Blind-led accessibility audits for websites, portals, mobile apps, and customer-facing documents.

About Guidepost

A focused accessibility practice built around careful review.

Guidepost Accessibility helps businesses improve real usability through scoped audits, clear findings, and steady follow-through. The tone is intentionally plain: say what was reviewed, say what was found, and say what still needs work.

Founder perspective

Blind-led review changes what gets noticed early.

The founder uses assistive technology directly, which helps keep the work anchored in task completion, announcements, labeling, recovery paths, and the practical details that determine whether a flow is actually usable.

Operating principles

  • Human-reviewed, plain-spoken, and built for implementation teams
  • No overlays, fake scores, or blanket immunity claims
  • Built for websites, portals, documents, and native mobile apps
  • Scoped verification that stays date-bound and honest

What working together should feel like

Calm, direct, and specific.

Clients should know what is in scope, what is out of scope, what was tested, what needs attention first, and how follow-up will work. The goal is to reduce ambiguity, not create more of it.

What Guidepost will not do

No inflated claims, no mystery process.

Guidepost does not sell blanket approval language, instant compliance claims, or vague “AI score” outputs. If the scope is partial, the record should say so plainly.

What clients can expect

A working style centered on clarity, realism, and usable detail.

Plain-spoken reporting

Clients get clear findings, implementation guidance, and scope notes that product, design, engineering, and leadership teams can use.

Human review guided by real assistive technology use

Automated tooling can support the workflow, but the service is grounded in manual testing, blind-led screen reader review, cross-platform browser coverage, and real task completion.

Accessibility built into the workflow itself

The internal tools, verification pages, and client experience are being built to be accessible from day one, not patched later.

FAQ

Common questions about the practice and positioning

Do you guarantee legal compliance?

No. Guidepost Accessibility supports accessibility improvement through careful review, implementation guidance, and scoped verification. Legal conclusions belong to qualified counsel.

Do you sell an overlay or one-click scanner?

No. The service is built around blind-led review, manual testing, and clear issue documentation. Automated tooling, including scoped passes from Guidepost Beacon, can support the workflow, but it is not the product.

Do you review documents and forms too?

Yes. We can review customer-facing documents, PDFs, forms, and signing steps when they are part of the workflow. We assess accessibility and document the barriers, but PDF remediation itself is not the service.

Can you review mobile apps as well as websites?

Yes. Mobile audits are a first-class service from day one, including iOS and Android workflows such as onboarding, authentication, purchases, settings, and assistive technology behavior.

Which browsers and platforms do you test on?

Testing can include Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android, with Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari where relevant. Native mobile audits also cover iOS and Android behavior directly, not just browser layout checks.

What kinds of deliverables do clients receive?

Depending on scope, clients receive issue documentation, executive summaries, business risk framing, implementation guidance, retest support, and public verification materials tied to defined review scope.

Can agencies bring you in as a partner?

Yes. Agencies can use Guidepost Accessibility as a specialist partner for scoped reviews, launch readiness, remediation support, or ongoing client support.
