Accessibility

Digital Accessibility Services Built for Real People

Aspiritech helps organizations design and improve digital experiences that work for everyone.

Our human-led accessibility services go beyond checklists to uncover real-world usability barriers, improve compliance, and create inclusive digital products.

We blend technical rigor with lived neurodivergent experience to help your websites, applications, and platforms operate with empathy and consistency.

The Challenge: Digital Experiences Exclude People With Disabilities

Most digital experiences are unintentionally designed with barriers built in.

These issues expose organizations to legal risk, reputational damage, and lost audiences, all while leaving people with disabilities excluded from essential information and services

Common pain points we solve:

  • Websites that fail to meet WCAG, ADA, or Section 508 requirements
  • Content and interfaces that are unusable with assistive technologies
  • Color contrast, keyboard access, and focus visibility issues
  • Critical real-world user barriers missed by automated tools
  • Risks of late-stage fixes that are costly and disruptive

The Solution: Human-led Testing Uncovers Barriers and Improves Usability.

Aspiritech delivers comprehensive accessibility testing, auditing, and remediation services powered by highly trained neurodivergent professionals. The work of our Section 508 Trusted Testers certified by the Department of Homeland Security combines expert manual testing with assistive technology validation to uncover issues that automated tools alone cannot detect.

We’re not here to help you pass audits. We want to help you build digital experiences that function intuitively and equitably for all users, regardless of ability.

Our Approach Includes:

Human-led testing to uncover issues automated tools often miss

Assistive tech validation with screen readers, magnifiers, and other tools

Usability-first analysis to ensure real-world accessibility for all users

Standards-based evaluation aligned with WCAG, ADA, and Section 508

Early design review to prevent barriers before development begins

Continuous improvement focus to maintain accessibility as platforms evolve

The Cost to Fix Bugs Increases in Later Development Stages

A bar chart showing that the relative cost to fix bugs is about 2x when detected in the Requirements/Architecture stage, 5x in the Coding stage, 10x in the Integration/Component Testing stage. 15x in the System/Acceptance Testing stage, and 30x in the Production/Post-Release stage.

The effort—and cost—involved in identifying and fixing defects increases exponentially as software moves through the development cycle.

We’ll help your team identify and remediate accessibility issues in the testing phases, which mitigates costs and prevents major outages and downtime.
