About
LevelAccess is a pioneering digital accessibility platform founded in 1999, offering a full lifecycle solution for managing accessibility across websites, mobile apps, and digital products. The platform is structured around three core pillars: Audit & Test, Build & Fix, and Governance & Reporting. The Audit & Test layer combines automated scanning with expert-led manual evaluations to identify accessibility barriers against all major standards including WCAG, ADA, EAA, AODA, and Section 508. The Build & Fix layer provides AI-powered remediation tools and developer-focused resources to resolve issues at the code level, including an automated remediation engine that can fix common problems at scale. Governance & Reporting tools enable organizations to monitor progress, document compliance, and generate VPATs (Voluntary Product Accessibility Templates) and ACRs. Additional add-ons include Level CI for integrating accessibility testing into CI/CD pipelines, Mobile Testing for native iOS and Android apps, and LevelDocs for generating accessible PDFs directly from Microsoft Office files. The Level Access Academy provides training and certifications for teams at every level. LevelAccess is purpose-built for enterprise teams, compliance officers, developers, designers, and accessibility professionals who need a centralized, auditable, and scalable solution. It is trusted by leading brands across financial services, higher education, e-commerce, government, and B2B software markets.
