Accessibility Monitoring and Maintenance
Why Accessibility Monitoring and Maintenance Matters
Accessibility is an ongoing process. As your website evolves, new updates, features, and content can introduce barriers that undermine previous progress. Establishing a monitoring and maintenance framework safeguards the accessibility gains from the initial remediation and supports your digital growth, ensuring your website remains aligned with WCAG standards and responsive to the needs of all users.
Why it matters: Protecting the gains from remediation is foundational to maintaining accessibility as your digital presence grows and evolves. But it shouldn’t stop there.
Accessibility standards, regulations, and technologies don’t stand still—they continually advance. A well-structured monitoring and maintenance framework includes the processes and mechanisms needed to track these changes and adapt effectively. Future-proofing isn’t just about meeting today’s requirements—it’s about planning with care to navigate tomorrow’s challenges, mitigate risks, and ensure your website evolves with confidence.
Why it matters: Moving beyond basic compliance, adaptability prepares you to meet emerging demands head-on, keeping your digital presence resilient.
Sustainable web accessibility is about embedding practices that allow organizations to meet accessibility goals over time. In the maintenance stage, it is important to strategize how accessibility will be woven into future digital projects without disruption. The right monitoring and maintenance solution integrates into your current environments and processes, contributing to a sound cycle between people, processes, and technology. By providing targeted support for each pillar, it strengthens internal capabilities, reinforces accessibility as a standard part of operations, and fosters continuous progress toward greater accessibility maturity.
Why it matters: Sustainability ensures accessibility remains a lasting priority—one that evolves with your organization, scales with your digital initiatives, and supports long-term success.

However, if significant accessibility barriers remain, additional remediation may be necessary before pursuing the maintenance stage. If you’re unsure whether your site is ready, we’re happy to discuss and guide you.
Each testing approach has its own strengths, and we help you prioritize pages accordingly. Automated testing is well-suited for identifying structural and technical issues across a wide range of pages based on certain rulesets, while manual testing focuses on usability, complex user interactions, and accessibility criteria requiring human judgment. We collaborate with you to select a representative sample that best supports accessibility maintenance and prevents regressions.
Yes, our monitoring and maintenance plans are designed to be flexible. You can adjust your plan selections, such as the frequency of re-assessments, the number of pages tested, or the type of maintenance support, to better align with your evolving needs.

The Accessibility Health Scores for automated and manual testing results provide a high-level measure of your website’s accessibility status. These metrics track trends over time, helping us assess issue severity, detect regressions, and evaluate overall accessibility progress. By monitoring score fluctuations, we can identify when significant changes occur—prompting a deeper review of testing report details to determine further actions.
