Accessibility Conformance Report, tested by hand

For small software vendors whose public customer has asked for a VPAT. I test your product by hand with a keyboard and a screen reader, then write the report on ITI's VPAT template. Every WCAG 2.1 Level A and AA criterion gets a level and a remark that names the screen and says what happens.

Price

$1,490 fixed

• WCAG edition, up to 15 screens or flows.
• One retest within 90 days.
• About a week from the day I have access.
• You pay by invoice after you have read the report. No deposit, no card link.

Everything is in writing. There are no calls.

What you get

• The report on ITI's VPAT 2.5 template, WCAG edition. Each row has a level and a specific remark.
• A fix list your developers can use. Each item has steps to reproduce, expected and actual result, the criterion, who is affected, severity on GSA's Issue Detail Supplement scale, a suggested fix and a retest status.
• An evidence annex. A short screen recording and the screen reader text for each row marked Does Not Support.
• A draft accessibility statement with a contact for reports.
• A roadmap template for your customer's reviewer: gap, workaround, target date. You fill it in.
• One retest within 90 days, with an updated report.

Read the sample report. It uses a fictional product to show the format. It says on the page how it was made.

What is tested and how

You send the screens or flows your customer will use, up to 15. We agree the list in writing before I start. On a paid order, a person does this testing by hand.

Methods used on a paid report

Method	What it checks
Keyboard only	What it checks: Every control can be reached and used without a mouse. Focus order, visible focus, no traps.
NVDA with Chrome and Firefox on Windows	What it checks: What is announced: names, roles, states, errors, status messages.
VoiceOver with Safari on an iPhone, TalkBack with Chrome on Android	What it checks: Phone layouts and native app screens, when they are on the list.
200% zoom, 320 px reflow, text spacing	What it checks: Nothing is cut off or lost, and pages do not scroll sideways.
Colour Contrast Analyser	What it checks: Text and control contrast, measured and stated as a ratio.
axe-core and ANDI	What it checks: A first pass that shows where to look. A scan result alone never decides a row.

Not in scope: PDF documents, complex data grids and math content. If your product depends on them, I will say so before we start. Level AAA is stated as not evaluated. The price covers the WCAG edition. If your customer needs another edition, ask first.

How an order goes

1. You forward the request you received, or send the product address and the list of screens.
2. I reply in writing with scope and a date.
3. You give me a test account with test data.
4. About a week later you get the report, the fix list, the annex, the draft statement, the roadmap template and an invoice.
5. You read it. You pay if it does what the terms say.
6. When your developers have made fixes, I retest once within 90 days and update the report.

Why a public customer may ask now

Under the Department of Justice's ADA Title II web rule (Federal Register document 2026-07663), public bodies of 50,000 or more people have until April 26, 2027 to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA, and smaller ones until April 26, 2028. Their buyers often ask vendors for a report. This is background and not legal advice.
