Accessibility craft
Manual WCAG evaluation, assistive-technology testing, severity decisions, and conformance documentation.
About the practice
Senior attention without the agency relay race.
A11y Consultants is an independent practice led by Artur Aronov in Richmond Hill, Ontario. The work combines accessibility testing, software development, and technical delivery, not layers of account management.

The background
What experience is actually behind the work
Artur spent four years doing accessibility work on enterprise investor-relations properties, including WCAG review and conformance documentation in environments where legal and procurement teams scrutinize the output.
That work was performed as part of a larger team, not as the owner of those client relationships. It built strong experience with content-heavy, template-driven sites, investor disclosure, and the standard of evidence enterprise reviewers expect.
His broader software and technical delivery background adds the second half of the practice: reading the implementation, working alongside developers, sequencing changes, and staying through release instead of treating the report as the finish line.
Why the combination matters
Three disciplines in one engagement
Development fluency
Findings traced to tokens, components, templates, and code patterns so remediation guidance is specific.
Delivery discipline
Work sequenced with the client team, risks surfaced early, decisions documented, and fixes verified.
Operating principles
What you can expect
No legal theatre
Findings state observable barriers and technical standards, not predictions that a company “will be sued.” Legal conclusions go to counsel.
No fake certification
No private party can certify universal WCAG or legal compliance. Reports document the tested scope, method, result, and limitations.
No disability-as-branding
The practice’s credibility is technical and delivery-based. Disabled people are the users affected by the work, not a marketing device.
No disappearing after delivery
Every audit includes a live walkthrough and a defined route into remediation and verification.
