Accessibility isn't a checkbox — it's a baseline
Most "accessibility" work stops at an automated scan that catches maybe 30% of real barriers. Genuine conformance needs a human driving the keyboard and listening to a screen reader. That's how I work, and it's how every Charlie & Co. project ships.
How an engagement runs
- Audit — I assess your key templates against WCAG 2.0/2.1 AA, by tool and by hand, and document every barrier with its severity and the effort to fix.
- Remediate — I fix the issues directly in your codebase (or hand your team a precise, prioritized plan).
- Verify — I re-test and provide a conformance summary you can put in front of leadership, legal, or a procurement team.
Why me
I don't audit in the abstract — I build accessible products for a living, so I know what the fix actually looks like in code. This very site is built and tested to WCAG 2.0 AA.
Questions
- Is my Ontario business legally required to be accessible?
- Under the AODA, most Ontario organizations with 50+ employees must meet WCAG 2.0 Level AA for their public websites and web content. Penalties for non-compliance can reach into six figures per day. An audit tells you exactly where you stand.
- What does an accessibility audit actually involve?
- I combine automated tooling with manual testing — keyboard-only navigation, screen readers, colour-contrast checks, and focus management — across your most important page templates, then deliver a prioritized report and fix the issues.
- Can you just fix it, not only report on it?
- Yes. The audit is the starting point; remediation is the goal. I implement the fixes and re-test so you end up actually conformant, not just informed.
