Yes. Homade is headquartered in Chicago, IL, and runs every accessibility audit and remediation from our Chicago studio. The person testing your site is the same person fixing it, so findings turn into fixes instead of a report that sits on a shelf.

A manual and automated review against WCAG 2.1 AA, including real screen-reader passes, not just a Lighthouse score. Findings are ranked by risk and effort: what blocks users, what blocks compliance, and what is cosmetic.

No. Overlay widgets do not make a site compliant and often make it worse for screen-reader users. We fix accessibility in the markup, contrast, focus order, ARIA, and motion of your actual build, not with a third-party script.

Both. We run audits and remediation for Chicago operators and for teams across the US. Local clients can meet in person; remote clients get the same testing cadence and a real human responsible from day one.

Yes. We audit and remediate sites built by other teams all the time. We inherit the build, run a baseline audit, ship the fixes in your codebase, and re-test with the same tools and the same humans to confirm the new baseline.

A standard site audit runs 1 to 2 weeks depending on page count. Remediation timing depends on the findings, but every fix gets a real DO date and a real DUE date so you can plan around it.

Yes. We offer an accessibility retainer to monitor new content, train your editors, and keep the score from sliding back next quarter, because compliance is fragile the moment new pages start shipping.

Engagements are scoped to where your site is today: a one-time audit, full remediation, or an ongoing retainer. We give you an honest read on scope and timeline within one business day. No long-term lock-in required to get a quote.
