Accessibility remediation that fixes real issues, not just reports
If your team already has an accessibility audit, what you need now is not more theory. You need a partner who will roll up their sleeves, work through the backlog, and get your website or app to a level of WCAG compliance you can actually stand behind.
BYBOWU is a Phoenix, AZ based web and app development agency working with US and global teams on accessibility remediation. We translate WCAG findings into design and code changes that remove barriers for real users, reduce legal exposure, and keep your product fast and maintainable.
When accessibility remediation becomes urgent
Most clients come to us after one of these moments:
- You received an accessibility or WCAG audit but do not have the internal bandwidth or skills to fix the findings.
- A demand letter, internal legal review, or RFP requirement suddenly made compliance non‑negotiable.
- Your design or dev team tried to "fix accessibility" piecemeal and now the codebase feels fragile or inconsistent.
- Automated tools show hundreds of issues and warnings, but you do not know what actually matters or where to start.
- Key user flows like sign‑up, checkout, or booking are not usable with screen readers, keyboard navigation, or low‑vision settings.
Our job is to turn that messy list of issues into a structured remediation plan, then execute it with minimal disruption to your roadmap.
How we approach accessibility remediation
We fix accessibility issues without breaking what already works. That means careful triage, close collaboration with your team, and small, safe batches of changes.
- Review of existing audits and priorities. We start with any WCAG or accessibility reports you already have, including our own Accessibility Audit (WCAG) if we performed one. Together we define legal, contractual, and user‑impact priorities.
- Remediation plan and backlog. We group findings into clear work packages: quick wins, critical blockers, and structural issues. Each item gets an owner, estimated effort, and test plan so you know what you are approving.
- Design and UX updates. Our design team adjusts components, color systems, typography, and interaction patterns so they meet WCAG contrast, focus, and interaction guidelines while still matching your brand.
- Code-level fixes and refactors. We implement changes in your stack using solid engineering practices. That includes semantic HTML, ARIA where appropriate, keyboard support, predictable focus order, and robust error handling.
- Verification with assistive tech. We validate fixes using a mix of automated checks and manual testing with keyboard-only navigation and popular screen readers. For broader QA we can loop in our QA & Testing Services team.
- Documentation and handover. You get updated component guidelines, coding patterns, and checklists so your team does not reintroduce the same issues on the next release.
What you get as concrete remediation deliverables
Every remediation engagement produces a clear set of assets, not just vague "improvements":
- Updated UI components and patterns that meet WCAG 2.1 AA requirements for color, contrast, and focus states.
- Clean, semantic HTML with appropriate landmarks, headings, and ARIA attributes where needed.
- Fixed navigation and interaction flows that work with keyboard-only use and common screen readers.
- Remediated templates and content types in your CMS or design system, so future content stays compliant.
- Issue-by-issue change log that maps original findings to implemented fixes, suitable for internal review or external proof.
- Basic training session and reference guide for your designers, developers, and content editors.
What you can order
- Audit-to-fix sprint — You already have an accessibility or WCAG audit. We translate the report into a prioritized backlog and complete 1–2 focused sprints of fixes on your highest-risk pages and flows.
- Marketing site remediation — Targeted remediation for corporate or marketing websites built on platforms like WordPress, headless CMS, or custom stacks. We focus on navigation, forms, media, and content templates that impact leads and SEO.
- Web app and portal remediation — Deep remediation for SaaS products, customer portals, and dashboards, including complex forms, tables, modals, and custom widgets. Often combined with our Web Development Services or Custom Software Development.
- Ecommerce accessibility fix package — Remediation of product listing pages, product detail pages, cart, and checkout flows so customers can browse and buy with assistive technologies. Works alongside our E-commerce Development services.
- Design system accessibility retrofit — We review and fix the core components in your design system or UI kit, then update documentation so new pages and features are accessible by default.
- Ongoing accessibility support — Monthly or quarterly engagement where we review new releases, patch regressions, and keep your team aligned with evolving standards, often bundled with Support & Maintenance.
How engagement works with BYBOWU
We keep the process straightforward so you can keep moving on your main roadmap.
- 1. Quick intro call. We discuss your current state, existing audits, legal or contract pressures, and tech stack. If we see a fit, we suggest a focused starting package.
- 2. Scope and estimate. You get a concrete proposal that maps issues to phases, explains trade-offs, and sets expectations on budget and timeline. Often this arrives within one business day.
- 3. Remediation sprints. We work in short, visible iterations. You see what is in each sprint, what was fixed, and what is coming next. We integrate with your repo and workflows or keep it isolated, depending on your risk tolerance.
- 4. Validation and sign-off. We walk through fixes with your stakeholders, legal or compliance if needed, and adjust based on feedback and real-world testing.
- 5. Handover or ongoing partnership. We either hand everything over with documentation or stay on to support future launches, new components, and periodic audits.
If you are nearby and want in-person workshops, we can meet in Phoenix. Otherwise, we run everything smoothly over video, tickets, and async channels with clients across time zones.
Why choose BYBOWU for accessibility remediation
- We build and fix, not just audit. Many vendors stop at a report. We are engineers and designers, so we are comfortable working in your codebase and design system to deliver real changes.
- Accessibility balanced with UX and performance. We care about conversion, brand, and speed as much as we care about WCAG. Fixes are implemented in a way that supports SEO, usability, and long-term maintainability.
- Clear communication with stakeholders. We explain issues in plain language that legal, product, and exec teams can understand, and we make trade-offs explicit so you can make informed decisions.
- Experience across sites, apps, and ecommerce. Our portfolio spans marketplaces, portals, and booking platforms, so we are used to solving accessibility in complex interfaces, not only simple brochures.
- Path to long-term accessibility maturity. We do not just patch pages. We help you update components, content practices, and review processes so accessibility becomes part of how you build.
Proof it works in the real world
Marketplace with accessible browsing and checkout
For a modern clothing marketplace, we refined navigation, filters, and checkout flows so that keyboard and screen reader users can browse products and complete orders without getting stuck. The same structural improvements also simplified ongoing content updates.
Roommate finder with clearer flows
On a roommate matching platform, we adjusted forms, error messages, and profile layouts to be navigable without a mouse, improving the experience for users with mobility and cognitive challenges while reducing drop-offs in core flows.
B2B portal with usable data tables
For a wholesaler and dropshipping web app, we remediated complex tables and dashboards so key actions and status information are accessible, making daily operations smoother for all users, including those relying on assistive tech.
Questions founders usually ask
Do we need a full accessibility audit before remediation?
If you already have a recent WCAG or accessibility report, we can work from that. If you do not, we usually start with a focused Accessibility Audit (WCAG) to avoid guessing and to make sure remediation work is defensible.
What budget should we expect for remediation?
Budgets depend on scope. Fixing a handful of templates and key flows is very different from retrofitting a large app or design system. After a quick review of your audit and site or app, we can give you a ballpark and options. You can also see typical ranges on our Prices page.
Can you work within our existing tech stack?
In most cases yes. We regularly work with React, Next.js, Vue, Angular, Laravel, WordPress, and custom stacks. If direct changes are risky, we can start with smaller, low-risk parts of the system or work with your internal team through reviews and pair sessions.
Will remediation slow down our product roadmap?
We plan remediation in parallel with your roadmap, focusing on components and templates that unlock multiple features at once. Often we bake accessibility into upcoming releases instead of stopping everything for a separate track of work.
Can you guarantee full WCAG compliance or legal protection?
No responsible agency can offer a legal guarantee. What we can do is bring your site or app in line with WCAG best practices, document the work, and give you an ongoing plan. That significantly reduces risk and shows that you take accessibility seriously.
What happens after you finish remediation?
You get a clear summary of completed fixes, updated components and patterns, and practical guidance for your team. Many clients also keep us on a light ongoing engagement, or bundle accessibility checks into our Support & Maintenance services.
Talk through your accessibility remediation plan
If you already have an audit, we can usually turn it into a prioritized remediation plan, rough budget, and timeline within one business day.
If you are not sure where to start, we can take a quick look at your site or app, flag obvious risks, and suggest a realistic first phase.
