Hire Web Accessibility (A11y) Experts for WCAG Compliance

Accessibility (A11y) is no longer a 'nice-to-have'; it is a legal and ethical imperative. A truly senior frontend developer understands that their job is to build experiences that work for *all* users, regardless of their technology or ability. You need an expert who can ensure your web application meets WCAG standards, integrates correct ARIA attributes, and designs components that are fully navigable and perceivable by assistive technologies. Our vetting process is unique: we don't just ask about ARIA; we give developers broken, inaccessible components and measure their ability to diagnose and repair the fundamental issues related to keyboard navigation, semantic HTML, and screen reader announcements. By hiring our A11y expert, you mitigate legal risk, expand your market reach, and demonstrate a commitment to inclusive design that strengthens your brand.

Is your app legally exposed for non-compliance?

The Problem

Automated tools only catch 30-40% of accessibility issues. A lack of manual, expert review means critical failures related to context, user flow, and complex ARIA roles slip into production, leaving your organization vulnerable to expensive legal action.

The TeamStation AI Solution

Our experts are certified and vetted for their ability to perform thorough manual audits using screen readers (VoiceOver, NVDA), keyboard-only navigation, and advanced ARIA validation. They identify critical failures that tools miss, providing clear, prioritized remediation strategies to eliminate legal risk.

Proof: WCAG 2.2 Level AA compliance score
Are your custom components unusable by screen readers?

The Problem

Complex UI elements like carousels, modal dialogs, and custom form controls often lack the necessary ARIA attributes (roles, states, properties) to communicate their state and function to screen reader users, rendering them effectively unusable for the disabled community.

The TeamStation AI Solution

We hire specialists in WAI-ARIA best practices. They demonstrate mastery in implementing complex, fully accessible components, ensuring correct keyboard focus management, tab order, and dynamic announcement of state changes. This guarantees a functional experience for all users.

Proof: Mastery of ARIA Roles and Keyboard Navigation
Is accessibility treated as a last-minute patch rather than a core feature?

The Problem

When accessibility is tacked on at the end of the development cycle, it often requires extensive, costly refactoring. This slows down development and results in a poor, fragile user experience.

The TeamStation AI Solution

We look for engineers who integrate A11y into every stage of development. They are proficient in tools like Jest-Axe for testing accessibility during component development and are skilled in automated and manual testing techniques to ensure that accessibility is a core, built-in feature of your application, not an afterthought.

Proof: Integration of A11y into CI/CD Pipeline
Does your design system fail on color contrast and touch targets?

The Problem

Fundamental design choices, such as using low-contrast color palettes or creating small, hard-to-click buttons, can make an application unusable for users with visual impairments or motor difficulties. These basic failures are often overlooked by teams focused purely on aesthetics.

The TeamStation AI Solution

Our accessibility experts work with your design team to build an inclusive design system from the ground up. They are vetted on their ability to enforce WCAG color contrast ratios, define accessible touch target sizes, and create a visual language that is clear and usable for everyone, preventing accessibility issues before a single line of code is written.

Proof: An inclusive design system that meets contrast and target size requirements

Core Competencies We Validate for Web Accessibility (A11y)

WCAG 2.1/2.2 principles and guidelines
Semantic HTML5 and ARIA attributes
Keyboard navigation and focus management
Screen reader testing proficiency (NVDA, VoiceOver)
Automated A11y testing (Axe, Lighthouse)

Our Technical Analysis for Web Accessibility (A11y)

The Web Accessibility evaluation is highly practical and focused on remediation. Candidates are presented with common accessibility failures (e.g., improper color contrast, missing form labels, broken keyboard trap, incorrect ARIA usage on a custom widget) and are tasked with diagnosing and fixing them. We assess their foundational knowledge of the accessibility tree, expecting them to articulate how semantic HTML maps to it and when to use ARIA as a supplement, not a replacement. A key area is keyboard interaction: candidates must demonstrate mastery of focus management (using `tabindex`, programmatically managing focus) and correctly handling component interactions without a mouse. Finally, they must be able to integrate accessibility testing tools (like `jest-axe`) into a component testing suite, proving they can implement accessibility as a continuous quality gate.
