Catch accessibility regressions
the moment they ship.

Every release risks a new accessibility regression — a label that disappears, a focus order that breaks, a control a screen reader can no longer reach. QA11Y Labs monitors your live site each month, diffs the accessibility tree against the prior baseline, and tells you exactly what changed.

A one-time audit ages the day after you ship.

Sites change constantly — new components, content edits, third-party widgets, framework updates. Each change can quietly break the experience for screen-reader and keyboard users. Monthly monitoring keeps the picture current and gives you documented, defensible proof of ongoing effort.

Regressions are silent

Automated scans flag a fraction of real issues. The rest hide in keyboard order, ARIA semantics, and what the screen reader actually announces — until a user reports them.

Compliance is a timeline

ADA Title II, Section 508, and WCAG 2.2 conformance aren't a checkbox — they require evidence that you're maintaining accessibility over time. Monthly reports build that record.

Caught early is cheap

A regression flagged in the next monthly report costs minutes to fix. The same issue surfaced by a complaint or a legal notice costs orders of magnitude more.


Accessibility-tree diffing, screen-reader regression, human review.

We monitor what assistive technology actually sees — not just the visible page. Each month, your site is captured, compared against the prior baseline, and reviewed by a QA11Y Labs accessibility specialist before anything reaches your inbox.

Step 01

Capture the accessibility tree

Each monitored page is rendered and the live accessibility tree — roles, names, states, and relationships — is captured as the canonical baseline.

  • Headless rendering of production URLs
  • Roles, accessible names, descriptions, and states
  • Reading order and landmark structure
  • Focus order and keyboard reachability
Step 03

Screen-reader regression checks

Key flows are exercised with JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver to confirm that what the tree says matches what a real user hears.

  • JAWS (primary), NVDA, and VoiceOver passes
  • Form, navigation, and modal flow checks
  • Announcements compared to prior month
  • Notes on anything a sighted scan would miss
Step 04

Human review by QA11Y Labs

Findings are reviewed by an accessibility specialist before delivery. No noise, no false alarms — only changes that matter, with context.

  • Specialist review of every flagged change
  • Severity and WCAG 2.2 mapping
  • Plain-language explanation for each finding
  • Recommended fix or code snippet where relevant
Step 05

Monthly report & receipt

You receive a clear, branded monthly report — what changed, what was fixed, what's open, and what's coming next. Built for both your team and your legal record.

  • PDF + structured summary delivered each month
  • Trend tracking across cycles
  • Audit-ready evidence trail
  • Prioritized action list for engineering
Step 06

Between cycles, when it counts

Major release coming? Need a second look before a launch? Higher tiers include between-cycle access for the moments compliance can't wait a month.

  • Priority escalation paths
  • Pre-release regression checks (Growth & Enterprise)
  • Direct contact with your accessibility specialist
  • Quarterly or monthly review calls

Three tiers. One steady cadence.

Every tier includes accessibility-tree diffing, screen-reader regression checks, human review by QA11Y Labs, and a monthly report. Coverage and response time scale with the tier.

Discuss Enterprise Monitoring

Every tier includes: accessibility-tree diffing against the prior baseline, screen-reader regression checks, human review by a QA11Y Labs accessibility specialist, and a monthly compliance report. Pricing is scoped to your site — request a quote and we'll size the plan to the work, not the other way around.


Useful to engineering. Defensible to legal.

The monthly report is the artifact your team and your lawyers both want on file. It's written to be acted on by developers and understood by everyone else.

Each monthly report includes

Executive summaryWhere you stand, what changed, where to focus.
Diff against last monthWhat appeared, disappeared, or changed in the accessibility tree.
Severity & WCAG mappingEach finding mapped to WCAG 2.2 with a clear severity.
Screen-reader notesWhat JAWS, NVDA, or VoiceOver actually announce on key flows.
Fix recommendationsCode-level guidance, with snippets where appropriate.
Audit-ready trailA dated, signed report you can hand to legal or procurement.

Built for teams that ship often.

If your site changes month over month, your accessibility posture changes with it. Monthly monitoring is for the organizations that can't afford to find out about regressions from a complaint.

  • Public-sector and education entities preparing for ADA Title II
  • Federal contractors maintaining Section 508 conformance
  • SaaS and ecommerce teams shipping weekly or more
  • Organizations with a published accessibility statement to uphold
  • Teams who've completed a remediation and need to protect the work
"A clean audit on Monday doesn't mean a clean site on Friday. Monitoring is how you keep the work you paid for from quietly slipping away."
Quintin Williams Founder, QA11Y Labs

Pairs well with a baseline audit

If you haven't had a recent WCAG audit, we usually start there — a clean baseline makes every monthly diff afterward more useful. Already audited? Monitoring picks up the day after we hand off.

Frequently asked.

If you don't see your question here, get in touch — we'll answer in plain language, without sales pressure.

How is this different from an automated scanner?

Automated scanners flag a known subset of issues — roughly 30% of real accessibility barriers. We use scanners as one input, but the meaningful work is diffing the live accessibility tree, running screen-reader checks, and having an accessibility specialist review the result. The report is curated, not auto-generated.

What pages get monitored?

We agree on a set of monitored URLs and key user flows during onboarding — typically your highest-traffic pages, login and checkout, and any flows tied to compliance or revenue. The scope grows or shrinks with your tier.

Do you need access to our codebase or staging?

No. Monitoring runs against your public site. If you'd like us to verify a fix on staging or pre-production before release, higher tiers include between-cycle access for that.

Is the monthly report defensible if we're audited?

Yes — the report is dated, scoped, mapped to WCAG 2.2 success criteria, and reviewed by a named accessibility specialist. Many of our clients keep the report stack as part of their ADA Title II or Section 508 evidence record.

What if you find something serious mid-cycle?

If our checks surface a high-severity regression, we don't wait for the next report — we contact you directly. Growth and Enterprise tiers include explicit escalation paths and between-cycle access.

Can we cancel any time?

Yes. Monthly monitoring is month-to-month. We'd rather earn the next month than lock you into something you've outgrown.
