Website Accessibility Audit for Compliance & Reach

An accessibility audit checks whether everyone can actually use your site — including people who navigate by keyboard, screen reader, or with low vision. It is the right thing to do, it widens your audience, and it reduces real legal risk.

We audit against the WCAG standard and deliver a clear, prioritized remediation plan, with a quarter of a century of building accessible, standards-compliant sites behind us.

Accessibility Is Reach, Not Just Compliance

A significant share of people live with a disability that affects how they use the web — vision, motor, cognitive, and more. If your site does not work for them, you are not just risking legal trouble; you are turning away real customers every day.

After a quarter of a century, we have come to see accessibility as simply good engineering: build it well, and it works for everyone, including search engines.

The Growing Legal Reality

Accessibility-related complaints and lawsuits have risen sharply, and "we didn’t know" is not a defence. An audit shows you where you stand against recognized standards and what you need to address to reduce your exposure.

It is far cheaper to fix barriers proactively than to respond to a complaint.

  • WCAG conformance assessment at your target level
  • Documentation of barriers and severity
  • Clear remediation steps for each issue
  • A defensible record of good-faith effort

Real Testing, Not Just A Scanner

Automated tools catch only a fraction of accessibility issues. Real conformance requires testing the way disabled users actually browse — navigating with a keyboard, listening with a screen reader, checking focus order and contrast by hand.

That is the testing we do, because a green automated score can still hide a site that is impossible to use.

The SEO And Usability Bonus

Accessible sites tend to be better sites for everyone. Clear structure, proper headings, descriptive links and alt text, and keyboard-friendly navigation also help search engines and improve usability across the board.

Fixing accessibility rarely just fixes accessibility — it lifts quality everywhere.

A Plan You Can Actually Execute

We prioritize findings by severity and effort, so you can address the most important barriers first. And we can implement the fixes ourselves if you would rather have it handled.

You end up with a site that is genuinely usable, not just one that passes a checklist.

Is This Right For You?

This is built for businesses that want to reduce legal risk, reach every potential customer, and do right by their users — especially those serving the public or in regulated sectors.

If you want a site everyone can use, today is the day to start.

Quality Over Quantity — And A 100% Guarantee

We take on fewer clients on purpose so each audit gets genuine senior attention. You are never just a ticket in a queue.

And we stand behind the work: we guarantee your satisfaction, 100%.

Frequently Asked Questions

What standard do you audit against?

We audit against WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines), typically targeting level AA, which is the common benchmark for legal and practical accessibility.

Can automated tools handle accessibility on their own?

No. Automated scanners catch only a portion of issues. True conformance requires manual testing with keyboards and screen readers, which is what we do.

Does accessibility help SEO?

Yes. Many accessibility best practices — clear structure, headings, alt text, descriptive links — also help search engines understand and rank your site.

Can you fix the issues you find?

Yes. You can take the remediation plan to your team or have us implement the fixes for you.
