Accessibility: Audits & Testing

Accessibility Audit (WCAG 2.2)

A rigorous, evidence-backed audit of your web and mobile experiences against WCAG 2.2 - combining assistive-technology testing (screen readers, switch access, voice) with automated scanning to find what tools alone miss. Delivered by a team that includes IAAP-certified professionals.

WCAG 2.2 WCAG 2.1 EN 301 549 Section 508 ADA

Typical timeline

2–3 weeks

Engagement model

Audit · remediation · re-test

How it runs

Scope → test → report → verify

Overview

An accessibility audit is only as good as the testing behind it. We combine automated scanning (axe-core, Lighthouse, WAVE) for breadth with deep manual testing using the assistive technologies your users actually rely on - screen readers, keyboard-only navigation, switch access, voice control and magnification.

Every issue is mapped to a specific WCAG 2.2 success criterion, rated by user impact, and paired with a developer-ready fix that references your own components. You get a conformance verdict you can defend to a regulator, a procurement team, or a user with a screen reader.

Methodology

How the engagement runs

01

Scope & inventory

We map page templates, user journeys and component patterns to define a representative sample.

02

Automated scan

Axe-core, Lighthouse and Wave establish a baseline and surface machine-detectable issues.

FAQ

Frequently asked

How long does an audit take?

A typical mid-size web app audit runs 2–3 weeks from kickoff to report, depending on the number of unique templates and flows.

Do you test native mobile apps?

Yes - iOS and Android apps are tested with VoiceOver and TalkBack against WCAG 2.2 and platform accessibility guidelines.

Is a re-test included?

One verification re-test of remediated issues is included within 60 days of report delivery.
