An accessibility audit that finds what scanners miss
Automated tools catch about a third of accessibility failures. Our accessibility audit adds what they cannot: real screen reader testing with NVDA and VoiceOver, keyboard-only journeys and a cognitive walkthrough, with every issue mapped to WCAG 2.2 and a costed plan to fix it. £449, fixed.
From order to fix plan in three steps
Order online, tell us your key journeys
Book through Stripe checkout, then a short form asks what matters most: checkout, booking, quote form, login. Those journeys get the deepest manual testing.
We test with machines, then with humans
axe-core scans every template, then an engineer works through your site with NVDA, VoiceOver and a keyboard only, plus a cognitive walkthrough of copy, instructions and error handling.
You get a report you can act on
Every issue mapped to its WCAG 2.2 criterion, rated by severity, grouped into a prioritised fix plan with costs. We walk you through it on a 30-minute call.
The four layers of a proper accessibility audit
A PDF full of automated warnings is not an audit. These four passes together are what make the difference between a scan and testing, and between guessing and knowing.
Automated scanning (axe-core)
The industry-standard engine runs across your whole site, catching contrast failures, missing alt text, unlabelled form fields, ARIA misuse and broken heading structure at scale.
Screen reader testing (NVDA and VoiceOver)
An engineer navigates your key journeys the way blind users actually do, on Windows with NVDA and on Apple devices with VoiceOver, noting every point where the experience breaks or misleads.
Keyboard-only testing
No mouse, no trackpad. Can every menu, modal, carousel and checkout step be reached, operated and escaped by keyboard alone, with a visible focus indicator throughout? WCAG 2.2 tightened exactly this area.
Cognitive walkthrough
We review copy, instructions, error messages and form design for people with cognitive differences: is help consistent, is data asked for twice, does authentication rely on memory tests?
A wcag audit report built for decisions, not shelfware
Prioritised, costed, mapped to WCAG 2.2
Every issue mapped, rated and costed
Each finding names the WCAG 2.2 success criterion it fails, shows where it happens with screenshots, explains the impact on real users, and carries a severity rating. Issues are grouped into a fix plan ordered by user impact and legal risk, with a cost against each group, so you can budget the work or hand it straight to a developer. It is also the evidence base for WCAG compliance claims and an accessibility statement.
- Critical and serious issues separated from cosmetic ones, so you fix what matters first
- Written for stakeholders: plain English summary up front, technical detail behind it
- A clean baseline you can measure progress against after remediation

Frequently asked questions
How much does a website accessibility audit cost?
Ours is £449 excluding VAT, fixed, whatever we find. That covers an automated scan of the whole site, manual screen reader and keyboard testing of your key journeys, a written report mapping every issue to WCAG 2.2 criteria, a prioritised and costed fix plan, and a 30-minute results call.
What does an accessibility audit include?
Four kinds of testing: an automated axe-core scan across your pages, manual screen reader testing with NVDA and VoiceOver, keyboard-only testing of every interactive journey, and a cognitive walkthrough checking that instructions, errors and language make sense. Each finding is mapped to a WCAG 2.2 success criterion with a severity rating and a recommended fix.
How long does an accessibility audit take?
Most audits are delivered within five to ten working days of ordering, depending on the size of the site. Ecommerce sites take longer than brochure sites because there are more journeys to test: search, filtering, basket, checkout and account areas all get manual passes.
What is the difference between automated and manual accessibility testing?
Automated tools such as axe-core reliably catch code-level issues: missing alt text, poor contrast, unlabelled fields. Research consistently shows they find only around a third of WCAG failures. Whether a focus order makes sense, an error message is understandable or a screen reader journey is usable requires a human. A real audit needs both.
What happens after the audit?
You get a prioritised fix plan with a cost against each group of issues, so you can budget properly. You can give it to your own developer, or ask us to do the work through our accessibility remediation service. There is no obligation either way: the audit report stands on its own.
Do I need an audit if I already use an accessibility overlay widget?
Yes, arguably more than most. Overlay widgets do not fix the underlying code, and audits of overlay-equipped sites routinely find the same WCAG failures underneath, sometimes with new issues added by the widget itself. An audit tells you what is actually true about your site rather than what a banner claims.
