Question 1

What does Docketbriar monitoring check?

Accepted Answer

Docketbriar’s focused automated first pass checks six signals on reachable public pages of a submitted site: page titles, document language, image alt text, heading order, form labels, and link or button names. It stays within a bounded same-origin scan and does not inspect private areas or replace a broader accessibility review.

Question 2

What will the findings tell our small firm?

Accepted Answer

The report records the scan date and site URL, pages scanned, issue totals by severity and category, affected pages, plain-English explanations, and remediation guidance. Original issue details or selectors are included when available. This gives your firm and web provider a focused list to discuss; it does not make the website changes.

Question 3

How should a small firm approach remediation?

Accepted Answer

Assign each finding to someone on your team or your web provider. Prioritize barriers that affect more visitors or are practical to fix first, then record the changes and check that they work. Build on that work with staff guidance for meaningful alt text, structured documents, and keyboard navigation, and consider accessibility when adding content or tools.

Question 4

What does a baseline accessibility review include?

Accepted Answer

A broader review can examine pages, forms, images, navigation, visual design, and linked documents. A trained evaluator may use visual inspection, keyboard-only navigation, and assistive technology such as screen readers. Checks can include reading order, focus behavior, links and forms, color contrast, text resizing up to 200%, and animation pause controls. Confirm the pages and documents in scope with the reviewer.

Question 5

Does a scan or review guarantee compliance or legal protection?

Accepted Answer

No. A focused scan reports selected checks on the pages scanned, and a broader review records findings within its stated scope. Neither is a certification, a legal conclusion, or a promise of legal protection or guaranteed compliance. Accessibility work is ongoing: changes need to be checked, and new content and tools should be considered as the site evolves.
