Less than three weeks from now, on March 15, 2025, we’re scheduled to release our new accessibility project software, Accessibility Tracker. This new web app will be a game changer in more ways than one.
Prioritize Issues
First, you will be able to upload any accessibility audit spreadsheet and sort the accessibility issues by one of our two proprietary sorting methods:
- By lawsuit risk (you can sign up for the ADA Compliance Course and see what issues are most likely to lead to a lawsuit now, but in 3 weeks, this function will also be automatically available through our software).
- By importance of accessibility issue
Now, obviously all accessibility issues are important, but some are more likely to represent blockers than others. So we’ve taken on the task of sorting all accessibility issues and putting them in tiered, chronological order.
The way we accomplish sorting is primarily through the tethered WCAG success criteria and the great news is a column for WCAG success criteria is standard across all good accessibility audits in the industry. If somehow your audit does not have a WCAG success criteria column, we can manually assess your issues and add a column.
Check Completed Issues
Along with prioritization, our new project software provides an easy way to track issues as you work through them. This gives your team the ability to not only easily mark issues as complete, but to also have those issues checked as complete by an external auditor or reviewer.
This is extremely helpful for those organizations who are working towards a clean(er) VPAT (ACR) or attempting to reach full WCAG conformance for a conformance statement or certification.
What We’ve Done
Having worked on so many client projects, we’re acutely aware of exactly what is needed to save our clients hours of time, but also make accessibility projects easier to complete.
With our new software, we’re, in many ways getting away from the ticket system and the email back and forth and going to a central communication platform where the communication is a single layer.
Also, many clients ask us, how should we prioritize what issues to work on first?
Our U.S. based clients with websites are focused on lawsuit risk. Others are concerned with what accessibility fixes make the most impact right away.
Now there’s a way that clients can prioritize issues either way, in 1.5 seconds.
Easy to Purchase
Here’s where we start really stacking value.
Most digital accessibility companies have a platform that you can use to track issues, but the catch is to access their platform you have to purchase their bundle of various items (like their scan and support team) for a minimum price tag of $20,000 annually.
There are also SaaS (software as a service) agencies who sell just the scan and platform, but for $2,500 and up annually. An important note here: our software will be dedicated to the completion of your accessibility project and not based around fillers like an automated scan, SEO, etc.
Additionally, our software will be much more affordable – less than $500 a year. And you won’t need to purchase an audit or anything else from us to use it.
We can’t wait to announce Accessibility Tracker is available for purchase.
March 15, 2025 will be the official release date.
