Accessibility compliance that works for everyone.
We audit and fix websites and apps so they meet the accessibility standards the law now expects — WCAG 2.2 AA, the ADA, and the European Accessibility Act. You get a clear report, real fixes, and a site that is easier for every visitor to use. Remote team, clients worldwide.
Accessibility is no longer optional.
About one in six people in the world lives with a disability. Many of them cannot use a website that was only built for a mouse and a pair of sharp eyes. When your site cannot be read by a screen reader, moved through with a keyboard, or seen clearly by someone with low vision, those people simply leave — and often, they cannot buy from you at all.
For years, accessibility was treated as a nice extra. That has changed. New rules like the European Accessibility Act, in force across the EU since 28 June 2025, now require many businesses to make their digital services usable by disabled people. In the United States, lawsuits over inaccessible websites arrive by the thousands each year. The safe, sensible move is to fix this on your own terms — before a customer complaint or a legal letter forces your hand.
At Scorpyns, we help companies get there. We are a remote-first software studio, so we audit and fix sites for clients anywhere in the world. We find what is broken, explain it in plain language, and put it right — the same care we give to our own products. And because good accessibility and good engineering are the same discipline, the result is a site that is faster, clearer and easier for everyone.
A full path to compliance.
Accessibility audit
A thorough web accessibility audit of your site against WCAG 2.2 AA — automated scans, hands-on code review, and real testing with screen readers and a keyboard.
Fixes & remediation
We don't just hand you a list. We fix the issues — contrast, labels, headings, focus, forms, alt text — or work with your developers and verify their changes.
Accessibility statement
We help you publish an honest, up-to-date accessibility statement — what you support, what is still in progress, and how people can ask for help.
Design & code review
Catch problems before launch. We review new designs and pull requests so accessibility is built in from the start, not bolted on at the end.
Assistive-tech testing
We test the way disabled people really browse — with NVDA, VoiceOver and JAWS, keyboard only, and zoom — because automated tools miss most real issues.
Monitoring & training
Sites change. We set up ongoing checks and train your team so new pages stay accessible long after the audit is done.
A report you can actually act on.
Every WCAG compliance audit we deliver is clear, prioritised and practical. No jargon dumps — just what is wrong, how serious it is, and exactly how to fix it.
- Automated scans — every page checked for common, machine-detectable issues.
- Manual code review — the deeper problems tools cannot see, checked by hand.
- Screen-reader testing — real use with NVDA, VoiceOver and JAWS.
- Keyboard-only testing — everything reachable and usable without a mouse.
- Colour & contrast checks — text and controls that are easy to see.
- Forms & error handling — labels, hints and clear, spoken error messages.
- Headings & structure — a logical outline screen readers can follow.
- Images & media — alt text, captions and sensible reading order.
- Focus & navigation — visible focus, skip links and a sane tab order.
- Prioritised issue list — sorted by impact, mapped to WCAG 2.2 AA criteria.
- Fix guidance — plain-language steps, with code notes for your developers.
- Retest after fixes — we confirm each issue is genuinely resolved.
Engineers who get accessibility.
Accessibility is not a plugin or a badge you buy. It lives in the code, the design and the content — which is why it is best handled by people who actually build software. We do, every day.
We fix, not just flag. Plenty of tools spit out a score and leave you to work out the rest. We can carry the work through to the finish, or guide and check your own team, so the score turns into a site that truly works.
We're honest about the law. We are not lawyers, and we will never pretend a certificate makes you immune from claims. What we do is meet the recognised WCAG 2.2 AA standard that regulators and courts rely on — the strongest practical position you can take.
We work anywhere. As a remote-first studio, we run audits and fixes for startups and established companies across the US, the EU and beyond. Clear written reports, calls that fit your time zone, and a scope and price agreed before we begin.
From audit to accessible.

What the law actually asks for.
The rules can sound scary, but the core idea is simple: your digital services should be usable by disabled people. Almost every law and standard around the world points back to the same technical yardstick, so if you meet that, you are in good shape nearly everywhere. Here is what matters most, without the legalese.
WCAG 2.2 AA — the shared standard
WCAG stands for the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, written by the World Wide Web Consortium (the group that sets web standards). Version 2.2 came out in 2023. The guidelines have three levels — A, AA and AAA — and AA is the level that laws and courts expect. It covers things like readable colour contrast, text that resizes, content you can reach with a keyboard, clear labels on forms, and pages that work with a screen reader. When we say we make you compliant, this is the standard we measure against.
The European Accessibility Act (EAA)
The European Accessibility Act is an EU law that has applied since 28 June 2025. It requires many everyday digital products and services to be accessible for people with disabilities. Crucially, it can apply to businesses outside the EU that sell to EU customers. The Act leans on a European standard called EN 301 549, which in turn tracks WCAG — so a site built to WCAG 2.2 AA is well positioned to meet it.
The ADA and the United States
In the US, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) has long been read to cover websites, and thousands of lawsuits are filed each year over inaccessible ones. For private businesses there is no single official checklist, so courts and the Department of Justice generally treat WCAG as the benchmark. Meeting WCAG 2.2 AA is the most practical way to reduce that risk — though, as always, a lawyer should advise on your exact situation.
Who has to comply
If you run an online shop, take bookings or payments, offer banking or an app, sell e-books or tickets, or provide a public service online, the odds are the rules apply to you. E-commerce is squarely in scope under the EAA, and online stores are among the most common ADA lawsuit targets. Small businesses have some exemptions in places, but the exceptions are narrow — it is worth checking rather than assuming you are clear.
Good for search, good for everyone
Here is the upside. The work that makes a site accessible — clear headings, descriptive links, alt text, clean structure, fast and keyboard-friendly pages — is the same work that helps it rank on Google and feel effortless to use. Accessibility is not an SEO gimmick, but done properly it lifts your search visibility, your conversion rate and the experience for every single visitor. You are not just avoiding risk; you are building a better product.
We build for real audiences.
From public-facing profiles to platforms people rely on every day, we build sites that have to work for everyone who lands on them. Proof beats promises.
Accessibility questions, answered simply.
What does accessibility compliance actually mean?
It means your website or app can be used by people with disabilities — those who use a screen reader, navigate by keyboard, need larger text, or cannot use a mouse. In practice, most laws point to a shared standard called WCAG 2.2 at level AA. When your site meets that standard, it's far easier to prove you've met your legal duties, and it works better for everyone.
Does the European Accessibility Act apply to my business?
It may. The European Accessibility Act (EAA) has applied since 28 June 2025. It covers many products and services sold to people in the EU — including online shops, banking, e-books, ticketing and more. If you sell to EU customers, it can apply even if your company is based elsewhere. We're not lawyers, so for a binding view speak to a qualified one, but we can audit your site against the WCAG 2.2 AA standard the Act relies on.
Do I have to worry about the ADA if I am outside the United States?
If you have customers in the US, it's worth taking seriously. Courts and the US Department of Justice have long treated the Americans with Disabilities Act as covering websites, and lawsuits over inaccessible sites are common. There's no single official checklist for private businesses, so both courts and regulators tend to use WCAG as the yardstick. Meeting WCAG 2.2 AA is the most practical way to lower that risk.
How does an accessibility audit work?
We test your site in three ways. First, automated tools scan every page for common problems. Second, we check the code and design by hand, because tools miss most real issues. Third, we use the site the way disabled people do — with a keyboard only and with screen readers like NVDA, VoiceOver and JAWS. You get one clear report that lists each issue, how serious it is, and exactly how to fix it.
Can you fix the problems, or only find them?
Both. Many audits hand you a long list and leave you stuck. We can do the fixes ourselves — colour and contrast, keyboard support, labels, headings, forms, focus order, alt text and more — or work alongside your developers and check their changes. When the work is done, we retest to confirm the issues are truly gone.
Will accessibility work also help my SEO?
Usually, yes. The habits that make a site accessible — clear headings, descriptive links, proper labels, alt text on images, clean structure and fast, keyboard-friendly pages — are the same things search engines reward. Accessibility isn't an SEO trick, but doing it well tends to lift both your search visibility and how easy the site is for everyone to use.
Do you work with international and remote clients?
Yes. Scorpyns is a remote-first studio and we work with clients worldwide, across time zones. Accessibility audits and fixes are done entirely online, with clear written reports and regular calls. Whether you're a startup or an established company, in the US, the EU or anywhere else, we can help — we agree the scope and price up front so there are no surprises.
Can you make our app accessible too, not just the website?
Yes. The same standard, WCAG 2.2 AA, applies to web apps, and mobile apps have their own accessibility features on iOS and Android that we test against. We audit and fix web apps, dashboards, checkout flows and mobile apps, testing with real assistive technology on the devices your users actually have.
