VPATForge

Section 508 · WCAG 2.1 AA · VPAT 2.5

Accessibility evidence,
ready for federal review.

VPATForge scans your site against Section 508 and WCAG 2.1 AA, then produces a graded report and VPAT draft that hold up in procurement. Built for contractors and SaaS vendors selling into government.

Public URLs only. No signup required. Grade in about 15 seconds.

  • WCAG 2.1 AA + Section 508 ruleset
  • Plain-English fixes for every finding
  • VPAT draft included

Sample output

A grade a procurement officer can read in ten seconds.

Every scan produces a letter grade, a prioritized findings ledger, and a conformance summary mapped to Section 508 chapters and WCAG success criteria. No vibes — just criteria and evidence.

Who's behind it

Built and operated by a security-cleared DoD engineer.

VPATForge is a small, focused practice — not a marketing-heavy consultancy. It's built and run by one engineer with an active DoD security clearance who builds software for federal environments.

Honest about the limits

Automated accessibility scanners catch roughly 30–40% of WCAG issues. The rest — keyboard traps, screen reader flow, meaningful sequence — requires a human running the product.

That's why every paid tier includes manual review. The free scan is a useful starting diagnostic; the VPAT and Full Audit are where a person actually looks at your product.

No certifications are claimed. No auditor stamp. Just careful work, plain language, and evidence you can put in a procurement file.
