A lot of e-sig sites just overlay signature fields on top of images of the
document, which is not accessible. If the document is converted to real
html text, with headings and other semantic info added, and real form
elements, then it should be accessible. If you're asking hypothetically if
e-sig sites can be accessible, then yes.

I'm not familiar with esignlive but their blog says their site is AA
compliant -

- provided you have a tagged PDF and do some other work.
