Accessibility issues don't announce themselves.
They show up as legal notices, failed audits,
and users who quietly leave.

The window to fix this is closing

Accessibility compliance is no longer optional.
Regulations are enforced, legal exposure is real,
and users with disabilities make up a significant share
of any audience.

EAA is now in force

EAA is now in force

The European Accessibility Act took full effect in June 2025. Businesses selling digital products or services in the EU are required to meet accessibility standards — or face regulatory consequences.

ADA litigation is rising

ADA litigation is rising

In the US, accessibility-related lawsuits have grown steadily for years. Without documented compliance efforts, companies have limited ground to stand on when challenged.

You're losing users you can't see

You're losing users you can't see

Around 1 in 4 adults lives with some form of disability. If your site isn't accessible, a meaningful portion of your audience hits a wall — and leaves without saying why.

Accessibility affects SEO too

Accessibility affects SEO too

Screen reader–friendly markup, proper heading structure, and descriptive alt text overlap directly with what search engines reward. Fixing one helps the other.

What the audit
covers

A thorough accessibility audit goes beyond automated tools. We combine testing with manual review across the areas that matter most.

icon

Keyboard navigation

Every link, form, and menu tested for full keyboard use and logical focus order.

icon

Screen reader compatibility

Tested with real assistive tech to catch what automated tools consistently miss.

icon

Color & contrast

Text, UI elements, and images — contrast ratios checked across all interactive states.

icon

Forms & error handling

Field labels, error messages, and validation flows reviewed for assistive tech compatibility.

icon

Semantic structure

Heading hierarchy and ARIA usage audited so the page structure is clear to both browsers and assistive tools.

icon

Media & alternative content

Alt text, captions, and transcripts checked across images and video.

How an audit works

01 — Define the scope

icon

Before anything starts, we agree on what's being tested: which pages, user flows, and compliance level — typically WCAG 2.1 AA. This keeps the audit focused and the results actionable.

02 — Automated scan

icon

We run the site through industry-standard tools to surface common violations quickly. Useful as a baseline, but automated tools catch maybe 30% of real issues.

03 — Manual testing

icon

The bulk of the work. We test with screen readers, keyboard-only navigation, and zoom scenarios. This is where the gaps automated tools miss actually show up.

04 — Report & roadmap

icon

You get a structured report: issues ranked by severity, mapped to WCAG criteria, with clear remediation notes. Not just a list of problems — a plan for fixing them.

Questions clients ask
before they start

What's the difference between an automated scan and a full audit?
Automated tools flag maybe 30% of actual accessibility issues — the structural, obvious ones. A full audit adds manual testing with screen readers, keyboard navigation, and real user scenarios. That's where most of the meaningful problems surface.
Which compliance standard do you audit against?
Most clients need WCAG 2.1 Level AA — it's the baseline for both ADA compliance in the US and the European Accessibility Act. We can also work against WCAG 2.2 or Section 508 if your context requires it.
How long does an audit take?
For a typical business site, two to three weeks. Larger platforms with complex user flows take longer. We'll give you a realistic estimate after the scoping call.
Do you fix the issues or just report them?
The audit delivers a prioritized report with remediation guidance. If you need the fixes implemented, we can scope that as a separate engagement — same team, no handoff overhead.
Our site was built by another team. Does that matter?
Not really. We audit the live site regardless of who built it. If remediation work follows, we'll assess the codebase then — but the audit itself doesn't depend on it.

    E-commerce Personalized Search Examples Make Personalization Easier to Judge #AI & ML
    Personalized search is easy to like in theory. Better results, smarter product discovery, more relevant buying journeys—all sound great. Also slightly abstract, until you see what can happen when a real shopper types a real query, and the store uses the context already sitting in front of it. Theory still matters. That is why we […]

    E-commerce Personalized Search Makes Every Query Work Closer to Purchase #AI & ML
    A shopper lands on an e-commerce site with a clear idea in mind, clicks the search icon, that tiny symbol of promised convenience, and types something simple: “black dining table.” There is a small hope behind that query. Maybe the store will understand the style, price range, previous browsing, and the fact that they have […]
