David Berman Communications is a specialist consultancy focused on universal design, accessibility strategy, audits, training, and technical support. The website also mentions software development, IT support subscriptions, and legacy time, billing, and production management software such as TimeWise for Windows. Based on the publicly available information, however, its main focus appears to be accessibility compliance services rather than a standardized SaaS platform.
Its accessibility services cover standards including WCAG 2.0/2.1, Level A/AA/AAA, AODA, ADA, Section 508, IITAA, and PDF/UA. Its methodology is built around three stages: audit/gap analysis, remediation guidance or programming, and retesting/certification. It can also provide third-party compliance assessments, opinion letters, and certificates.
The audit process emphasizes manual item-by-item review, assistive technology testing, and the use of tools such as AChecker, Acrobat Pro, CommonLook, Deque, WAVE, and the W3C validation suite. Other deliverables include document and multimedia remediation, remote or on-site training, usability testing, and coaching for development teams.
Public pricing is mainly available for the Helpdesk Subscription Service: a minimum of 4 hours per month at US$95/hour, prepaid quarterly. With a commitment of at least 12 months, the rate drops to US$75/hour. Unused time can be carried over for up to one month, and time from David Berman himself is consumed at a 2:1 rate. Accessibility audits, PDF remediation, training, and development services do not have standard packages listed and require a custom quote.
The strengths are broad standards coverage, deep compliance experience, and the ability to provide a complete loop from audit and remediation through to certification. It also supports multiple remote collaboration channels, including email, phone, Teams, Zoom, Slack, Google Chat, Skype, and SMS. For organizations facing regulatory, procurement, or audit requirements, its third-party assessments and certificates can be particularly valuable.
The drawbacks are that information is scattered and, apart from the Helpdesk offering, pricing transparency is limited. TimeWise is described as legacy software, and its modern SaaS capabilities are unclear. The website also does not disclose common enterprise software features such as APIs, role-based access controls, data hosting details, or security certifications.
It is suitable for government bodies, associations, corporate websites/internal portals, education or public service organizations, and content or development teams that need accessibility compliance for PDFs, websites, or multimedia. It is less suitable for users looking for an out-of-the-box SaaS dashboard, an automated monitoring platform, or standard API integrations.
