About the Audit
What does an accessibility audit actually look for?
Our standard protocol validates your website’s source code and interactive elements against all Level A and Level AA success criteria. We look for systemic programmatic errors, keyboard focus navigation breaks, missing alternative text, unlabeled form fields, and hidden elements that disrupt assistive tech software.
Why isn’t a free automated browser scan or widget enough?
Free automated browser tools can only flag 30% to 40% of digital accessibility errors. Software scanners cannot test keyboard functionality, evaluate whether a promotional graphic contains hidden text, or interpret the auditory UX of a screen reader. A clean automated grade simply means machine-visible bugs are cleared—it does not mean your site is usable or legally conformant.
How many pages do you test? (Explaining our Scoping Model)
We evaluate your site by Unique Page Templates (such as your Homepage, standard text view, or main contact flow) rather than raw page count. Because digital barriers are almost always systemic, an error in a layout blueprint automatically replicates across every page using that layout. Isolate the template, and you uncover 100% of the risk without paying an agency to test duplicate content pages.
Do you install an overlay toolbar or "widget" to achieve compliance?
Absolutely not. Automated overlay toolbars and quick-fix widgets do not clean up your underlying source code and fail to satisfy legal requirements. In fact, they frequently create additional barriers for native screen reader users. We specialize exclusively in code-level diagnostics and manual reviews that fix issues at their source.
How long does a technical review take to complete?
Because our internal five-layer automated and manual pipeline is highly optimized, our standard technical reviews are completed within 3 to 5 business days once intake metrics are finalized.
