Accessibility audits that protect your business and include everyone.

We combine baseline automated scanning with rigorous manual testing to uncover the invisible barriers on your site. Then, we hand your team a clear, actionable roadmap to fix them.

Understanding Accessibility

What is a website accessibility audit?

An audit is a deep dive into your website’s code and user experience, evaluated against strict WCAG 2.2 standards. It highlights exactly what is stopping people with visual, auditory, motor, or cognitive disabilities from using your site—and gives your development team the exact clarity they need to resolve those barriers.

“An audit doesn’t just check boxes. It answers the question: can every person, regardless of ability, actually use this website?”

— WebForAccess, Certified WCAG Auditors

What an audit examines

Visual

Color contrast, text readability, and visual dependencies.

Keyboard & motor

Tab order, focus states, and skip links (no mouse required).

Screen readers

ARIA attributes, semantic landmarks, and proper form labels.

Content

PDFs, captions, plain language

Mobile

Touch target sizing, zoom reflow, and alt text accuracy.

Any site serving the public

Legal protection & wider reach

Common misconceptions

How It Works

Our three-phase audit process

We follow a rigorous, repeatable methodology so nothing gets missed, and every finding we deliver is actionable.

Step 01

Automated Scanning

We use industry leading tools (Wave, Lighthouse, PowerMapper) to instantly surface structural and markup violations.

Step 02

Deep Manual Testing

Automated scanners miss ~70% of issues. Our experts use actual assistive technologies to find hidden barriers.

Step 03

Remediation Guidance & Support

We pinpoint exact issues and guide your developers with the specific logic needed to resolve them natively.

Why manual testing matters

Automated tools catch only ~30% of issues.

Scanners like Lighthouse and WAVE are a useful starting point but they miss the majority of real-world barriers. Dynamic content, custom widgets, focus order, and screen reader compatibility all require human review by certified experts.

~30%
detectable by automated tools alone

Screen readers

NVDA, JAWS, and VoiceOver tested across Windows, macOS, and iOS.

Keyboard navigation

Full tab-order, skip-link, and focus-trap testing without a mouse.

Mobile & touch

Touch target sizing, gesture navigation, and zoom reflow on real devices.

Cognitive load review

Plain language checks, error handling clarity, and reading level analysis.
