Making the Web Accessible for Everyone
Hi, I'm Miguel. I help organizations make their websites, documents, and digital products accessible. Everyone deserves an inclusive web experience.
What I Offer
Services for organizations ready to make digital accessibility a priority
Accessibility Testing
I test websites and digital products to find accessibility barriers and provide detailed reports with actionable recommendations.
Document Remediation
I make PDFs, Word documents, and other files accessible so everyone can read and use them, including people using screen readers.
3-Month Projects
I work with organizations on ongoing accessibility improvements, testing, coaching, and implementation support.
Podcast Services
I create, edit, and produce podcasts at a fixed price. Need help getting your podcast off the ground? Let's talk.
Accessibility for All Disabilities
Accessibility isn't just about blindness or screen readers. It's about removing barriers for people with all types of disabilities:
- Vision disabilities: Blindness, low vision, color blindness
- Hearing disabilities: Deafness, hard of hearing (captions, transcripts, visual alerts)
- Motor disabilities: Limited mobility, tremors, paralysis (keyboard navigation, large click targets)
- Cognitive disabilities: Learning disabilities, ADHD, autism (clear language, predictable navigation, sufficient time)
- Vestibular disabilities: Vertigo, motion sensitivity (avoiding animations and moving content)
- Speech disabilities: Voice control alternatives
When you make your website or documents accessible to one group, you improve the experience for everyone. Clear language helps non-native speakers. Captions help people in noisy environments. Good keyboard navigation helps everyone.
Assistive Technology We Test For
I test websites and digital products to work with the assistive technologies people use every day
Braille Displays
Refreshable braille technology for blind users
Audio Devices
For hearing captions, audio descriptions, and assistive listening
Switch Controls
For hands-free and motor-accessible navigation
Screen Readers & Magnification
For reading content aloud and enlarging text
About Me
I'm Miguel Viveros Chavez, a Section 508 Trusted Tester and accessibility consultant. I started One Step Access because I'm passionate about making digital content accessible for everyone.
With over 200 accessibility testing projects at higher education institutions and a background in Business Administration, I understand both the technical and business sides of accessibility.
I'm based in Portland, Oregon, and work with organizations both locally and remotely to identify accessibility barriers and create practical solutions.
Why This Matters
Inaccessible websites and documents create real barriers for people with disabilities. When digital content isn't accessible, you're excluding users and potentially violating accessibility laws like Section 508.
I started One Step Access because I believe making the web accessible shouldn't be complicated. I work with organizations to test their digital products, fix accessibility issues, and build better practices.
If you're serious about accessibility, I'm here to help you take that first step.
My Background
I'm a Section 508 Trusted Tester (certified in 2024) and a first-generation college graduate from Eastern Oregon University with a degree in Business Administration.
I've tested over 200 products at higher education institutions including Clark College, Eastern Oregon University, and Portland Community College. This real-world experience helps me understand how accessibility impacts students and users.
I'm based in Portland, Oregon, and I work with clients both locally and remotely.
