Accessibility Audit
Accessibility compliance is not just a legal requirement, it is a quality signal and a market opportunity. We conduct thorough WCAG 2.1 AA audits that surface violations, estimate legal risk, and deliver a clear remediation roadmap.
// Key benefits
What makes this service valuable
Automated + manual testing
Automated tools find 30–40% of WCAG violations. Manual testing with keyboard navigation and screen readers finds the rest. We do both, and document every violation with evidence.
Screen reader validation
We test with NVDA (Windows), JAWS (Windows), and VoiceOver (iOS and macOS), the screen readers used by the majority of assistive technology users. What the tools miss, human testing surfaces.
Legal risk assessment
We assess the severity of violations in the context of EU/UK/US accessibility legislation (EAA, WCAG EN 301 549, ADA) and provide a risk-prioritised remediation roadmap.
// Details
Accessibility audit methodology
Our accessibility audit follows WCAG 2.1 Level AA as the standard, tested against all four principles: Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, and Robust. We test across desktop and mobile, Chrome and Safari, and multiple assistive technologies.
Every finding is documented with WCAG success criterion reference, failure description, screenshot or video evidence, and a specific remediation recommendation with code guidance where applicable.
// What this includes
- Automated scanning with axe and Lighthouse
- Manual keyboard-only navigation testing
- NVDA, JAWS, and VoiceOver screen reader testing
- Colour contrast analysis across all text instances
- Focus management and skip navigation testing
- Form and error message accessibility
- PDF and document accessibility review (if applicable)

// In practice
How accessibility audit engagements run
WCAG 2.2 AA audits combine automated scans (axe, Lighthouse) with manual keyboard, screen reader (NVDA/VoiceOver), and zoom-to-200% passes on critical flows. Violations are prioritised by user impact and legal exposure — forms, checkout, auth first. Remediation backlog includes effort estimates and component-level fixes your dev team can sprint against.

A typical website (10–20 pages) takes 5–8 business days for a thorough WCAG 2.1 AA audit. Applications with complex interactions may take longer.

We can produce a Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) or Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR) as part of or following the audit engagement. These are required for US government procurement and enterprise enterprise procurement.
