Accessibility audit

You find out where your website shuts people out, how much each finding weighs and what to do about it. As a report your team can work through directly.

How an accessibility audit runs

  1. Agreement. We settle which pages get tested. A good selection covers every building block: the home page, a content page, a form, the ordering or sign-up path.
  2. Testing. Every selected page is tested by hand. Automated tools run alongside, but they only contribute a part.
  3. Report. Every finding with a screenshot, the WCAG criterion violated, a severity rating and a concrete suggestion for fixing it.
  4. Walkthrough. We go through the report together, so the priorities are clear and no questions are left open.
  5. Retest. On request I take another look once the work is done.

What you end up with

  • A report as a PDF, sorted by severity
  • For every finding: the place affected, the criterion violated, a proposed fix
  • An assessment of what should come first
  • On request, the basis for your own accessibility statement

Scope and duration

An accessibility audit covering eight to twelve pages usually takes one to two weeks up to the finished report. How many pages make sense depends on how many different building blocks your website has – twenty product pages built the same way do not need twenty tests.

To put together a fitting offer, it helps me to know: roughly how many pages, which system is in use, and whether there is a deadline.

Who does the testing

I am a certified web accessibility expert (External link, opens in a new window) and test against the WCAG in their current version. More on that under About me.
