We conduct comprehensive WCAG 2.2 Level AA compliance audits that go beyond automated scanning to include manual testing with real assistive technologies. Our audits document every violation with WCAG success criterion references, severity ratings based on user impact, and detailed remediation guidance with code examples. You receive a prioritised roadmap that balances compliance requirements with development capacity, breaking work into achievable sprints whilst addressing the most critical barriers first. We test with NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver, keyboard-only navigation, and voice control to ensure compatibility across the full spectrum of assistive technologies your users depend on.

Our Accessibility Methodology

Full audits, prioritised fixes, ongoing compliance

Full Audit

Automated scanning with axe-core, Lighthouse, and WAVE combined with manual testing using real screen readers (NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver). We document every WCAG violation with severity ratings and remediation guidance.

Prioritised Remediation

Critical issues first (keyboard traps, missing alt text, contrast failures), then progressive enhancement. We balance compliance requirements with development capacity to deliver measurable improvements quickly.

Keyboard Navigation

Ensure every interactive element is keyboard accessible. Implement skip links, focus indicators, logical tab order, and keyboard shortcuts. Test with real users who rely on keyboard-only navigation.

Screen Reader Optimisation

Proper heading hierarchy, descriptive link text, ARIA labels for dynamic content, live regions for updates. We test with NVDA (Windows), JAWS (Windows), and VoiceOver (macOS/iOS) to ensure compatibility.

Colour & Contrast

Analyse colour combinations for WCAG contrast ratios (4.5:1 for text, 3:1 for UI elements). Redesign palettes where necessary, add visual indicators beyond colour alone, ensure readability in high-contrast modes.

Ongoing Compliance

Integrate automated accessibility testing into your CI/CD pipeline. Establish component library standards, train development teams, implement design system tokens for accessible colour palettes.

Business Impact

Accessibility improvements deliver measurable ROI

Larger Addressable Market

Significant market reach
15% of the global population has some form of disability. Accessible sites reach this audience, opening new revenue streams and demonstrating inclusive brand values.

Improved SEO Rankings

Organic traffic improvement
Semantic HTML, proper heading structure, and descriptive content help search engines understand your site. Accessibility and SEO share many best practices.

Reduced Legal Risk

Compliance protection
WCAG compliance reduces exposure to accessibility lawsuits (ADA, Equality Act). Documented compliance demonstrates due diligence and good-faith effort.

Better Usability for Everyone

User satisfaction improvement
Keyboard navigation, clear focus states, and logical structure benefit all users, not just those with disabilities. Accessible design is good design.
