A Named, Certified Evaluator
Procurement asks who evaluated your product and what credentials they hold. Your report names him, with a federal certification number you can check.

The Audit That Closes Enterprise and Government Deals
Manual Section 508 and WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) 2.2 AA audits by a DHS-certified Trusted Tester, at a flat fee. Your signed VPAT/ACR lands on a date committed at signing, from day 21. You do not need a clean product to file one.
Judge the work before you call: read the sample VPAT/ACR and the sample remediation plan, both published in full.
What Procurement Is Asking For
When a software company sells to a government agency, a hospital system, or a Fortune 500, the buyer’s procurement team almost always asks:
“When was your last accessibility audit? Where is your VPAT?”
A VPAT (Voluntary Product Accessibility Template) is the standard framework for documenting how a product meets accessibility guidelines. The completed document is called an Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR). Without one, deals stall in procurement, often indefinitely. Most software companies don’t have one and don’t have the in-house expertise to produce one.
Harbor handles the entire process, from first assessment to a finished compliance document. If a deal is sitting on the other side of this document, the fee is a small fraction of it.

Scoped on a short call, then fixed in writing. How engagements work.
Sound Familiar?
- A government RFP requires accessibility documentation you don't have
- An enterprise buyer asked "where's your VPAT?" and you didn't have an answer
- A letter or complaint about accessibility has arrived
- Your existing VPAT is outdated or was generated by an automated scan
- You're expanding into government, healthcare, or higher-education markets
- You sell into the EU and the European Accessibility Act now applies to you
Start with the page that matches your situation: Section 508, VPAT & ACR, ADA compliance, or European Accessibility Act.
What Makes Harbor Different
A Delivery Date, Committed
The document does not wait on your engineers. Day 21 on a Focused engagement, day 45 on Standard, fixed at signing and backed by automatic late-delivery credits.
Flat, Transparent Pricing
One invoice. The price agreed at scoping is the price you pay at delivery, with nothing billed separately.
Every Template Tested by Hand
A scanner can decide about six of the 55 WCAG 2.2 A and AA criteria on its own. Every template here is tested by hand, with a keyboard and a screen reader.
Finished VPAT Included
Formatted for publication and included in the fee. It is the deliverable you are buying.
Fixes, Not Just Findings
Every finding carries the before-and-after code, grouped by root cause so one broken component is one ticket instead of nineteen. Read the actual plan before you hire us.
What’s Included
DHS Trusted Tester certified auditing, the federal government's own Section 508 test methodology
Every failure reproduced by hand before it is written down, never lifted from an unverified scan
Initial audit plus follow-up reviews of affected pages (2 on Focused, 3 on Standard and Professional, 5 on Enterprise)
Visual fix guides with annotated screenshots, and before-and-after code for every finding
Up to 90 days of post-engagement email support
Why Accessibility Matters
Procurement is what usually forces the question. The numbers below are the other reason.

Before You Compare Quotes
Four numbers worth knowing if this is your first accessibility audit. None of them are about us.
About 30 of 55
Criteria a Tool Cannot Decide
WCAG 2.2 has 55 Level A and AA success criteria. Most of them turn on judgement a scanner cannot make, such as whether alt text is correct rather than merely present. Automated testing is where an audit starts, not where it ends.
$100 to $350
Per Page, How Most Bill
Per-page pricing is the common model, so your page count drives your fee. A store with 300 products on one layout is 300 pages under that model. Ask any provider whether they count pages or templates before you compare two quotes.
$500 to $12,500
The Published Range
That is the span of publicly listed prices across the providers on our comparison page, and the conformance document is often billed separately on top. Quotes vary this widely because scope definitions do.

Of Vendors Have One Ready
We checked 107 recognizable software companies for a conformance report a buyer could actually read. Fewer than a third could produce one without a form or a sales call. The full finding is published.
New to this? The buyer’s guide explains what you are actually paying for, why two quotes for the same site can differ tenfold, and the questions worth asking any provider, including us.
Competitor figures read from each provider’s own published pages on 2026-08-04, and re-checked quarterly. Our own figure is not among them: we size an engagement on a fifteen-minute call and fix it in writing before you commit.
Talk to the Auditor, Not a Sales Team
You will be talking to Andrew Szigety, the accessibility consultant who runs your audit and signs your report. Fifteen minutes, no pitch, and you can end it owing nothing. We work out what counts as a template, what your deadline needs, and where your product is awkward, and you leave with a fee and a delivery date.
*21 days on a Focused engagement (up to 5 templates), 45 on Standard (up to 10), 60 on Professional. Remediation support continues after the ACR ships and runs on your team’s schedule.
