What is a Website Accessibility Audit?

Is your website offering an inclusive experience for people with disabilities? Are such users finding it difficult to navigate through digital assets?

If you are unsure about these questions and wondering where to start, then a website accessibility audit is a must.

A manual web accessibility audit evaluates how effectively your website and digital assets support users with disabilities. It helps identify accessibility barriers that may impact user experience, compliance, and overall usability.

A thorough website accessibility audit will help you better understand the current WCAG and ADA compliance status and to plan for how far behind you are in the accessibility journey ahead.

By assessing your digital assets such as website, app, software, images, videos, and documents will help you better understand the current state of compliance and how far behind you are in the accessibility journey.

You can provide the pages to be audited or we can identify the web pages for you and categorize them based on their template or layout. This also includes web pages having unique functionalities and widgets.

Step 2: Testing against Accessibility guidelines

Each web page is manually tested against WCAG 2.1 Level AA guidelines unless the governing law of your country is specified.

Accessibility audits help identify and categorize the accessibility issues based on how restrictive they are for users to access your website.

4. How much does an accessibility audit cost?

The price of an audit varies between $100 and $500/page depending on various factors such as number of pages, devices and browsers, operating systems, timeline, audit-only or recommendations.
