the underlying code, and retest affected user journeys. Each finding is mapped to WCAG criteria and documented so your team can track what was resolved and what remains.
Who needs manual accessibility remediation?
Organizations with existing audit findings
If an accessibility audit has already identified WCAG issues, manual remediation can turn those findings into actual code-level improvements.
Websites with complex interactions
Custom dropdowns, tabs, accordions, dialogs, filters, checkout processes, and dynamic interfaces often require manual testing to verify their real behavior.
Enterprise websites and applications
Large digital platforms with shared components can require coordinated remediation across templates, design systems, applications, and user journeys.
E-commerce platforms
Product filters, shopping carts, checkout forms, account areas, and payment flows require testing beyond what automated scanners can determine.
Mobile applications
Native and hybrid iOS and Android applications require platform-specific accessibility testing with technologies such as VoiceOver and TalkBack.
Manual remediation can also support WordPress, React, Vue, Angular, Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, custom CMS platforms, and accessible PDF/document workflows, depending on the remediation scope.
How does manual accessibility remediation work?
Scope and audit review
We review your existing audit findings or establish the required scope if current results are unavailable. Pages, templates, components, and user journeys are defined before remediation begins.
Manual testing
Accessibility specialists test the relevant experiences using keyboard navigation, screen readers, and other assistive technologies to confirm the actual accessibility barriers.
Triage and prioritization
Findings are prioritized according to their impact on users, the affected functionality, and the importance of the relevant user journey.
Code-level fixes
Developers implement the required changes to HTML, CSS, JavaScript, ARIA, components, or application code.
Retesting and validation
Every remediation is retested using the appropriate testing methods and assistive technologies. Related pages and shared components are also checked for regression issues.
Documentation
The completed work, remaining issues, WCAG mapping, and accessibility status are documented in a structured report.
Manual remediation follows a structured process from existing findings through implementation and validation.
Standards & regulations we help you meet?
WCAG 2.1
Existing products and accessibility requirements based on WCAG 2.1 can also be included within the remediation scope.
WCAG 2.2
WCAG 2.2 provides the primary technical framework used to identify, remediate, and validate accessibility issues.
EN 301 549
Accessibility requirements for applicable European digital products and services can be incorporated into the remediation process.
ADA
For organizations serving users in the United States, relevant accessibility requirements can be considered alongside technical WCAG remediation.
2025/10 Sayılı Genelge
For organizations covered by Türkiye's 2025/10 accessibility requirements, remediation can be aligned with the applicable accessibility criteria for web and mobile applications.
We document completed remediations, retest results and remaining accessibility issues in structured reports.

Manual remediation focuses on whether the actual user experience works, not simply whether an automated scanner reports fewer errors.
FAQ

It depends on the number of findings and how much of the work sits in shared components. Fixing a design system component once can clear dozens of pages, so scope and structure matter more than page count.
No responsible provider guarantees that, because conformance depends on everything you publish afterwards. What we can do is resolve the identified failures, validate them with assistive technology, and document exactly what was fixed and what remains.
Yes, and that is a common starting point. We review the existing findings, confirm them with our own testing, then implement and validate the fixes.
They solve different problems. Automation handles recurring technical failures at scale; manual remediation handles reading order, custom components, focus management and anything requiring human judgment. Most projects need both.
NVDA and JAWS on Windows, VoiceOver on macOS and iOS, and TalkBack on Android, plus keyboard-only testing. Which combination we use depends on the platform and the user journey.
Yes. Because remediation is validated and mapped to WCAG success criteria, the documentation reflects what was actually fixed rather than what was planned.
