"I purchased the WCAG Accessibility Report from Cyber Bark, and it helped us resolve several Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance issues on our website. What impressed me the most was that the report was priceless – it even identified typos and broken links we didn't even know we had. The Cyber Bark team did an excellent job of explaining everything clearly and telling us how to navigate the findings. She also worked directly with our web developers to ensure that the improvements were implemented correctly. Truly a great company to work with. highly recommended!"
