What is Web Accessibility Audit?

A web accessibility audit is a structured evaluation of how well your website meets international accessibility guidelines. It involves examining your site’s content, structure, and user interface to determine how accessible it is for people with visual, auditory, motor, or cognitive disabilities.

Accessibility audits typically assess conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), which define how to make web content more usable for everyone. The audit also helps evaluate whether you meet legal obligations under laws like AODA (Ontario), ACA (Canada-wide)

Unlike standard QA tests, accessibility audits simulate the real experiences of users who rely on:

  • Screen readers
  • Keyboard-only navigation
  • Voice controls
    Screen magnifiers
  • Switch access devices

A thorough audit highlights issues such as:

  • Missing alternative text for images
  • Poor color contrast
  • Inaccessible forms and navigation menus
  • Improper document structure (e.g., headings, tables)
  • Lack of keyboard focus and labeling

Conducting a web accessibility audit is the foundation for digital inclusivity and risk mitigation.

Our WCAG Audit Process

Get Free Initial Compliance Consultation

Initial Consultation

Our process begins with a focused consultation to understand your organization’s unique digital landscape. We evaluate your current accessibility posture, target user base—including those using assistive technologies—and your compliance goals (e.g., WCAG 2.2 AA, AODA). This discovery session helps us define the scope of the audit and ensures that our testing strategy is aligned with your usability, legal, and operational requirements.

Comprehensive Accessibility Audit

We conduct a rigorous accessibility audit using both manual testing and automated scanning tools to identify WCAG 2.2 conformance gaps. Testing includes:

  • Perceivable: Verifying alternatives like alt text, captions, and screen reader support.
  • Operable: Testing keyboard navigation, forms, and interactive controls.
  • Understandable: Checking content clarity, navigation logic, and error feedback.
  • Robust: Ensuring compatibility across browsers, devices, and assistive technologies.

We test against Level A and AA success criteria using screen readers (like NVDA or JAWS), keyboard-only flows, and contrast tools.

Key Findings and Recommendations

Our findings are presented in a structured WCAG Audit Report that includes:

  • Overall WCAG Compliance Score
  • Detailed Issue List, tagged by severity (critical/moderate/minor)
  • Real-World Examples from your site or app
  • Remediation Recommendations written in plain language for technical and non-technical teams

This report becomes your roadmap for digital accessibility compliance.

Remediation Support

We partner with your developers, content creators, or vendors to close accessibility gaps effectively. Our certified accessibility experts provide:

  • Design Adjustments (e.g., color contrast, focus states, layout updates)
  • Content Remediation (e.g., alt text, table headers, video transcripts)
  • Code-Level Fixes (e.g., semantic HTML, ARIA roles, error handling)

This ensures your digital assets not only pass testing but are also inclusive and usable for real people.

Final Review and Validation

Once fixes are implemented, we conduct a full re-audit. This includes:

  • Verification Testing to confirm each issue has been resolved
  • Manual + Automated Re-Scans to double-check conformance
  • User Testing with Assistive Tech to confirm usability and flow

We then prepare an Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR), and if requested, a VPAT for procurement or public reporting.

Executive Summary

We close with an executive-ready summary designed for leadership and compliance teams. It includes:

  • Compliance Overview: Progress snapshot against WCAG 2.2
  • Major Issues + Fixes: Highlighting critical resolution milestones
  • Long-Term Strategy: Recommendations for maintenance, training, and future audits

This summary helps stakeholders act confidently on audit results and champion accessibility across the organization.
