Where is DoodleWeb based?

DoodleWeb is a Seattle, WA agency headquartered at Columbia Tower, 701 5th Ave, 42nd Floor, Seattle, WA 98104, United States. We serve clients across the United States.

How much does a DoodleWeb website cost?

DoodleWeb works with any budget. Our job is to find the best solution for your goals and budget. We ask the right questions and help you decide what you actually need, rather than selling you a website you do not need. For a smaller budget, we can take a templated approach, improve your existing site, or phase the work. We offer multiple suitable options, explain the tradeoffs, and agree on the scope and price before work begins.

How long does a website project take?

Marketing sites launch in 6–10 weeks, mid-market CMS platforms in 10–16 weeks, and enterprise Drupal, government, or commerce rebuilds in 4–6 months. Exact timeline, milestone dates, and acceptance criteria are written into the SOW before kickoff.

Can DoodleWeb get my brand cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude?

Yes. Our AEO/GEO program restructures content into Q&A patterns, ships FAQ / Organization / Article / BreadcrumbList JSON-LD schema, publishes /llms.txt and /llms-full.txt, and runs weekly citation tests across all four major answer engines so engines extract and cite your brand. Initial citations typically appear within 30–60 days.

SERVICE · HIGHER-ED ACCESSIBILITY

Section 508 and WCAG Accessibility for Higher Education Websites.

ADA, Section 508, and WCAG 2.1 AA conformance for U.S. university and college sites. Audits, remediation, VPATs, and ongoing monitoring — so accessibility is a program, not a lawsuit response.

Book a call

Why this matters now

The DOJ's 2024 Title II rule made WCAG 2.1 Level AA the accessibility standard for public colleges and universities, with staggered compliance deadlines in 2026 and 2027. OCR complaints on .edu sites are also up sharply. This is the year to get ahead of it.

WHAT WE DO

Audits, remediation, and monitoring.

A complete accessibility program for your .edu — not a one-off audit that sits in a shared drive.

Accessibility audits

A full manual and automated audit against WCAG 2.1 AA and Section 508. Delivered as a prioritized remediation plan with severity, effort, and legal-risk scoring — not a 400-page PDF you can't act on.

Remediation

We fix what the audit found. Templates, components, PDFs, forms, media, and third-party embeds. Every change reviewed against WCAG success criteria before deploy.

VPAT preparation

A Voluntary Product Accessibility Template written to the current ITI standard so procurement, legal, and OCR responses have a defensible document.

Ongoing monitoring

Automated axe and pa11y checks in CI, monthly crawl-based regression reports, and quarterly manual reviews so accessibility stays fixed after launch.

Editor training

Live training for content editors on accessible headings, links, alt text, tables, and media — so new content doesn't reintroduce the issues we just fixed.

OCR / DOJ response support

If you've received an OCR complaint or DOJ inquiry, we help scope the remediation, draft the response plan, and stand up the technical fixes on your timeline.

OUR METHOD

Five steps to verifiable conformance.

Scope

Site inventory, template map, and priority-page selection. We audit what actually matters — top-traffic and legally-required pages first.

Audit

Manual assistive-tech testing (NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver) plus automated axe scans. Every finding mapped to a WCAG success criterion and severity.

Report

A remediation plan sorted by risk and effort, not by file path. Includes a VPAT draft if you need one for procurement or OCR.

Remediate

We fix templates, components, and content. Fixes verified against the original finding before we mark it closed.

Monitor

Automated regression checks in CI plus monthly crawl-based reports so new issues surface within days, not months.

QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

Accessibility questions from university teams.

Public colleges and universities are subject to ADA Title II and, in most cases, Section 504 and Section 508. The DOJ's 2024 Title II rule requires WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance for public entities on staggered deadlines (April 2026 or April 2027 depending on institution size). Private institutions receiving federal funding are covered by Section 504 and increasingly by ADA Title III case law.

A VPAT isn't legally required for your own website, but it's often required for third-party software your institution purchases. We prepare VPATs when you're vendoring out platforms, and we can review vendor VPATs during procurement.

Yes. Most accessibility engagements we run are on existing sites — Drupal, WordPress, Sitecore, or custom — that another team built. We audit, remediate, and hand back with monitoring in place.

A focused priority-page audit typically runs 2 to 4 weeks. A full site audit for a mid-size university runs 4 to 8 weeks. Remediation runs alongside, phased by risk.

We've helped institutions respond to Office for Civil Rights complaints. We scope the required remediation, document the fixes for the response letter, and stand up ongoing monitoring so it doesn't happen again.

Yes. PDF remediation (tags, reading order, alt text), video captioning and audio description, and accessible embed strategy for third-party platforms are all in scope.
