Website accessibility audit

We audit websites against WCAG 2.2 level AA, testing by hand with keyboards and screen readers as well as automated tools. You get a prioritised list of what blocks people, and if you want, the same team fixes it and retests.

The audit

Automated checkers catch only some accessibility problems. We run them, then test the site by hand: with a keyboard only, with a screen reader, zoomed to 200%, and against each WCAG 2.2 AA success criterion on your key pages and journeys.

What's included

  • Automated scan across the whole site
  • Manual keyboard & screen reader testing
  • Key journeys: sign-up, checkout, contact forms
  • Checked against WCAG 2.2 level AA
02

A report your developers can use

Every issue comes with where it is, which WCAG criterion it fails, who it affects and how to fix it, ordered so the problems that block people come first. Your team gets a list it can work through in order.

What's included

  • Issues mapped to WCAG criteria
  • Ordered by impact on real users
  • Fix guidance with code examples
  • A walkthrough call with your team
03

Fixes & retest

If you want us to fix the issues, the same team that audited the site does the work, then retests it. We can also draft the accessibility statement the EAA expects you to publish.

What's included

  • Fixes to templates, components & content
  • Retest of every fixed issue
  • Accessibility statement draft

The European Accessibility Act

The European Accessibility Act has applied since 28 June 2025. It covers many products and services sold to consumers in the EU, including online shops, banking services and e-books, wherever the business is based. Microenterprises providing services, with fewer than 10 staff and turnover or balance sheet of €2 million or less, are exempt.

In practice, conformance with WCAG 2.1 level AA is the benchmark the EU standard EN 301 549 points to, and auditing against WCAG 2.2 AA covers it. Whether the Act applies to your business is a legal question, so check with your own adviser; we can tell you how your site measures up.

Common questions

Is an automated accessibility checker enough?
No. Automated tools miss problems that need judgment, such as whether alt text makes sense, whether a form can be completed with a keyboard, or whether a screen reader announces changes. An audit needs manual testing to find those.
How much does an accessibility audit cost?
It depends on how many page types and user journeys need testing, since most sites reuse a handful of templates. Tell us about your site and we'll reply within one business day with a fixed price.
Will an accessibility overlay make my site compliant?
Overlays and widgets do not fix the underlying code, and they can get in the way of the assistive technology disabled visitors already use. Fixing the site itself is the reliable route.
Do you give legal advice?
No. We test and fix websites against WCAG. Whether a law such as the EAA or the ADA applies to your business is a question for a legal adviser, and our report gives them the facts they need.
