US Federal Government Clients
“We have been very careful to ensure how we conduct reviews is very open and transparent. That’s why we favor testing engines such as axe-core, because it’s open-source and we can point to the rules. It’s important that it’s reliable and it all comes down to detail a lot of the time with what we do with these public bodies”
