Website accessibility audits

Manual and automated testing against WCAG 2.2 Level AA, a written report you can keep on file, and the fixes, for one website or a portfolio of them.

Published Updated By Remidiy

Short answer: Remidiy audits websites against WCAG 2.2 Level AA, by hand and with tools. You get a written report you can keep on file, then the fixes, made by us or handed to your developers as an exact list. We work with one site or many, for businesses and public bodies anywhere in the United States.

It's for organizations that have been asked about accessibility by a customer, a lawyer or a procurement team, have a deadline under the DOJ or HHS rules, or simply want a site everyone can use.

Automated checkers are a useful first look. Our free website accessibility checker runs Google Lighthouse's tests on your homepage. But tools find only part of the problems people with disabilities run into. Whether a form can be completed with a keyboard, whether a screen reader announces an error, whether alt text actually describes the image: those need a person. An audit is that person, working through your site methodically.

What's included

  • Scope agreed up front. The pages, templates and journeys that matter most, such as home, services, contact, booking, checkout and account pages, plus PDFs and media if you need them.
  • Automated scans across the site. They catch the patterns that repeat on every page: contrast, labels, alt text, headings, page language.
  • Manual testing. Keyboard only, screen readers, 200% zoom and 320-pixel reflow, focus order and visibility, target sizes, forms and error handling, against each WCAG 2.2 A and AA criterion.
  • A written report. Each issue, the WCAG criterion it fails, where it is, who it affects, how severe it is and how to fix it, in order of priority.
  • Fixes and a re-test. We fix what we find on sites we build or manage, or work with your developers, then re-test and update the report.
  • An accessibility statement. A plain statement of the standard you aim for, known gaps and how visitors can report a problem.

Who it's for

  • Businesses open to the public. The DOJ's position is that the ADA covers your website now, and WCAG Level AA is the practical standard. See ADA website compliance.
  • State and local governments and their contractors. WCAG 2.1 Level AA by April 26, 2027 or April 26, 2028, depending on size.
  • Healthcare and human services providers funded by HHS. WCAG 2.1 Level AA under Section 504, by May 2027 or May 2028.
  • Organizations with several sites or locations. One audit approach, one report format and one point of contact across the portfolio.

How it works

  1. Discovery call. What the site does, who uses it, any deadline or complaint, and which pages and journeys matter.
  2. Audit. Automated and manual testing against WCAG 2.2 AA, then the written report.
  3. Fix. The changes, in priority order, by us or your team.
  4. Re-test and keep it up. We confirm the fixes and, on sites we manage, check accessibility again after changes as part of ongoing maintenance.

How pricing works

Audits are a fixed price, quoted after the discovery call and based on the number of sites, templates and journeys in scope. Ongoing management of sites we look after is a tiered monthly subscription, with a service level agreement available. There's no hourly billing.

Common questions

What does a website accessibility audit include?

Automated scans across your pages, then manual testing of what tools can't judge: keyboard-only use, screen readers, zoom and reflow, forms and error messages, and your key journeys such as contact, booking and checkout. You get a written report against WCAG 2.2 Level AA with each issue, where it is, who it affects and how to fix it.

Which standard do you audit against?

WCAG 2.2 Level AA, the current version. Meeting it also meets WCAG 2.1 Level AA, the standard named in the DOJ rule for state and local governments and the HHS Section 504 rule.

Can you fix the problems you find?

Yes. On sites we build or manage, the fixes are part of the work. On other sites we can make the fixes ourselves or hand your developers a prioritised list with the exact changes, then re-test.

Do you audit more than one website?

Yes. We audit and manage multiple sites and locations for the same organization, with one report format and one point of contact across all of them.

Will an audit make us ADA compliant?

An audit tells you where you stand and what to fix; the fixes are what change it. There is no official ADA certificate for websites, but an audit report, a record of fixes and an accessibility statement show the work you've done.
