Website accessibility audits
Find the barriers that stop people using your website, and give your team clear priorities for fixing them. A written report explains what to fix first and how.
Technical testing informed by blind founder Aj Ahmed's daily screen-reader use. Manual checks and automated tools examine the pages and tasks agreed with you.
What you get
- A prioritised report. Plain-English findings explain each barrier, who it affects and how your team can address it.
- Step-by-step written guidance. Follow the key findings and recommended fixes, and share them with your team. A call is available on request.
- A retest of fixes. Check the changes covered by the agreed retest scope.
Before work starts, we agree the pages, user journeys, standards and testing environments, together with follow-up and retesting. Your quote sets out what is included.
From our own website audit
What an actionable finding looks like
An audit of our contact page found that red error text was too faint against its white background. The earlier text measured 3.76:1 contrast, below the 4.5:1 requirement. The darker red text in the preview retest measured 8.37:1 in the tested states.
The report extract explains the impact on visitors, the evidence, the recommended correction and what the retest covered.
Read the contact-form audit exampleTesting the tasks people need to complete
Audits assess the agreed scope against WCAG 2.2 and EN 301 549. Testing combines automated checks with screen-reader walkthroughs, keyboard navigation, magnification and low-vision checks, colour contrast, forms and error handling, and document accessibility where included in the scope.
How first-hand screen-reader experience informs our testing
In an earlier test of our own contact form, Aj found that errors were visible on screen but were not announced by JAWS. This is why our manual checks follow what the user hears, where keyboard focus moves and whether they can identify and correct each problem.
Automated checks can spot common code issues, but cannot establish whether someone can complete a task using a screen reader, keyboard or magnification. We test complete journeys, including headings, forms, dynamic updates and error recovery.
Our testing approach and known limitations are published in our accessibility statement.
How it works
Discuss the scope by email, or on a call if you prefer. We typically complete an audit within two to three weeks, depending on scope, then deliver the report and arrange the agreed follow-up. Audits are delivered remotely across the UK, with on-site sessions available by arrangement.
An audit is an expert assessment against the standards; it is not a legal certification or a guarantee of compliance.
Discuss your website and priorities
Tell us your website address and the tasks or pages that matter most. We can agree the scope before preparing your written quote.

Accessibility standards and responsibilities
The European Accessibility Act has applied since June 2025 to businesses providing covered consumer products and services in the EU, subject to exemptions such as microenterprise rules for services. UK public sector bodies must also meet accessibility standards and publish an accessibility statement under the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) Accessibility Regulations 2018. Across Great Britain, service providers and employers have duties to make reasonable adjustments under the Equality Act 2010 (and under the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 in Northern Ireland). An independent audit shows where barriers exist and helps you prioritise what to fix first.
