Planning on Building a New Site?
Let’s Make It Accessible From the Start.
This isn’t about replacing remediation. It’s for two specific situations: you’re already planning a new website, or your current site is too far gone to fix efficiently. Either way, ClearPath Access builds it accessible from the ground up.

When This Is the Right Call

You’re Already Planning a New Site

You have a redesign or new build in the works and accessibility needs to be part of it from day one, not an afterthought addressed after launch. We integrate accessibility into your design and development process so you go live compliant and ready.

Your Current Site Isn’t Worth Fixing

Some sites have structural or technical issues so deeply baked in that remediation costs more than rebuilding. If that’s where you are, starting fresh with accessibility built in from the ground up is the smarter path.

Built In,
Not Bolted On

Building accessible from the ground up isn’t just about checking WCAG criterion boxes. It’s about making deliberate decisions at every stage of design and development so the end result works for everyone without compromise.

Accessible by Design, From the First Wireframe

Accessibility decisions made in the design phase cost a fraction of what they cost after development. We review and inform every layout, color choice, and interaction pattern before a single line of code is written.

Clean, Semantic Code

We build with proper HTML structure, ARIA attributes, and keyboard navigation baked in from the start, so assistive technologies work the way they’re supposed to without workarounds.

WCAG 2.1 AA Compliance, Verified

Every page is tested against WCAG 2.1 AA standards before handoff, not with a scanner alone, but with manual testing and assistive technology review.

An Accessibility Statement and Documentation You Can Stand Behind

You launch with a current, accurate accessibility statement and a remediation record your compliance team can actually use.

Built for Your Team to Manage

An accessible site only stays accessible if the people maintaining it can work in it confidently. We build on a CMS your internal team is already comfortable with, document the patterns and components we create, and provide basic training so routine content updates don’t introduce new barriers after launch.
Case Study

Built for Everyone
SSSRA Website Redesign

Every project is different. Here’s a recent example of what accessibility-first design and development looks like from start to finish.
The Challenge
South Suburban Special Recreation Association (SSSRA) provides adaptive recreational programs and events for individuals with disabilities. Their old website didn’t reflect that mission. It was inaccessible, non-responsive, visually dated, and structured in a way that made it nearly impossible for participants, parents, and supporters to find what they needed. Registration required downloading inaccessible PDFs. There was no analytics baseline. The site was working against the people it was supposed to serve.
What We Did

We rebuilt the site from the ground up, starting with a full information architecture strategy designed around three distinct audiences: participants and parents looking to register for programs and events, and community members looking to support the organization through donations, volunteering, or employment.

From there, a new, energizing visual design was created to match the vibrancy of the organization’s mission. A custom programs and events manager was built so visitors could browse everything SSSRA offers without downloading a single PDF. GA4 with full event tracking was implemented to establish a real analytics baseline for the first time.

The Result

The site launched in February 2026 with a 100% accessibility score across both automated and manual WCAG 2.1 AA audits. Within months of launch, it was generating waitlist submissions, newsletter registrations, scholarship applications, inclusion aid requests, and contact inquiries, with real engagement data the organization had never had before.
