The web should work for everyone.

Access Shift combines continuous WCAG 2.2 AA scanning with a runtime remediation widget — built to help teams work toward accessibility goals honestly, without overselling what software can do.

Our mission

Teams who build for the web deserve tools that are straight with them about what automation can and cannot achieve. We started Access Shift because too much of the accessibility-overlay market leans on promises — "one-click compliance," "lawsuit-proof," "fully accessible" — that no automated product can keep.

Our goal is to deliver genuine, measurable improvement to the technical web-content criteria of WCAG 2.2 AA while being clear about the limits — and to give you evidence you can put in front of auditors, procurement, and your legal team.

Why accessibility matters now

  • 95.9% of the top 1M home pages had detectable WCAG failures (WebAIM Million, 2024).
  • 8,200+ ADA Title III web-accessibility lawsuits filed in US federal court in 2023 (Seyfarth Shaw ADA Title III Federal Lawsuit Report, 2024 recap).
  • June 2025 — European Accessibility Act enforcement begins across all 27 EU member states.

Our approach: scan, remediate, monitor

One line of JavaScript, then an ongoing loop: find issues, patch what can be patched safely at runtime, and keep the evidence trail current as your site changes.

  1. Scan — a multi-page scanner crawls your site and reports against the same WCAG 2.2 AA criteria your auditors care about, so you can see where you stand and track progress over time.
  2. Remediate — an embeddable widget addresses common, detectable technical issues at runtime — alt text, ARIA labels, focus indicators, color contrast, target size, and more — where they can be patched safely in the browser.
  3. Monitor — continuous scans persist per-page evidence and a site-wide score you can share with auditors, procurement, and your legal team — so regressions surface before they become complaints.

The Scale and Custom plans also include hand-written testing and validation by accessibility experts (yearly on Scale, on-demand on Custom), because the most defensible programs pair automation with human review.

What we promise — and what we don't

No compliance guarantees. Access Shift is an accessibility automation tool, not a legal certification, and no automated tool can guarantee conformance with any accessibility law on its own. You will not find guarantees of "full" coverage or immunity from litigation anywhere in our product or marketing — and if you ever do, treat it as a mistake superseded by our Terms of Service and Accessibility Statement.

Automation plus people. Runtime remediation cannot fix every issue. Meaningful sequence, complex cognition, and the quality of alternative text for nuanced imagery all need human judgment — so we recommend pairing Access Shift with periodic source-level audits and manual testing by people who use assistive technologies.

One honest baseline. We measure against WCAG 2.2 Level AA. Because it is a superset of the web-content technical requirements referenced by many laws, targeting it helps you work toward the criteria behind the ADA, Section 508, the European Accessibility Act (via EN 301 549), Ontario's AODA, and the Accessible Canada Act — from a single baseline rather than five separate checklists.
