A WCAG Compliance Audit Followed by Real Fixes

Accessibility, the ADA and WCAG

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) bars discrimination against people with disabilities, and many businesses have faced claims that their websites are not accessible. WCAG, the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, is the technical standard most often used to judge whether a site is accessible. Level AA is the common target.

WCAG 2.2 builds on 2.1 and adds criteria for things like focus visibility, touch target size and sign-in steps. We test against both. We are a website accessibility company, not a law firm. We cannot give legal advice or promise that an audit protects you from a lawsuit. We can show you where your site stands and fix the barriers we find.

What the audit covers

Our ADA website compliance audit combines automated scans with manual testing. Automated tools catch only part of the problems, so most of the work is done by people.

• Automated scan – A full-site crawl to find missing alt text, low contrast, empty links, form label issues and code errors.
• Keyboard testing – We move through menus, forms, modals and checkout using only a keyboard.
• Screen reader testing – We test key journeys with screen readers such as NVDA, JAWS and VoiceOver.
• Visual and mobile checks – Zoom, reflow, color contrast, focus indicators and touch targets on phones.
• Documents and media – PDFs, video captions and audio transcripts on key pages.

From audit to fixes: our ADA website compliance service

The audit report lists each issue with the WCAG criterion it fails, where it appears, who it affects and how to fix it. Issues are ranked so you fix the barriers on your most-used pages first.

Our ADA website compliance service then puts developers on the fixes. Many issues live in shared templates, so one fix can clear hundreds of pages. After fixes, we retest and update the report. If your team does the fixes, we review their work instead.

We do not rely on overlay widgets as a fix. They do not change your underlying code, and many disabled users find them unhelpful.

Ongoing website accessibility service

Sites change every week, and new content can bring new barriers. Our ongoing website accessibility service includes scheduled scans, manual spot checks of new pages and training for your editors on alt text, headings, link text and accessible PDFs.

We can also help you publish an accessibility statement that explains your standard, your progress and how users can report problems. For new builds, we design to WCAG AA from the start through our UI/UX design process, which costs far less than fixing later.

Pricing for WCAG compliance services

Cost depends on the number of unique templates, how complex your forms and checkout are and how many documents need review. A brochure site with a few templates costs less to audit than a store or a web app with logins.
