Tandem Access

Bilingual web accessibility readiness — Ottawa–Gatineau

I help small organizations find and fix website and document accessibility problems — in English and French — before they become complaints. Real scans, real evidence, honest reports.

Proof over promises: in one afternoon of sample scans, 4 of 5 Eastern Ontario small-business sites showed at least one serious automated accessibility finding. Every sample report below is real and downloadable.

Services

1. Web Accessibility Readiness Sprint

Two weeks, fixed price. Automated + manual WCAG 2.0/2.1 AA review of your site, prioritized bilingual findings report with developer-ready fixes, and a re-scan after repairs. Built for Ontario's AODA reality: organizations with 20+ employees have an accessibility compliance report due December 31, 2026.

$1,500–$5,000 EN + FR deliverables

2. PDF Accessibility Remediation (PDF/UA)

Your public PDFs remediated to the PDF/UA standard (ISO 14289): tags, reading order, true alternative text, titles, forms, tables. Every document ships with before/after machine-validation reports. French, English and bilingual documents handled natively.

$15–$25 per page free sample — see below

3. Accessibility Conformance Reports (ACR / VPAT)

Audit-backed ACRs on the standard ITI VPAT template for software vendors selling to government, higher-ed and enterprise buyers. Honest support levels that survive procurement review — reviewers distrust "Supports" everywhere.

Introductory $750–$1,200 WCAG 2.2 A/AA edition

4. Chatbot Accessibility Mini-Audit

Your website chatbot tested the way customers actually use it: keyboard only, screen reader, 200% zoom. Starts with a free 15-minute automated scan of your public widget; the mini-audit adds hands-on testing and a vendor-ready fix list.

Free scan, then $500–$2,000 vendor-ready fix list

Proof: sample reports (real scans, real remediation)

About

An independent bilingual accessibility practice based in Ottawa–Gatineau. We work with the same tools the industry uses (axe-core, veraPDF) and writes findings your developer or vendor can act on directly — in either official language. Fixed packages, form intake, delivery by email — fully asynchronous.

Straight talk: we sell readiness, not certification. My reports say what's broken, how severe it is, and what it takes to fix — and they say so in plain language. Nothing here is legal advice.

English or French — we answer both, by email.
