Structured Accessibility
Audits & Remediation
for Your Website

Q: What is the difference between the free assessment and a full manual audit?

The free assessment is a preliminary scan that catches 30-40% of issues. A full manual audit includes screen reader testing, keyboard navigation review, and structured WCAG 2.1 AA criterion-by-criterion review with a detailed findings report and remediation guidance.

Q: How much does a manual accessibility audit cost?

Manual audits start at $400 for small websites (1-10 pages) and go up to $1,200 for large or complex sites (50+ pages). Each tier includes screen reader testing, keyboard navigation review, and remediation guidance.

Q: Do you guarantee ADA compliance?

No. ADA compliance is a legal determination made by courts and attorneys. We identify technical barriers against WCAG 2.1 AA and provide remediation guidance. We are a technical consulting firm, not a law firm.

Q: Do I need to give you access to my website's code?

No. The free assessment requires only your URL. Full manual audits test your website as a user would — no backend access needed.

Q: What is an Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR)?

An ACR is a formal technical document recording audit scope, methodology, identified barriers, WCAG criterion references, severity ratings, and remediation status. ACRs are included in Professional and Enterprise audit tiers.

WCAG
2.1 AA

Our Primary Standard

What Is WCAG 2.1 AA?

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 — published by the W3C — define the internationally recognized technical standard for web accessibility. Level AA is the benchmark most widely referenced in U.S. accessibility law and regulatory guidance.

WCAG 2.1 AA encompasses 50 success criteria organized around four core principles. Meeting these criteria means your website can be used by people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, motor, and cognitive impairments.

Perceivable

Information and UI components must be presentable in ways users can perceive — including via screen readers and visual contrast.

Operable

All interface components and navigation must be operable via keyboard, without requiring a mouse or time-limited input.

Understandable

Content and UI operation must be understandable — with clear language, consistent navigation, and helpful error identification.

Robust

Content must be robust enough to be interpreted by current and future assistive technologies, including screen readers.

What Our Audit Covers

Our structured audit evaluates your website against WCAG 2.1 AA success criteria using a combination of AI-assisted automated testing and manual expert review. Automated tools typically detect 30–40% of WCAG issues; our hybrid approach captures significantly more.

Keyboard Navigation & Focus Management

We verify every interactive element — menus, forms, modals, carousels — can be reached and operated using only a keyboard. This includes logical focus order, visible focus indicators, and absence of keyboard traps.

Screen Reader Compatibility

Using NVDA, JAWS, and VoiceOver, our specialists test page structure, ARIA landmark roles, live region announcements, and form field associations to ensure content is accurately conveyed to assistive technology users.

WCAG 2.1 — Guidelines 1.3 & 4.1

Color Contrast

We measure contrast ratios for all foreground/background text combinations. WCAG 2.1 AA requires a minimum 4.5:1 ratio for normal text and 3:1 for large text.

WCAG 2.1 — Success Criterion 1.4.3

Text Alternatives for Non-Text Content

Every meaningful image, icon, chart, and infographic is reviewed for descriptive alt text. Decorative images are evaluated for correct null alt attributes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions business owners ask most about ADA web accessibility and our audit process.

Can I get sued for having an inaccessible website?

Yes. ADA web accessibility lawsuits exceeded 4,600 filings in the U.S. in 2023, and the trend continues to rise. Businesses of all sizes have received demand letters citing specific WCAG failures on their websites. While we are not lawyers and cannot provide legal advice, reducing technical accessibility barriers is the most practical step you can take to lower your risk.

What is the difference between the free assessment and a full manual audit?

The free assessment is a preliminary automated scan that identifies your website's accessibility score and the most common WCAG failures. It typically catches 30–40% of real issues. A full manual audit goes much deeper: our specialists test your site with real screen readers (NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver), keyboard-only navigation, and structured WCAG 2.1 AA criterion-by-criterion review. The manual audit includes a detailed findings report, remediation guidance, and a signed Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR).

How much does a manual accessibility audit cost?

Our manual audits start at $400 for small websites (1–10 pages) and go up to $1,200 for large or complex sites (50+ pages). Each tier includes screen reader testing, keyboard navigation review, a detailed findings report with WCAG criterion references, and remediation guidance. View our full pricing.

How long does a full audit take?

A typical audit takes 2–4 weeks depending on the size and complexity of your website. This includes the automated scan phase, manual expert review, remediation guidance documentation, and ACR issuance. We provide a specific timeline estimate before every engagement begins.

Do you guarantee ADA compliance?

No — and you should be wary of any company that does. ADA compliance is a legal determination made by courts and attorneys, not technical consultants. What we do is identify technical barriers against the WCAG 2.1 AA standard and provide documented remediation guidance. Resolving these barriers is the strongest technical step toward reducing your legal risk. We are a technical consulting firm, not a law firm.

Do I need to give you access to my website's code?

No. The free preliminary assessment requires nothing except your website URL. For a full manual audit, we test your website as a user would — no backend access needed. If you choose our remediation support tier where we implement fixes directly, we would need limited code access at that stage, but never for the audit itself.

What is an Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR)?

An ACR is a formal technical document that records the scope of our audit, the methodology used, every accessibility barrier identified, its corresponding WCAG success criterion, severity rating, and remediation status. It serves as documentation that your organization has taken concrete steps to identify and address accessibility barriers. ACRs are included in our Professional ($800) and Enterprise ($1,200) tiers.
