WCAG Accessibility Audit & Evaluation
Based in Rangely, Colorado, Kaffeinated Kodemonkey conducts scoped WCAG accessibility audits for organizations across the United States. Audits help teams understand potential barriers and plan remediation in relation to applicable accessibility requirements. An evaluation is not a legal opinion or a guarantee of compliance with the ADA, HB21-1110, or other laws.
Manual evaluations follow the DHS Trusted Tester Process against the agreed WCAG criteria. POCC packages include a WCAG Evaluation & Audit Report (WEAR) and supporting Proof of Compliance Certificate (POCC) documents. The RFP-POCC package provides a VPAT/Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR) instead of a WEAR. Automated scans powered by WAVE are required for the Standard and POCC-SAR packages and are not included with RFP-POCC or Basic Government POCC. POCC materials document the evaluation and are not government-issued certification or a legal determination.
We recommend a new evaluation annually or after a major website update, since content, code, and third-party components can change. Quarterly POCC evaluations are also available, with automated scanning, an updated WEAR, and POCC documentation each quarter. Explore our accessibility monitoring service for ongoing access to automated findings between evaluations.

Pricing, Scope, and Service Notes
Pricing and Evaluation Scope
Published prices are starting prices. A written quote confirms your package, scope, and fees. Final pricing depends on application scope, page and template coverage, interactive functionality, and agreed evaluation requirements. Required automated scan fees are based on the applicable page allowance and are identified in your quote.
Applicable criteria, testing methods, pages, templates, user journeys, and deliverables are defined for each engagement. Findings describe the documented evaluation scope and do not guarantee that every accessibility barrier has been identified.
Accessibility Documentation
The WEAR documents the manual evaluation scope and findings and is included in Basic Government, Standard, and POCC-SAR packages. A VPAT is the reporting template used to prepare an Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR). The applicable template edition and reporting criteria should match the client's requirements.
A Section 508 Supplemental Accessibility Report (SAR) is available as a separately scoped and quoted add-on. Requirements and supporting documentation will be confirmed during scoping.
Retest and Upgrade Options
For Standard and POCC-SAR packages, the 60-day retest credit covers targeted verification of issues identified in the original evaluation, subject to engagement terms. It excludes a full re-evaluation and unrelated or later platform changes.
Eligible clients may qualify to apply 25% to 45% of their initial audit investment toward an upgraded tier within 12 months, subject to applicable terms. Confirm eligibility and credit amount during scoping.
Quarterly POCC and Optional Website Support
Quarterly POCC Evaluations
Receive an evaluation each quarter with automated scanning, a regenerated WEAR, and updated POCC documentation. The annual automated scan fee is billed in the first quarter. The remaining three quarterly invoices cover the agreed evaluation and documentation services. Pricing is quoted for your website and testing scope.
Website Maintenance
Maintenance is available at $75 per hour, with a one-hour minimum. A $320 monthly maintenance plan includes up to three hours of maintenance each month and an annual POCC evaluation with updated WEAR and POCC documentation for the agreed site scope. Additional work and any required automated scan fees are quoted separately.
Small Government Website Hosting and Annual POCC
Annual hosting with a POCC evaluation and updated documentation is available for $480 per year for eligible, very small government websites developed and maintained by Kaffeinated Kodemonkey, typically 5–10 pages or fewer. Includes minor remediation within the agreed evaluation scope. Ongoing content updates and other maintenance are billed separately. Automated scanning is not included.
What Your Evaluation Documents
A POCC package documents the evaluation process, the scope of testing, and the resulting accessibility findings through its included reports and supporting materials. The seal identifies the associated package; it should be read together with evaluation documentation and scope. It does not certify legal compliance or guarantee that every barrier was found.
Accessibility is an ongoing responsibility. Websites, applications, content, and third-party components can change after an evaluation. Organizations should continue to monitor accessibility, address identified issues, and reassess material changes as appropriate.
