Accessibility and WCAG Audit Services That Protect Your Business and Include Every User
You need accessibility and WCAG audits that go beyond automated scan results. Whether you are looking for a WCAG audit company to evaluate your website against current standards, need comprehensive web accessibility audit services to reduce legal risk, or want experienced accessibility experts to guide your team through remediation, the goal is always the same: make your product usable by everyone and keep your business protected. We provide end-to-end ADA compliance services that help you audit your website for accessibility using both manual expert testing and automated tools. That includes focused WCAG 2.2 audit for e-commerce websites, SaaS platforms, and corporate sites. Ready for an accessibility audit quote? Tell us what you need checked.
A WCAG accessibility audit typically costs between $2,000 and $15,000 depending on the number of pages, complexity of interactions, and conformance level tested. A focused audit of 10 to 20 key templates starts around $2,000. Full-site audits with remediation guidance cost $8,000 to $15,000.
Core Capabilities and Features
WCAG Conformance Testing
Testing is done against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines published by the W3C. Most audits target WCAG 2.1 AA or WCAG 2.2 AA, which is the conformance level referenced by the ADA, the European Accessibility Act, and most procurement requirements. All 55 success criteria are tested, not just the ones automated tools can check.
- WCAG 2.1 AA and WCAG 2.2 AA conformance testing
- All 55 success criteria evaluated manually
- ADA and European Accessibility Act compliance
Screen Reader and Assistive Technology Testing
Testing is done with real assistive technologies, not simulated ones. NVDA and JAWS on Windows, VoiceOver on macOS and iOS, and TalkBack on Android. Your site is navigated the way a blind or low-vision user would and every barrier encountered is documented.
- NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver, and TalkBack testing
- Keyboard-only navigation evaluation
- Focus indicators, tab order, and skip links checked
Remediation Guidance and Validation
A structured report lists every issue found, its WCAG success criterion, severity level, location, and specific instructions for how to fix it, including code examples. After your team implements the fixes, affected areas are retested to confirm the issues are resolved.
- Prioritised findings with severity levels
- Step-by-step fix instructions with code examples
- Validation retesting after remediation
Why It Matters
If your website is inaccessible, you are not just at legal risk. You are actively excluding customers, losing revenue, and damaging your reputation with everyone who notices. One in four adults in the US has some form of disability. Their friends, family, and colleagues notice too. An inaccessible checkout flow does not just lose one customer. It tells a community of potential customers that your business does not care about them. But here is the part that gets less attention: accessible websites perform better for everyone. Clear heading structures help screen readers and search engines. Keyboard navigation helps power users and people with temporary injuries. Readable text contrast helps everyone reading on a phone in direct sunlight. Sites with strong accessibility have been found to receive roughly 23% more organic traffic than less accessible competitors.

More organic traffic. Sites with strong accessibility practices receive significantly more search traffic, because the same structural improvements that help screen readers also help search engines.

"Accessibility is not a feature you add at the end. It is a quality standard that should be present from the first wireframe. Every design decision, every component, every line of code either includes people or excludes them. There is no neutral."

Our Tech Stack
Our Process
How we turn ideas into reality.
Scoping and Requirements
Which pages, templates, and user flows to test are determined. Conformance level (WCAG 2.1 AA or 2.2 AA), testing environments, and deliverable format are agreed upon.
Automated and Manual Testing
Automated tools catch the issues machines can detect reliably. Then accessibility specialists test every success criterion manually using screen readers, keyboard-only navigation, and visual inspection.
Reporting with Remediation Guidance
A structured report lists every issue found, its WCAG criterion, severity, location, and specific instructions for how to fix it, including code examples where relevant.
Remediation Support and Validation
After your team implements the fixes, affected areas are retested to confirm the issues are resolved. If anything was missed or introduced new problems, it is flagged before you declare conformance.
Pricing
Investment Overview
Number of Unique Templates
A site with 10 unique page layouts costs less to audit than one with 50. Templates are audited, not every individual page, because pages built from the same template share the same issues.
Complexity of Interactions
Simple informational pages are faster to test than complex e-commerce checkouts, multi-step forms, dashboards, or single-page applications with dynamic content.
Remediation Support
An audit report alone costs less than an audit with developer support, fix validation, and ongoing monitoring. Most clients benefit from at least one round of validation testing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about this service.
- How long does a WCAG accessibility audit take?
- A focused audit of 10 to 20 unique page templates typically takes 1 to 3 weeks from kickoff to final report. A full-site audit with complex interactions, mobile testing, and remediation support usually takes 4 to 8 weeks.
- What is the difference between WCAG 2.1 and WCAG 2.2?
- WCAG 2.1 AA includes 50 success criteria and is the standard currently referenced by most legal frameworks. WCAG 2.2 AA adds 9 new criteria focused on areas like dragging movements, consistent help mechanisms, and accessible authentication. Testing against WCAG 2.2 AA is recommended for future-proofing.
- Do automated tools catch all accessibility issues?
- No. Automated tools catch approximately 30% of WCAG conformance failures. They are good at detecting missing alt text, colour contrast ratios, and some structural issues. But they cannot evaluate whether alt text is meaningful, whether a screen reader experience makes sense, or whether custom components are truly operable with a keyboard.
- What is a VPAT and do I need one?
- A VPAT (Voluntary Product Accessibility Template) is a document that describes how your product conforms to accessibility standards. It is typically required when selling to US government agencies, educational institutions, and large enterprises that have procurement accessibility requirements.
- Can you audit mobile apps as well as websites?
- Yes. Native iOS and Android apps are audited as well as responsive mobile websites. Mobile testing uses VoiceOver (iOS), TalkBack (Android), and Switch Control. Touch targets, gesture alternatives, screen reader labels, and mobile-specific WCAG criteria are all evaluated.
- Will fixing accessibility issues break our existing design?
- In most cases, no. The majority of accessibility fixes involve adding missing attributes (alt text, form labels, ARIA roles), adjusting colour contrast, improving heading structure, and ensuring keyboard operability. These changes are largely invisible to sighted users. Good accessibility improves the experience for everyone.
