Accessibility audit

Accessibility isn’t just a legal requirement, it’s good business. 

Our audit helps you identify accessibility gaps, improve usability for all users, and ensure that your website or digital service complies with EU and WCAG 2.2 requirements. We combine design, development, and regulatory expertise to deliver practical, prioritised actions that make accessibility a competitive advantage.

What we audit

We conduct a full accessibility assessment across design, content, and technical layers to identify gaps and opportunities for improvement.

Our audit covers:

  • Conformance with WCAG 2.2 and AA standards
  • Accessibility of structure, navigation, and content
  • Compatibility with assistive technologies such as screen readers and keyboard navigation
  • Colour contrast, font size, and readability analysis
  • Form and input validation for user interactions
  • Multimedia accessibility, including captions, transcripts, and alt text
  • Accessibility of downloadable materials such as PDFs and documents

We deliver a clear, actionable report that prioritises fixes based on impact, effort, and compliance level.

Our accessibility audit process

Accessibility improvement should be practical and achievable. Our approach focuses on clarity, transparency, and measurable progress.

01

Research

We go through the technical accessibility of the web service with semi-automatic evaluation tools and perform a manual review, testing different use cases (e.g. keyboard use, screen reader, use without colors).

02

Reporting

We will compile a PDF-report on the current state of the online service, which includes a full list of WCAG 2.2 A and AA criteria and a breakdown of the areas where deficiencies were found.

03

Actions

We highlight the development items pinpointed in the audit and provide a clear action plan to correct the shortcomings in a developer-friendly way.

04

Debriefing

We will present the results of the audit to you and answer any questions that your design / technical teams might have. The offer includes a one-hour debriefing event as a remote meeting.

05

Accessi­bility statement

Based on the results of the audit, we prepare an accessibility statement in accordance with the Digital Services Act. The statement describes the accessibility status of the website and any possible deviations.
06

Technical implemen­tation

Optional extra service

Should you require assistance with technical implementation, we’re happy to assist with UI development. Our software developers are skilled with modern frontend technologies such as React, Vue and Next.js as well as more traditional styling languages like HTML and CSS.

07

Follow-up review

Optional extra service

After you’ve had a chance to tackle the issues discovered in the audit, we can check again whether the requirements have been met correctly. At the same time, we can update the statement accordingly.

What we deliver

  • Comprehensive accessibility audit report 
  • List of non-compliant items and prioritised recommendations 
  • Guidance for developers, designers, and content teams 
  • Certification of compliance alignment with EU standards 
  • Optional follow-up audit and continuous support
