Website accessibility audits for WCAG 2.2, Section 508 and ADA requirements
Flying Orange provides website accessibility audits to identify barriers and evaluate your site against established accessibility standards and requirements, including WCAG, Section 508 and ADA considerations.
Planning a new website? We can incorporate accessibility testing throughout design and development. Have an existing website? An audit can help identify issues, prioritize improvements and determine whether updates or a larger website refresh make sense.

Need a VPAT or Accessibility Conformance Report?
Flying Orange can complete a VPAT® (Voluntary Product Accessibility Template) to evaluate and document your website’s accessibility against applicable standards, including WCAG and Section 508.
Once completed, the VPAT becomes an Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR), giving you clear documentation of where your website meets accessibility criteria and where improvements may be needed.
