We work with companies in the United States remotely: there is no Dardo office in the United States. Calls happen on video, in English or Spanish, and everything we agree goes into a written proposal. Bogotá keeps UTC−5 all year, with no daylight saving time. New York is on the same clock as Bogotá in January and 1 hour ahead of Bogotá in July, so a nine-to-five day in New York shares 7–8 working hours with a nine-to-five day in Bogotá. A project starts with a brief through the [contact form](https://dardo.studio/en/contact/?service=web-accessibility), by email to hello@dardo.studio or on WhatsApp. Nicolás replies within one business day with the questions that set the scope. The proposal that follows lists the scope, deliverables, assumptions, exclusions, payment stages, a timeline and the people doing the work, by name. Published starting prices: Accessibility audit from USD 690. Anything beyond that is quoted by scope, with no minimum budget. [Pricing](https://dardo.studio/en/pricing/) explains how a quote is built. ## What the accessibility audit and remediation include We shape the engagement around the actual brief. The proposal identifies which of these deliverables are included, who supplies the inputs and how each one is accepted. - Automated scan of every sampled page, plus manual testing of key journeys - Keyboard, screen reader, zoom and reflow, and contrast testing - Report of issues mapped to WCAG success criteria, with screenshots, severity and the fix - Remediation in code, content and the design system - Retest of every fixed issue - Accessibility statement with a route to report barriers - Checks added to the release process so issues do not return The [web accessibility service page](https://dardo.studio/en/services/web-accessibility/) has the full scope, the process and the questions buyers ask. ## Rules a website in the United States has to meet These are the rules we plan around for sites that serve customers in the United States. They are a starting point, not legal advice. - **The ADA and websites:** the Department of Justice says the Americans with Disabilities Act covers the websites of businesses open to the public, and points to WCAG as the reference. - **State and local governments:** a 2024 DOJ rule requires WCAG 2.1 AA from state and local government websites, from April 2026 for larger governments and April 2027 for smaller ones. We build to WCAG 2.2 AA and set up consent and forms for these rules from the first brief. ## Work you can check Projects from 2026, each with its published result: - [Janus Observatory](https://dardo.studio/en/work/janus-observatory/) (Science / Interactive storytelling, 2026). −47.9% 3D models: 8.2 MB instead of 15.8 MB. - [Hyper](https://dardo.studio/en/work/hyper/) (AI / Customer intelligence, 2026).

Each project is quoted by scope in an itemized written proposal in US dollars, with no minimum budget. **Will an accessibility audit make us legally compliant?** No audit can guarantee that. The audit finds where the site does not conform to WCAG 2.2 AA, remediation and retesting fix those issues, and the report and accessibility statement document the result. Whether a law applies to you, and what it requires, is for your counsel to confirm. **Do accessibility overlays or widgets work?** They do not fix the site's code, content or components, which is where accessibility failures are. In April 2025 the FTC approved a final order requiring accessiBe to pay $1 million over claims that its tool could make any website WCAG-compliant. Dardo fixes the site itself and does not sell overlays. ## Sources & further reading Sources behind this page, with further detail from the original publishers. - [Guidance on Web Accessibility and the ADA, ADA.gov](https://www.ada.gov/resources/web-guidance/) · ada.gov - [Fact Sheet: New Rule on the Accessibility of Web Content and Mobile Apps, ADA.gov](https://www.ada.gov/resources/2024-03-08-web-rule/) · ada.gov - [W3C: Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2](https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG22/) · w3.org - [W3C: WCAG 2.2 is a W3C Recommendation (5 October 2023)](https://www.w3.org/WAI/news/2023-10-05/wcag22rec) · w3.org - [W3C: WCAG 2.2 approved as ISO/IEC 40500:2025](https://www.w3.org/WAI/news/2025-10-21/wcag22-iso) · w3.org [Dardo](https://dardo.studio/) · [Accessibility by city](https://dardo.studio/en/web-accessibility/) · United States ## Start with a brief Send what you need, your languages and your deadline.
