Website Accessibility (WCAG)
We audit your website against WCAG 2.2 AA with automated tools and manual testing, then fix the barriers that stop people using keyboards, screen readers, or magnification.
Where this fits in the funnel
Usable by more people
Visitors with visual, motor, hearing, or cognitive impairments can read content, complete forms, and buy without hitting dead ends.
Clear, prioritized fix list
You know exactly which issues exist, which WCAG criteria they relate to, how severe they are, and what order to fix them in.
Accessibility that lasts
Accessible components, editor guidelines, and periodic re-testing stop new barriers creeping in as content and features are added.
What Website Accessibility (WCAG) involves
An accessible website works for people who navigate by keyboard, use a screen reader, zoom the page, or cannot distinguish certain colors. Common barriers are easy to miss if you do not rely on these tools: images without alt text, low-contrast buttons, forms without labels, menus that trap keyboard focus, and videos without captions. Fixing them makes the site easier for everyone, including people on small screens or slow connections.
We test against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, version 2.2, at level AA, which is the standard most laws and procurement policies refer to. Automated scanners catch only part of the problem, so we also test by hand with keyboards and screen readers. We do not sell overlay widgets, because they do not repair the underlying code. We also do not offer legal advice or guarantee legal compliance. We find real barriers and fix them.
Deliverables you can point to
WCAG 2.2 AA audit
A page-by-page review of representative templates and key user flows against the level A and AA success criteria, documented with evidence.
Automated scanning
Site-wide scans with tools such as axe and WAVE to catch detectable issues at scale, including missing alt text, contrast failures, and ARIA errors.
Manual keyboard testing
Tab-through checks of every interactive element for focus order, visible focus indicators, skip links, keyboard traps, and operable menus and modals.
Screen reader testing
Testing with NVDA, JAWS, or VoiceOver to confirm headings, landmarks, labels, link text, tables, and live updates are announced meaningfully.
Prioritized issue report
Each issue logged with location, affected users, the related success criterion, severity, and a specific code or content recommendation.
Code and design remediation
Fixes to markup, ARIA, color contrast, focus styles, form labels, error messages, and component behavior, applied on staging and re-tested.
Media and document fixes
Captions and transcripts for video and audio, alt text for meaningful images, and practical guidance on producing tagged, readable PDFs.
Accessibility statement and training
A plain statement describing the standard targeted, known limitations, and a contact route, plus a short guide for content editors.
How the work runs
Scope the audit
We agree which templates, flows, and documents are in scope, such as navigation, forms, checkout, and account areas, and send a custom proposal for audit and remediation.
Scan and test
We run automated scans across the site, then manually test the scoped pages with keyboard, screen readers, zoom, and reflow at small widths, recording each barrier found.
Report and prioritize
We deliver the issue report and walk your team through it. Blocking issues on key tasks come first, followed by serious and then minor issues.
Fix and re-test
We remediate code, design, and content on staging, or support your developers doing it. Every fix is re-tested with the same tools and methods that found it.
Maintain and monitor
We publish the accessibility statement, train editors on headings, alt text, and links, and schedule periodic re-tests so new pages and features stay accessible.

Website Accessibility (WCAG) FAQ
Will this make my website legally compliant?
We cannot promise that, and no agency honestly can. Accessibility laws differ by country and sector, and only a lawyer can advise on your obligations. What we do is test against WCAG 2.2 AA, the technical standard most regulations reference, fix the barriers we find, and document the work. That gives you a more usable site and a clear record of the steps you have taken.
Do accessibility overlay widgets work?
Not as a fix. Overlays add a toolbar or script on top of the site but leave the underlying code unchanged, so many barriers remain for screen reader and keyboard users. Some users find they interfere with their own assistive technology. We fix issues at the source, in the HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and content, which is what WCAG conformance actually requires.
What is WCAG 2.2 AA?
WCAG is the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines published by the W3C. Version 2.2 is the current recommendation, and it has three conformance levels: A, AA, and AAA. Level AA is the target most organizations and regulations adopt. It covers areas such as text alternatives, color contrast, keyboard access, focus visibility, target size, form errors, and consistent navigation.
How much does an accessibility audit cost?
Pricing starts at $2,500 per audit. Pricing is scoped per project via a custom proposal. The main factors are the number of unique templates and user flows, whether documents and media are included, and whether you want us to carry out the fixes or guide your developers. Auditing a representative sample of templates is usually more efficient than testing every page individually.
Can automated tools find every issue?
No. Automated scanners are useful for catching detectable problems across many pages, but they cannot judge whether alt text is meaningful, whether focus order makes sense, or whether a screen reader user can complete a checkout. That is why manual testing with a keyboard and screen readers is a core part of every audit we run.
