Consulting

Clear Standard consulting

Practical accessibility expertise. Clear priorities. Lasting improvements.

Clear Standard helps public agencies, nonprofits, and service organizations make their digital services more accessible.

Clear Standard is my independent consulting practice for select projects. I’m also open to a strong full-time role in digital accessibility or governance—see About.

Let's talk about your project

How I can help

The examples below are recreated to illustrate my approach, due to confidentiality requirements. They are not actual client reports, workbooks or course materials.

01 / Accessibility Audits & Testing

Know where you stand.

Get a clear picture of the accessibility barriers affecting your websites, applications, and digital documents. I combine automated and manual testing, including keyboard and screen reader evaluation, to identify problems and recommend practical next steps.

You'll getClear findings, prioritized recommendations, and a useful starting point for improvement.

Accessibility review / Testing record

Test the experience, not just the code.

Automated evaluation
Identify patterns across pages and components.
Keyboard & screen reader
Review navigation, focus and reading order.
Findings & next steps
Connect each barrier to a practical recommendation.

02 / Remediation & Technical Guidance

Turn findings into fixes.

An audit shouldn't become another report gathering dust. I help teams make sense of accessibility findings, identify underlying causes, work with developers, and track improvements—turning a long list of issues into focused, practical work.

You'll getA focused remediation plan and guidance to help your team make meaningful progress.

Remediation / Working record

From a finding to a verified fix.

Finding: Accordion cannot be opened by keyboard
Root cause: Shared control responds only to pointer input
Action: Use a button with an announced expanded state
Owner: Development team

Verify keyboard and screen reader behavior

03 / Accessibility Training

Help your staff get it right the first time.

Accessible digital services start with the people creating the content. I develop practical training for employees who produce documents, presentations, web content, and other digital materials, with reusable resources that help them apply what they've learned.

You'll getRelevant training, reusable checklists, and guidance your staff can apply immediately.

Make accessibility part of how you work.

Accessibility is difficult to sustain without clear responsibilities and consistent processes. I help organizations develop practical roadmaps, publishing procedures, procurement guidance, and approaches to ongoing accessibility management that fit the way their teams work.

You'll getA workable strategy that fits your organization's priorities, resources, and responsibilities.

Why Clear Standard?

Independent advice. Practical solutions.

My approach is straightforward: understand the problem, focus on what matters, and help your team build the capability to keep improving.
