Kris Rivenburgh covers the most important considerations before you choose a service provider for website accessibility in 2023.

The keys to buying services are:

• avoid overlays / widgets
• you need a manual audit to identify issues
• you need manual remediation to fix issues
• concentrate on 2.0 AA and then 2.1 AA conformance before 2.2 AA
• do not pay for automated scans or "checkers"
• accessibility training is essential
• be skeptical of freelancers who offer development for ADA compliance / accessibility remediation

Watch Kris discuss what you're really looking for from accessibility companies vs. what they're selling you:
