Website Accessibility Audits

No two websites, budgets, or oganisations are the same, and neither are their accessibility challenges. Whether you’re looking for a straightforward WCAG 2.2 compliance check, a comprehensive audit ahead of a public sector deadline, or ongoing accessibility support as your site grows, our audit services are structured to meet you where you are.

Our team brings specialist expertise and genuine advocacy for inclusive design to every review we undertake — which means we approach every audit not just as a compliance exercise, but as an opportunity to make your website work better for every one of your users. From initial assessment through to remediation guidance and follow-up support, we provide the clarity, expertise, and practical direction you need to build a more accessible, legally compliant digital presence.

We offer a range of audit options designed to suit different organisations and budgets — from focused reviews of key pages and user journeys, to full site-wide audits with detailed remediation plans and ongoing consultancy support. Whatever your starting point or resources, there is an accessible route to a more inclusive website.

Not sure where to start with accessibility? Our entry-level review examines up to three key pages on your website, giving you a clear, honest picture of the most common issues and the quickest wins available to you — with no obligation to take things further.

• An overview of your site’s performance against WCAG 2.2 criteria

A meaningful accessibility audit can’t rely on automated tools alone. Research consistently shows that automated scanning, however sophisticated, detects only a proportion of the accessibility barriers that real users encounter. Our audit methodology combines the efficiency and consistency of industry-leading automated testing tools with the nuanced judgement that only expert manual evaluation can provide — giving you a complete, accurate picture of your website’s accessibility performance against WCAG 2.2 criteria.

We begin every audit with a thorough automated scan of your website, using a carefully selected combination of industry-standard accessibility testing tools. Automated testing allows us to rapidly identify a broad range of technical issues — including missing alternative text, insufficient colour contrast, incorrect heading structures, unlabelled form fields, and missing ARIA attributes — across large numbers of pages quickly and consistently.

The automated tools we use include:

• Axe — a leading accessibility testing engine used by developers and auditors worldwide, Axe identifies WCAG violations with a very low rate of false positives, making it a reliable foundation for any accessibility audit. We use Axe both as a browser extension and integrated into our testing workflow for repeatable, structured results.
• WAVE (Web Accessibility Evaluation Tool) — developed by WebAIM, WAVE provides detailed visual feedback on accessibility errors, alerts, and structural information directly overlaid on your web pages. It is particularly effective at surfacing issues with page structure, form labelling, and contrast that benefit from visual inspection alongside technical reporting.
• ARC Toolkit — a professional-grade accessibility testing tool developed by TPGi, ARC Toolkit provides granular analysis of WCAG 2.2 success criteria and is especially powerful for evaluating complex interactive components, dynamic content, and single-page applications. Its detailed rule-based reporting makes it an invaluable tool for mapping findings directly to specific WCAG criteria.
• SiteImprove — a comprehensive digital accessibility and quality assurance platform, SiteImprove allows us to monitor accessibility across your entire site at scale, tracking issues over time and providing prioritised, actionable insights. For larger websites and public sector organisations, SiteImprove is particularly valuable for ongoing accessibility monitoring and demonstrating progress towards compliance.

Alongside these established platforms, we also use proprietary in-house testing tools developed specifically to complement our audit workflow. These allow us to carry out additional checks, cross-reference findings across multiple tools, and identify issues that no single automated solution consistently captures — ensuring our automated phase is as thorough and accurate as possible before manual evaluation begins.

Automated tools are the starting point, not the finish line. The second and most critical phase of our audit process is detailed manual evaluation, carried out by an experienced accessibility specialist working systematically through your website against the full range of applicable WCAG 2.2 success criteria.

Our manual testing includes:

• Keyboard-only navigation testing — evaluating every page, interaction, and user journey using a keyboard alone, ensuring that users who cannot operate a mouse can access all content and functionality without barriers or focus traps
• Screen reader testing — assessing your website using leading screen reader software including NVDA, JAWS, and VoiceOver, to evaluate how content is interpreted and announced to users with visual impairments
• Zoom and reflow testing — checking that content remains readable and functional at 200%, 300%, and 400% zoom levels, and that pages reflow correctly on small screens and at high magnification without loss of content or functionality
• Cognitive and readability assessment — reviewing content for clarity, plain language, consistent navigation, and the absence of content that could cause difficulty for users with cognitive impairments or attention-related conditions
• Colour contrast verification — manually verifying contrast ratios for text, interface components, and graphical elements against WCAG 2.2 minimum and enhanced contrast thresholds
• Form and error handling evaluation — testing all forms, interactive components, and error messages for correct labelling, clear instructions, and accessible error identification and recovery
• PDF and document accessibility — reviewing uploaded documents for correct tagging, reading order, alternative text, and compatibility with assistive technologies
• Video and multimedia review — checking for the presence and accuracy of captions, audio descriptions, and transcripts where required

Every finding from both automated and manual testing phases is compiled into a structured audit report, with each issue mapped to the relevant WCAG 2.2 success criterion and rated by severity — Critical, Serious, Moderate, or Minor — based on its impact on real users. The report includes clear, practical remediation guidance for each issue, written to be understood by both developers and non-technical stakeholders.

Where appropriate, we also provide a prioritised remediation action plan that sequences fixes logically — addressing the most impactful barriers first and grouping related issues to make implementation as efficient as possible for your development team.
