Most organizations have a sense that accessibility needs attention, but it is not always clear where the issues are or how serious they are.

An accessibility audit provides a clear picture of how your site is performing against WCAG guidelines, along with a practical path forward. The goal is not just to identify problems, but to understand what needs to be addressed first and how to approach it in a way that holds up over time.

We work with universities, government agencies, and other public-serving organizations to assess accessibility across large, content-rich websites and applications. That experience shapes how we approach audits. We focus on clarity, prioritization, and making the results usable for your team.

What an Audit Covers

We review your site against WCAG standards, looking at both technical implementation and real user experience.

This typically includes:

• Automated testing using tools such as Siteimprove, WAVE, Axe, and Pa11y
• Manual testing for keyboard navigation, focus management, and screen reader behavior
• Review of templates, components, and common content patterns
• Identification of issues related to contrast, structure, labeling, and interaction

Automated tools are useful, but they only surface part of the picture. Manual review is essential for understanding how accessible the site actually is in practice.

What You Receive

The output of an audit should be something your team can act on.

We provide:

• A prioritized list of issues, organized by severity
• Clear explanations of each issue and why it matters
• Recommended approaches for remediation
• Examples and references where helpful

For larger sites, findings are often grouped by templates or content types so that fixes can be applied efficiently across many pages.

From Audit to Remediation

An audit is usually the starting point.

In many cases, issues are tied to underlying patterns in templates, components, or content structure. Addressing those patterns can resolve a large number of issues at once.

We can work with your team to plan and implement remediation, whether that involves targeted fixes, broader template updates, or a phased approach over time.

Ongoing Monitoring

Accessibility is not static. As content changes and new features are added, issues can reappear.

We support ongoing monitoring through tools like Siteimprove, along with periodic manual review. This helps teams stay on top of accessibility without needing to restart the process from scratch.

Accessibility in Practice

For public-facing organizations, accessibility is closely tied to how people access services and information.

We have worked on accessibility across large, distributed environments, including university and government systems with many contributors and stakeholders. That experience informs how we structure audits and how we think about long-term sustainability.

Our goal is not just to identify issues, but to help you build a system that supports accessible content going forward.

How long does an accessibility audit take?
It depends on the size and complexity of the site. Smaller sites may take a few weeks, while larger environments are often reviewed in phases.

Do automated tools catch everything?
No. Automated tools are useful for identifying certain types of issues, but they do not capture the full user experience. Manual testing is an important part of a thorough audit.

Can we fix issues without a full redesign?
In many cases, yes. Addressing templates and core components can resolve a large number of issues without rebuilding the entire site.

What standard do you audit against?
We evaluate sites against WCAG guidelines, which are the standard used to assess accessibility for people with disabilities.
