The Problem
UK councils build internal apps on Microsoft Power Platform — inspections, licensing, planning, housing. Every one of them has no source control, no automated testing, no CI/CD, and no accessibility checking.
Defra's 2024 audit proved that Power Apps canvas controls cannot meet WCAG 2.2 AA at platform level. Councils using canvas apps for public-facing or post-2019 staff services face compliance obligations under the Public Sector Bodies Accessibility Regulations 2018.
What We Do
WCAG Accessibility Audits
Know exactly where your canvas apps fail WCAG 2.2 AA — and how to fix them. Branded compliance reports with A–F scoring, mapped to specific WCAG criteria, ready for your audit trail.
CI/CD Pipeline
Source control, automated testing, and one-command deployment for canvas apps. Catch formula errors, naming violations, non-delegable queries, and regressions before they reach production.
App Governance & Handover
When a citizen developer leaves, their apps become black boxes. Gatehouse generates a full handover pack — data sources, dead code, GDPR data processing, security findings, licensing costs — in one command. Everything a new owner needs to take over.
Accessible Components
Drop-in replacements for platform controls that fail accessibility at the framework level. Full keyboard navigation and screen reader support, WCAG 2.2 AA compliant out of the box.
333 community Power Apps audited. 65% fail basic accessibility checks. Even Microsoft's own Creator Kit has accessibility issues.
The first tool purpose-built for automated WCAG 2.2 auditing of Power Apps canvas apps.
