What happens after your website is fixed?
Quick question: What happens after your website’s accessibility is fixed?
If your answer is something like, “We’re good now,” then we should talk—because that mindset is one of the fastest ways teams end up right back where they started.
Here’s the truth: accessibility isn’t a one-and-done fix. It’s a capability. And unless it is built into how your team builds, it won’t last.
At AFixt, we work with product and engineering teams who are serious about doing this right - not just to check a compliance box, but to make accessibility a repeatable, scalable part of their development process.
Let’s walk through what actually happens after the audit is over—and how to avoid slipping backward.
What we see most often:
The “We fixed it” mindset. You cleaned up templates and key flows, but marketing rolls out new landing pages weekly, and QA is juggling too much to verify accessibility every sprint. Within months, issues creep back in.
Dependency on external fixes. Maybe you hired a vendor to do the heavy lifting. But your team didn’t learn why the changes mattered. So the next release breaks things all over again.
Outdated standards. You hit WCAG 2.1 AA and called it a win, but didn’t plan for 2.2, let alone 3.0. You’re one redesign away from being out of compliance - and out of time to fix it.
Sound familiar? You’re not alone. These are common. But they’re also avoidable.
Here’s what high-maturity organizations do instead: They treat accessibility the same way they treat security, performance, or CI/CD—something that’s baked into how they operate, not layered on at the end.
That’s where we come in.
AFixt helps teams build a long-term accessibility program that holds up under growth, change, and pressure. We help you move beyond the audit and into a sustainable, scalable model based on the W3C Accessibility Maturity Framework.
What does that look like in practice?
Real ownership. We help define internal accountability, from governance to sprint-level responsibility—so accessibility doesn’t fall through the cracks.
Process integration. From story templates to release checklists to CI/CD gating, we make sure accessibility fits into your team’s actual workflow.
Practical skill-building. No generic webinars here. We run targeted, role-specific training that helps designers, developers, and QA leads solve real problems, not just pass a quiz.
Continuous validation. Automated checks are great, but they miss things. We add human reviews, user testing, and periodic audits so issues get caught early—before they go live.
Strategic roadmapping. We help you prepare for what’s next—new WCAG versions, revisions to the ADA, global laws like the European Accessibility Act, and emerging risks across your product stack.
The biggest risk? Thinking you’re done.
We’ve seen organizations invest in a full accessibility audit, only to be sued six months later - because they didn’t build the processes to keep up.
Accessibility decay is real. And the cost of inaction isn’t just legal risk—it’s missed customers, damaged trust, and costly rework that could’ve been avoided with the right systems in place.
So what should you do now?
Start by finding out where you really stand.
Our Accessibility Maturity Assessment gives you a clear, objective picture of your current strengths and gaps—and a roadmap to move forward. It’s fast, actionable, and designed for teams who want more than a compliance checklist.
