A web accessibility audit is a comprehensive evaluation of how well a website meets the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). It identifies barriers preventing people with disabilities from using the site effectively, combining automated scanning with manual expert testing, and delivers a prioritized report with specific remediation guidance.

Automated tools catch approximately 30 - 40% of actual WCAG failures: missing alt attributes, contrast failures, invalid HTML. The remaining majority require human judgment: whether alt text is meaningful, whether keyboard navigation flows logically, whether focus management works correctly. Manual testing by accessibility specialists using real screen readers is the only way to find these failures. Our audits combine both layers.

WCAG is the global technical standard for digital accessibility, organized around four principles: Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, and Robust. Level AA is the standard conformance level referenced by ADA, Section 508, EAA, and most other accessibility regulations, representing a practical level of accessibility that covers the needs of most users with disabilities.

WCAG 2.2 introduces new success criteria including enhanced focus indicator requirements (2.4.11 and 2.4.12), accessible authentication (3.3.8), and dragging movements (2.5.7). It is now an ISO-ratified international standard; we audit to WCAG 2.2 by default as it is the current standard referenced by regulators and procurement requirements.

If you are a US-based business open to the public, a government entity, or an organization that receives federal funding, the ADA and related regulations require your website to be accessible. Courts have consistently ruled that websites are covered under ADA Titles II and III. Even organizations not explicitly named in the legislation face litigation risk. The standard legal defense is demonstrating good-faith WCAG conformance efforts.

Timeline depends on the size and complexity of the site. A focused audit of core pages and user paths on a standard website typically takes one to two weeks. Large enterprise sites or complex web applications may take longer depending on scope. We confirm timelines during the scoping process before work begins.

Both. We deliver a detailed findings report regardless of whether you want us to remediate. For teams handling fixes internally, we provide code-level remediation guidance per finding. For organizations that prefer us to fix issues directly, we work independently or alongside your development team and re-test all fixes before marking issues resolved.

We audit and remediate multilingual websites across 200+ languages, ensuring each language version is independently WCAG-compliant. This includes correct HTML lang attributes, translated ARIA labels and alt text, and full RTL language support for Arabic, Hebrew, Urdu, and Farsi.

Yes, meaningfully. Many WCAG requirements align directly with how search engines evaluate content quality: semantic heading structure, descriptive alt text, meaningful link text, logical page structure, and fast-loading accessible content all contribute to search ranking. Fixing accessibility issues frequently improves organic search performance as a secondary benefit.

The EAA requires all companies selling digital products or services in EU member states to meet accessibility standards defined by EN 301 549, which references WCAG for web content. It applies to non-EU companies with EU-facing websites or digital services. If you sell to, operate in, or have customers in any of the 27 EU member states, the EAA applies to your digital presence.

At minimum, whenever significant changes are made: new features, redesigns, or major content updates. For organizations with continuous development cycles, regular scheduled audits are more effective than point-in-time reviews, as new components and third-party integrations continuously introduce new issues.

Yes. We are ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified for information security and operate under strict data handling protocols. We work under NDA and routinely audit sensitive digital environments for government, legal, financial, and healthcare clients globally.
