Accessibility audits that protect your business and include everyone.

We combine automated scanning with expert manual testing to find every barrier on your site — then hand you a remediation roadmap that stands up to legal scrutiny.

Understanding Accessibility

What is a website accessibility audit?

A website accessibility audit is a systematic evaluation of your site against WCAG 2.2 standards. It identifies every barrier preventing people with visual, auditory, motor, or cognitive disabilities from using your website — and tells your team exactly how to fix each one.

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

How It Works

Our three-phase audit process

Every engagement follows a rigorous, repeatable methodology — so nothing gets missed and every finding 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 ~60% of issues. Our certified testers use real 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.
