DHS Certified Trusted Tester
Structured accessibility testing grounded in established testing procedures and documented evaluation methods.
Accessibility Expertise with a Practical, Hands-On Approach
Kaffeinated Kodemonkey is a small, specialized web accessibility business founded by Heather Welsh. We combine web development experience with dedicated accessibility testing to help organizations identify barriers, understand their impact, and make informed improvements.
As a DHS Certified Trusted Tester, Heather brings a structured approach to manual accessibility evaluation, supported by automated scanning and practical technical knowledge. Our work focuses on more than identifying potential issues—we help clients understand evaluation findings, prioritize remediation, and document their accessibility efforts.
We work with public agencies, educational institutions, and businesses that need experienced accessibility support, whether they are evaluating an existing website, improving development practices, or building accessibility into a new digital project.
Our approach is straightforward: practical expertise, clear reporting, and support tailored to your organization's needs.

Automated Scanning Is a Starting Point. Manual Testing Goes Further
Automated accessibility tools can identify many potential issues across a website, helping teams establish a baseline and prioritize areas for review. However, automated results alone cannot determine whether every aspect of a website is accessible.
At Kaffeinated Kodemonkey, we combine automated accessibility scanning with manual testing using the DHS Trusted Tester process. This approach helps us investigate potential barriers, evaluate applicable accessibility requirements, and document findings that teams can use to plan remediation.
Our evaluation process includes:
- Automated baseline scanning: Identify potential issues, recurring patterns, and pages or features that need closer attention.
- Structured manual testing: Evaluate applicable accessibility requirements using the DHS Trusted Tester process.
- Documented findings: Record results in a WCAG report with suggested remediation steps to help organizations understand what needs attention.
The result is a more useful picture of your website's accessibility than an automated scan alone can provide.

Frequently Asked Questions About Web Accessibility
A website accessibility evaluation examines a website for barriers that may prevent people with disabilities from accessing or using its content and functionality. Kaffeinated Kodemonkey combines automated scanning with manual testing using the DHS Trusted Tester process to document findings and recommend improvements.
The Proof of Compliance Certificate (POCC) is part of Kaffeinated Kodemonkey's accessibility evaluation and documentation package. The package includes an Accessibility Statement, a WCAG report, and suggested remediations. It documents the evaluation performed and its findings; it is not a government-issued certification or a guarantee of legal compliance.
Automated scanning can identify many potential accessibility issues efficiently, but it cannot reliably evaluate every accessibility requirement. Manual testing allows an evaluator to examine applicable requirements and interactions more closely. Combining both approaches provides more useful findings than relying on automated results alone.
Yes. Organizations that need an Accessibility Conformance Report can request a separate evaluation and reporting option using the applicable Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT). The appropriate reporting approach depends on the product or service being evaluated and the organization's requirements.
Yes. Kaffeinated Kodemonkey supports public agencies, educational institutions, and businesses with accessibility evaluations, documentation, monitoring, and accessibility-first web development. Services can be discussed in the context of your organization's requirements and existing digital environment.
Yes. We can provide remediation guidance, accessibility consulting, monitoring, and development support. The appropriate next step depends on your findings, your team's capabilities, and whether you need help correcting issues or monitoring changes over time.
No single scan or evaluation can guarantee that a website will remain accessible or satisfy every legal obligation. An evaluation documents the scope of testing and the findings identified during that process. Ongoing maintenance, content changes, and follow-up testing remain important parts of accessibility management.
