Enterprise vendors

ES Designs Audit Tool

WCAG 2.2 rules audit plus AI-generated remediation: code-level fixes, plain-English explanations for non-technical staff, ticket-ready descriptions for your web developer queue. Built for the resource profile of actual higher-ed institutions.

Our policy

Zero accessibility overlays. Ever.

The audit tool produces reports and remediation guidance. We do not inject third-party scripts into your website, we do not sell overlay products, and we do not work with vendors who do. Disability advocates and procurement officers actively screen against overlay vendors — and they’re right to.
