<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">Our institution is looking to perform a web accessibility audit on our web sites. While there seem to be a number of tools to help with doing this on our own, I wondered if anyone has ever outsourced this? If so,
are there recommended companies? Or recommendations for ways to go about finding one? Looking on Google and through the Athens archives turned up few results.
