Accessibility testing
WCAG audits and testing
Conduct accessibility audits and testing to meet the needs of disabled users, build inclusive digital experiences and comply with WCAG standards.
Build inclusive digital experiences
Accessibility audits evaluate how accessible a website, mobile app, or digital service is, based on the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2.
Where testing identifies accessibility issues, this can be used to create a road map for remediation and improvement. Ultimately, the goal is to remove barriers that prevent disabled users accessing digital services and create inclusive digital experiences.

Meet accessibility regulations
While an accessibility audit is not a legal requirement, there are laws that govern accessibility standards for the UK public sector and private companies operating in the EU. WCAG audits and accessibility testing reduce the legal risks associated with non-compliance.
We provide support helping you understand the requirements of compliance with regulations including the Equality Act 2010, the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018, Section 508 and the European Accessibility Act.

Our approach to accessibility testing
Our accessibility audits go beyond identifying issues; we'll show you how they impact users, help you prioritise fixes and provide practical recommendations on how accessibility can be improved.
We manually review templates, components, and content against the WCAG success criteria. Our manual testing is supplemented by automated scanning to increase speed and coverage and complemented by testing user journeys on assistive technologies.
Issues will be logged in your preferred issue tracker; you'll receive a comprehensive report that summarises the results and actionable recommendations in plain language.
Throughout the process, we're on hand to discuss findings and provide support to development teams. We also recommend retesting after fixes have been implemented to ensure your accessibility goals have been met.
A compliant accessibility statement is included in the cost of an accessibility audit. We offer accreditation for applications and services meeting AA or AAA standards.
