Can everyone use your site, and trust it with their data?

They can when it’s built for it. We review, fix and build your website to AODA/WCAG standards, and set up privacy-by-design for PIPEDA/PHIPA, with the paperwork to show for it.

What’s included

What do we check, fix and set up?

We check your website’s accessibility, the personal information it collects, and the policies around both. Then we fix what we find and document it.

Accessibility review

Worth a closer look6
PIPEDAFederal privacy law for personal information collected in commercial activity. Alberta, B.C. and Quebec have their own laws, but PIPEDA still covers information that crosses borders. Likely applies
AODA · WCAG 2.0 AAThe website rule starts at 50 employees, but other AODA standards, like accessible customer service, apply to you. WCAG is the benchmark to build to. Worth checking
Cookie notice & consentTell visitors what you track and get meaningful consent for it. Worth checking
CASLCommercial emails and texts need consent, your identification details and an unsubscribe that you act on within 10 business days. Likely applies
Electronic monitoring policyOntario employers with 25+ employees on January 1 need a written electronic monitoring policy in place before March 1. Likely applies
Pay-transparent job postingsSince January 1, 2026, public job ads from Ontario employers with 25+ employees need expected pay or a range, an AI-screening disclosure and a vacancy statement. Likely applies
General information, not legal advice. Ask your lawyer how these rules apply to your business.
Plain-language WCAG

What does “built to WCAG” actually mean?

It means every page passes four plain tests: people can perceive it, operate it, understand it, and use it with their own tools. We check by hand with a keyboard and a screen reader, not only an automated scanner.

PERCEIVABLE Can people see or hear it?

Alt text on images, captions on video, and text with enough contrast to read.

OPERABLE Can they use it without a mouse?

Every menu, button and form works with a keyboard, with a visible focus outline.

UNDERSTANDABLE Does it make sense?

Clear labels, plain language and error messages that say how to fix the problem.

ROBUST Does it work with their tools?

Clean code that screen readers, magnifiers and voice control can understand.

And for privacy Collect only what you need Say why, before you collect A named privacy contact Retention limits Access & deletion requests A written breach plan

We’re not lawyers. For legal sign-off, we work alongside your lawyer.

How much does an accessibility and privacy review cost?
