Accessible websites that meet Ontario’s AODA requirements.
Under the AODA, many Ontario organizations’ websites are expected to meet WCAG accessibility standards. We build accessibility in from the first design decision. For sites you already have, we run a practical audit with a prioritized list of what to fix and how.
Accessible is better for everyone (and it’s the law)
An accessible site works for people using screen readers, keyboards, magnification, or just a small phone in bright sun. Which is to say, more of your customers. For many Ontario organizations it’s also an AODA obligation, and building it in is far cheaper than retrofitting after a complaint.
What we do
AODA / WCAG audit
A practical review of your site against WCAG 2.0/2.1 AA (the standard AODA points to), tested on real assistive technology.
Prioritized fix list
Plain-English findings ranked by impact and effort, so you fix what matters first, not a wall of tickets.
Accessible design & build
Colour contrast, focus states, semantic structure, labels and keyboard support designed in from the start.
Assistive-tech testing
We test with keyboards and screen readers, not just an automated scanner that misses most real issues.
Documentation
A clear record of what was done and the standard met, useful if anyone ever asks.
Ongoing compliance
Accessibility drifts as content changes; we can keep it maintained. See managed growth.

A note on legal obligations
Whether the AODA applies to your organization, and to what standard, depends on your size, sector and how your site is used. This page is guidance, not legal advice; confirm your specific obligations against current Ontario requirements and, where needed, qualified legal counsel. What we do is make your site genuinely accessible and document the standard met.
Frequently asked questions
Does the AODA apply to my website?
It depends on your organization’s size and sector. Many Ontario businesses and non-profits with public-facing websites are covered. We can assess your site, but confirm your legal obligations with current Ontario guidance or counsel. This isn’t legal advice.
What standard do you follow?
WCAG 2.0/2.1 Level AA, the standard the AODA points to for web content.
Can you fix my existing site, or only new builds?
Both. We audit and remediate existing sites, and we build new sites accessible from the start.
Isn’t an automated accessibility checker enough?
No. Automated scanners catch only a fraction of real issues. Genuine accessibility needs testing with keyboards and screen readers, which is what we do.
Make your site work for everyone.
Start with an audit, or build it in from the ground up. Either way, let’s scope it.
