Accessibility, speed, and machine readability share root causes.
A button a screen reader can't name is also a button an AI agent can't find. A script that delays a key press also slows your checkout. We audit, fix, and monitor these as one engineering problem, in your source code.
The same defect shows up in four different reports
Most organizations buy accessibility testing from one vendor, speed work from another, and a privacy review from a third. Each report describes the same pages from a different angle, and each recommends a different fix.
Meanwhile the pages keep getting heavier. The 2026 WebAIM Million counted 1,437 elements on the average home page, and home pages that used ARIA averaged 59.1 detectable errors, versus 42 on pages without it. WebAIM is careful to call that a correlation, not a cause. The usual story behind it is ARIA bolted onto custom controls that should have been native HTML.
The root causes repeat across disciplines:
- Heavy pages and unowned scripts tie up the main thread, so key presses and screen-reader announcements arrive late and Interaction to Next Paint gets worse.
- Unlabeled controls stop screen-reader users, and they stop AI agents, which read the same accessibility tree.
- Misused ARIA tells assistive technology one thing while the page does another.
Fix the component, the template, or the tag, and several reports improve at once.

Starting prices are listed with each service. Every engagement begins with a free 30-minute scoping call, and most start with one service and add others only when the evidence points to them.
Accessibility
Find, fix, and document the barriers that stop people using your site.
Performance & Governance
Make pages fast to respond and keep third-party code on a short leash.
Digital Asset Auditing
Know everything you publish, and how machines read it.
Monitoring & Prevention
Keep it fixed after launch day, and stop new barriers at the source.
How engagements usually run, from first look to steady state
Not every organization needs every step. This is the most common order, and each step produces evidence the next one builds on.
Rapid Snapshot
We check up to eight key templates with automated and manual testing and give you a ranked list of what blocks people today, with a 60-minute readout. It starts at $1,450 and tells you whether a full audit is worth it.
Full WCAG 2.2 audit
An analyst tests your templates and critical journeys against all 55 A and AA success criteria with keyboards, zoom, and four screen readers. Findings are grouped by component, so fixing can start where one change clears the most pages. See the audit.
Remediation sprints
We fix shared components first, as reviewed pull requests or theme changes, then retest against the original findings. Performance and script fixes often ride in the same sprints, because they touch the same templates.
Baclion Watch
Weekly scans, field performance data, script-change alerts, and quarterly manual checks keep the fixes in place as content and code change. A plain-English report arrives every month.
Bolt-on widget or source-code engineering?
A bolt-on overlay widget
- Adds a script that tries to rewrite the page in the visitor's browser after it loads
- Leaves your templates and components unchanged, so every new page starts with the same barriers
- Adds its own JavaScript to the main thread of the page it claims to improve
- Can conflict with the screen readers and settings people already rely on
Source-code engineering
- Changes the components and templates your site is built from
- Fixes a shared component once, so every page that uses it improves
- Removes weight instead of adding it, which helps Core Web Vitals too
- Leaves a reviewed pull request, a retest, and a dated record of what changed
Questions buyers ask before choosing a service
Where should we start if we don't know what we need?
Start with a Rapid Accessibility Snapshot or a free scoping call. The Snapshot shows what blocks people on your key templates today, and the readout tells you which service, if any, comes next. If a demand letter or a procurement deadline is behind the question, tell us on the call, because that changes the order.
Do you install an accessibility widget or overlay?
No. We fix the HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and content your site is built from. Overlays leave the underlying code unchanged, and the FTC has taken action over one vendor's claims; we explain the details in our article on the FTC order.
Can you work with our developers or our agency?
Yes. Most of our remediation arrives as pull requests your team reviews, and we pair with in-house developers when you want the skills to stay with you. We can also hand findings to your agency in a format their issue tracker accepts.
Do you work outside Kentucky?
Yes. We're based in Bowling Green and take on work across Kentucky, the Nashville area, and the Ohio Valley, in person when it helps. Everything we do can also be delivered remotely, nationwide.
Are you a law firm?
No. Baclion is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. We produce technical evidence, fixes, and reports, and we work alongside your attorney when a legal question is involved.
