Document accessibility for small governments and school districts
We rebuild the PDFs, board agendas, and forms your agency already posts so they work with screen readers, keyboards, and other assistive technology. They read and look the same for everyone else.
Get in touch
Start with one document. Send it over, or just link the page it sits on, and we will tell you what we see and what it would take to fix. No charge for the look.
What we do
Federal rules now ask public agencies to make their online documents usable with assistive technology. Most small districts have years of scanned agendas, flat PDFs, and forms that were never built that way. Every document we rebuild comes back with:
- A logical reading order, so a screen reader follows the same path a sighted reader would.
- Real headings, lists, and tagged tables, not bold text standing in for structure.
- Alt text where an image carries meaning, and decorative images marked so assistive tech skips them.
- Form fields with real labels and a sensible tab order.
- Text you can search and select, even from a flat scan.
- Color and contrast that meet WCAG 2.1 AA.
How it works
- You send a document. We look at what you actually have.
- You get a fixed-price scope up front. No hourly surprises.
- We rebuild it. AI handles the repetitive parts, like pulling text off a scan, and a person reviews and signs off on every document before it reaches you.
- You get the accessible file plus a short note: what was failing, what we fixed, and anything worth confirming with a screen reader before you publish.
Every document is remediated to WCAG 2.1 AA and verified by named checks: a screen-reader listen-through with VoiceOver, a keyboard-only pass, a 200 percent zoom check, and an automated scan with WAVE or axe. We do not call your documents legally compliant. That conclusion is yours to make; our job is to do the work and show you what was done.
What it costs
Project work
$500 to $3,000
Clearing a backlog: a year of board agendas, your most-used forms, or a first pass across the documents people actually download.
Yearly arrangement
$650 to $8,000 a year
Staying ahead of it: new documents remediated within days of posting, sized to how much you publish. A district posting monthly board materials sits at the bottom of that range; agencies posting weekly typically run $3,000 to $8,000.
Turnaround is 5 business days for a single document or small batch. Our pricing sits well below the competitive-bid thresholds that apply to districts, so work this size should not trigger a formal bid or an RFP. If it goes to your board, we provide a one-page estimate for the packet at no charge.
