Testimonial

Accessibility and VPATs are one of those things teams know they should understand, but often don't until a deal or procurement review forces the issue. As someone who's built enterprise and government-facing SaaS products, I genuinely wish we'd had a resource like VPAT Guide sooner. It explains what matters, why it matters, and how to do it in a way that's practical and honest. This isn't theory or checkbox compliance; it's real guidance that helps teams build better products and show credibility to serious buyers.
