Frequently asked questions
- What is a VPAT?A VPAT (Voluntary Product Accessibility Template) is a standardized accessibility template that displays the results of an audit for section 508 compliance.
- Will a VPAT make my website more accessible?A VPAT/ACR is a compliance report of the overall accessibility of your website or product rather than a detailed audit. If your objective is to improve the accessibility of your website, then our expert audit identifies all the accessibility gaps and gives you suggested code fixes to resolve the issues.
- How often do I need a new VPAT?A new VPAT is required annually or after significant changes are made to your website or digital asset
- Do you offer VPATs for mobile apps?Yes. We offer VPATs for both Android and iOS apps.
- Do I need to fix the accessibility issues noted in my VPAT?The minimum requirement in most cases is to complete the VPAT/ACR even with existing accessibility issues. Some government agencies will want to see that your accessibility standards are according to regulation. Industry best practice is to first do an expert audit, fix any accessibility issues, and then get your VPAT done.
- How quickly can you finish my VPAT?We can complete your VPAT in approximately 10 business days. The exact turnaround time will depend on the scope and complexity of the work. You will be given a project completion date with your free custom quote. While you wait, we can supply you with a Letter of Engagement to validate your VPAT process.
- Can I do my VPAT by myself?No. Being intimately familiar with the criteria of the WCAG is critical to filling out a VPAT. It is therefore necessary to seek the services of accessibility and compliance experts to complete the VPAT for you. accessiBe’s VPATs come with the added benefit of industry credibility and trust.
- What does a VPAT check?The VPAT testing assesses your website’s accessibility for things like assistive technology compatibility, alt text for images, and other fundamental accessibility requirements in WCAG.
