Accessibility Audit Services

An accessibility audit is a manual evaluation of your website, app, or digital product against WCAG 2.2 AA and applicable laws (ADA, Section 508, Title II). It identifies barriers that prevent people with disabilities from using your digital content. This means that real people evaluate the website for conformance using assistive technologies like screen readers (JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack) and methods of access used by people with disabilities to uncover the varance to the guidelines and regulations.

Full WCAG 2.2 AA Evaluation

Pages, templates, components, interactions, forms, media, documents, and dynamic content.

Assistive Technology Testing

Screen readers (NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver), keyboard-only navigation, magnification, color contrast tools.

Design System & Component Review

If you use a design system or component library, we can audit the underlying patterns.

PDF & Document Accessibility (Optional)

We can audit and remediate PDFs, Word docs, and other digital documents.

VPAT / ACR (Optional)

We can produce a highly-regarded ACR in the VPAT format based on your audit findings.

Remediation Roadmap

A prioritized plan that helps your team fix issues efficiently.

• WCAG 2.2 AA
• WCAG 2.1 AA
• ADA Title II & III,
• Section 508
• HHS
• EAA
• EN-301549

Pricing depends on scope, number of pages, complexity, platforms, and whether you need a VPAT/ACR. Most audits fall between $10,000–$40,000 depending on size and requirements.

Most audits take 2–6 weeks, depending on scope and complexity.

A full WCAG 2.2 AA (or relevant guidelines) report, issue-level findings, remediation guidance, code references, prioritization metrics, compliance mapping, and optional VPAT/ACR.

Reporting issues creates understanding and benchmarks the accessibility of the website or application. However, effective remediation and prioritization advice are what make the reporting actionable and functional. Each issue reported has:

• Issue severity
• User Affected
• Remediation effort
• Detailed remediation advice
• Mapping the WCAG levels

Yes. We can produce a VPAT or ACR based on your audit findings.

Yes. We offer remediation support, validation, and an ongoing accessibility help desk. We can provide a help desk that supports your remediation efforts, perform the remediation, or fractionally embed an Accessibility Subject Matter Expert into your team.

Yes — mobile apps, PDFs, documents, and integrated third-party tools can be included.

Yes. We specialize in design system accessibility.

We work with you to identify the correct pages, templates, flows, and components to ensure accurate coverage. We use the WCAG-EM to inform our scoping to ensure you get a proper scope and well regarded ARCs in the VPAT format.

It is not possible, efficient, or cost-effective to manually audit every page of a website or application; therefore, once the target of the audit is identified, a careful representative sample of screens is chosen. The sample considers the critical user flows and the tools, techniques, and content types used on the website or application.

Effective Scoping follows the first 3 steps of the WCAG-EM.

1. Define the scope of the evaluation – defining what is included in the evaluation; the goal of the evaluation; and the WCAG conformance level (A, AA, AAA).
2. Explore the website – identifying key web pages; key functionality; types of web content, designs, functionality, etc.; required web technologies.
3. Select a representative sample – guidance on structured and randomly selected web pages when it is not feasible to evaluate every web page on a website.

A note on step 1: Define the scope of the evaluation: This is an important strategic step. Much of the time, the scope of the evaluation should represent the entire webpage or application; however, there are many cases where this is not possible or

Technical conformance audits uncover areas that don’t meet the guideline (ie. The WCAG 2.2 level AA guidelines). Evaluators must be experts in both the guidelines and assistive technologies used by people with disabilities. People with disabilities are important for polished usability advice.

Evaluations are performed with a mix of automated tools and manual inspection. Moreover, the automated tool results need to be validated through manual inspection. Manual inspection is further used to find issues that automation cannot detect. Assistive technologies and methods of inspections include:

Screen readers and other assistive technology:

• JAWS (Windows)
• NVDA (Windows)
• VoiceOver (iOS)
• TalkBack (Android)
• Zooming Technology
• Keyboard only access
• Accessing without sound

There is a direct correlation between successful remediation and utilizing support options. Expert technical consulting is made available through your organization’s preferred communication system. This allows easy access to our experts during remediation.

Strategic consultants work with your teams to prioritize the remediation and identify and prioritize the process areas in the organization contributing the most to accessibility issues. See the Remedation Support page for details
