Hi, I'm Will, and I help make accessibility accessible. I am an IAAP (International Association of Accessibility Professionals) and Trusted Tester certified Accessibility Consultant with myself having over 10 years of experience, and my team having over 30 years of experience providing full-service digital accessibility services. Having three siblings with disabilities, I learned from my personal experience that it wasn't that my siblings couldn't access the world, but it was that the world was made inaccessible to them. I have since dedicated my life to this work and specialize in helping organizations by providing customized digital accessibility solutions.

When it comes to WCAG and ADA Section 508, I offer a comprehensive suite of services: Consulting, Auditing, Remediation, Accessible Development Training, VPAT ACRs, and Compliance Statements. As an individual with a visual impairment, accessibility is not merely a professional endeavor for me; it is both my mission and my passion. My daily reliance on the screen reader NVDA, both in my professional and personal life, provides me with a unique and unparalleled expertise in accessibility. This dual perspective of living with and working in accessibility underscores my profound commitment to ensuring that digital environments are inclusive and accessible for everyone. **Consulting:** Accessibility standards and guidelines can be complex and challenging to navigate. I specialize in demystifying these standards, explaining them in an easily digestible fashion. My consulting services include personalized walk-throughs using a screen reader to highlight accessibility issues from the perspective of an individual who uses assistive technology. I provide practical solutions and tailored recommendations to address these issues effectively. Additionally, I offer comprehensive training to ensure that teams can implement and maintain accessibility standards independently, fostering an inclusive digital environment. **Auditing:** All my audits are conducted manually, ensuring a thorough and accurate assessment of accessibility. I meticulously comb through the content in question using my screen reader and document all discovered issues in an Excel sheet. I then use a combination of accessibility testing tools, including WAVE, ANDI, and AXE, to further inspect the issues and test for color contrast. For each accessibility issue identified, I cite the relevant WCAG success criteria, point out the specific instance of noncompliance, and provide a recommendation for remediation. All my audits come with a comprehensive review session to answer any questions about the findings. This comprehensive approach ensures that all potential accessibility barriers are identified and addressed effectively. **Remediation:** If you do not have an in-house developer or would prefer me to implement the remediations, I can handle that. With expertise in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, I can directly address and fix the identified accessibility issues. My approach ensures that all solutions are implemented effectively and in compliance with WCAG standards. By taking on the remediation work, I provide a seamless service that not only identifies accessibility barriers but also resolves them, ensuring a more accessible and inclusive digital environment. **Accessible Development Training:** I offer comprehensive training in accessible development, equipping your team with the skills and knowledge to create inclusive digital experiences. My training covers best practices in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to ensure your projects meet WCAG standards. A key component of the training includes the proper use of ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) to enhance the accessibility of dynamic web content. By integrating ARIA roles, states, and properties effectively, your team can ensure that all users, including those relying on assistive technologies, have a seamless and accessible experience. This training is designed to empower developers to implement and maintain accessibility features confidently, fostering a culture of inclusivity in your organization. **VPAT ACR and Accessibility Statements:** After performing an audit, I can author an Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR) using the Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT). This detailed report outlines the accessibility features and compliance levels of your product, highlighting areas that cover ADA Section 508 and/or WCAG standards. If you prefer a less formal route, I can also author an accessibility statement. By providing a clear and comprehensive VPAT ACR or accessibility statement, I help ensure transparency and compliance, assisting organizations in demonstrating their commitment to accessibility and identifying areas for improvement.

Need your digital content, web platform, or federal deliverables to be fully Section 508 and WCAG 2.1 AA compliant? I specialize in accessibility audits, PDF remediation, and document accessibility for government and enterprise clients — with a zero-violation track record across 8 years supporting HHS/CMS federal programs. I also architect and implement Qualtrics CX/EX programs that actually get used — reducing survey abandonment, improving response quality, and delivering executive-ready dashboards. My background spans federal healthcare (Medicare/CMS), Department of Defense (USTRANSCOM/FedRAMP IL-4), and Fortune 500 enterprise platforms. I build and redesign websites in Duda, WordPress, and SharePoint — delivering accessible, responsive, brand-aligned experiences for enterprise and government clients. I understand compliance-driven environments, tight turnarounds, and the difference between a defensible audit and a checkbox exercise. If your project needs someone who can move fast, document everything, and deliver work that holds up to federal scrutiny — let's talk.

I help businesses, organizations, and government agencies make their websites, web apps, and digital documents accessible, compliant, and easier to use for everyone. I specialize in WCAG 2.1/2.2 AA, Section 508, ADA digital accessibility, PDF remediation, VPAT®/ACR reporting, and accessibility training. My audits are manual-first, detailed, developer-friendly, and built to uncover the real accessibility issues automated tools often miss. If you need a clear accessibility audit, PDF remediation, VPAT/ACR, remediation guidance, team training, or a final retest after fixes are made, I can help you get it done accurately and professionally. I provide free, no-obligation estimates. No back-end access is needed to start. Just send your URL, PDF, or document details, and I can review the scope and provide the time and cost for a thorough accessibility review. What I Can Help With Web Accessibility Audits Manual WCAG 2.1/2.2 AA and Section 508 audits for websites, web apps, dashboards, forms, checkout flows, login areas, dynamic components, and software platforms.

Why Clients Hire Me Accessibility work needs more than an automated scan. Automated tools are helpful, but they miss many real-world accessibility barriers and often produce false positives. My process combines industry-standard tools with hands-on manual testing so your team gets accurate findings, clear explanations, and guidance they can actually use. Government agencies, businesses, nonprofits, ecommerce brands, and software teams trust my work because I focus on practical results: finding the issues, explaining how to fix them, retesting after remediation, and helping document conformance through accessibility statements and VPAT/ACR reports. I also bring real accessibility education and product experience to my work. I have created public accessibility software for WordPress and have presented on web accessibility, WordPress accessibility, and the connection between accessibility and SEO. If you need an accessibility audit, PDF remediation, VPAT/ACR, team training, or help making your site or documents accessible, send over the details and I’ll be happy to provide a clear estimate.
