WCAG 2.1/2.2 Professional Audit

Through Human Examination to Implementation

For individuals with disabilities or impairments, navigating online is a personalized and delicate process, as should the auditing process. Our Web Accessibility Professionals will evaluate and examine the accessibility level of your website's UI, source code, usability, and design. Then they will implement solutions focused on three key areas:

  • Screen reader and assistive technology compatibility
  • Keyboard-only navigation, operation, and orientation
  • Text alternatives for visual or graphical information

The Importance of Full WCAG 2.1 AA Compliance

Why Real-World Accessibility?

While automated accessibility scans are functional and convenient, they only curate about 30% of issues, leaving your website exposed to a lawsuit and your customers with a poor user experience. WCAG 2.1/2.2 Professional Audits provide insight that accessibility software can't, which is essential to ensuring that disabled users can access your website to their fullest extent. Only through professional auditing, page-by-page click-throughs, and testing assistive technology such as screen readers and keyboard-only commands can your website reach full accessibility compliance.
