Specialist Service
Accessibility (WCAG) Audit & Fix
Make your website usable by everyone: meet legal expectations and improve SEO at the same time.
The Problem
An estimated 1 in 5 people in the UK has a disability that affects how they use a website. If your site fails basic accessibility standards, you're excluding customers, and under the Equality Act 2010, you may be exposed to legal risk.
What I Do
I run a full WCAG 2.1 Level AA audit using both automated tools and manual testing with real screen readers, then fix the issues in priority order, so your site is usable by everyone and your legal exposure is reduced.
What We Can Include
- Full WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance audit
- Written report with issues prioritised by severity
- Critical fixes: contrast, alt text, form labels
- Keyboard navigation and screen-reader testing
- Focus indicator and ARIA landmark fixes
- Re-audit after remediation
- Certificate of remediation for your records
- Automated scan across every significant page
- Manual audit by a human, not just a crawler
- NVDA and VoiceOver screen-reader checks
- Colour-contrast palette review with remedial swatches
- Heading-structure and semantic HTML clean-up
- Skip-to-content and landmark navigation
- Error message and form-validation improvements
- Captions and transcripts for any video
- Reduced-motion preference honoured
- Accessible PDFs and documents review
- Mobile accessibility including zoom and orientation
- Accessibility statement drafted for your site
- Staff training note on maintaining accessibility
- Re-test and sign-off after fixes
How It Works
-
Automated Audit
Automated tools identify the most common issues: colour contrast, missing alt text, unlabelled form fields.
-
Manual Testing
Keyboard navigation and screen reader testing (NVDA/VoiceOver) to catch what automated tools miss.
-
Written Report
Issues prioritised by severity: critical, high, and lower-priority, so you decide how much to fix and when.
-
Remediation
Fixes implemented in priority order, with a re-audit to confirm each issue is resolved.
Common Questions
What is WCAG accessibility?
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines: standards ensuring your website is usable by people with visual, motor, cognitive, or hearing disabilities.
Is accessibility legally required?
Under the Equality Act 2010, public-facing websites must not discriminate against disabled users. Legal risk is real even for small businesses.
What are the most common accessibility failures?
Poor colour contrast, missing image alt text, unlabelled form fields, non-keyboard-navigable menus, and missing focus indicators.
Will fixing accessibility affect my website's design?
Minor visual changes only, adjusted contrast, clearer focus rings. Most fixes are in the code, not the appearance.
Can automated tools check everything?
No, automated tools catch only 30–40% of issues. Manual keyboard and screen reader testing is essential.
Does accessibility help my SEO?
Yes, alt text, semantic HTML, and proper heading structure are shared accessibility and SEO signals.
How long does an audit take?
1–2 days for a small business website. Written report delivered within a week.
Should I fix everything at once?
I prioritise by severity, critical issues first. You decide how much to fix and when based on the report.
Do I get ongoing monitoring?
The audit is a point-in-time assessment. New content can introduce new issues, so I include a maintenance guide.
Can you test with real screen readers?
Yes, I test with NVDA (PC) and VoiceOver (Mac/iOS) as part of the audit.

Investment
