QA Consultants Difference

Human-based accessibility assessments can’t be replaced by digital automation tools. Without actual human interaction and observation, organizations will not get a clear picture of how accessible its digital products are, putting compliance, reputation, sales, and the end user experience at risk.

QA Consultants mitigates this risk with proprietary website automation testing tools, as well as dozens of certified digital accessibility specialists dedicated to setting your products up for success. From design through testing and post-launch, including inclusive design and accessibility testing performed by experienced QA professionals with lived disabilities, we aspire to make the internet an equal and accessible frontier.
