Accessibility audit — UK-focused

Practical WCAG-based audits, prioritised remediation and inclusive design guidance for UK organisations, public bodies and SMEs.

We combine automated scanning, manual testing (keyboard, screen readers) and user-testing simulations to produce a compliance-ready report aligned to UK accessibility expectations.

Typical turnaround: 7–14 business days depending on scope.

What the audit covers

Automated scanning

Site-wide scans for common failures, contrast issues, ARIA misuse and semantic structure.

Manual validation

Keyboard flow, focus order, form labelling, live regions and navigation tested by an expert.

Assistive tech checks

Screen reader walkthroughs (NVDA/VoiceOver), magnifier checks and mobile accessibility spot checks.

Methodology & deliverables

  • Discovery call and scope confirmation
  • Automated scan + manual verification of key user flows
  • Consolidated findings and prioritised remediation plan (A/AA mapping)
  • Developer-ready tickets, code snippets and optional follow-up testing

Reports include severity, estimated effort and suggested fixes to help procurement and technical teams estimate budget.

Common issues we find

Inadequate contrast in CTAs, headings and disabled states. We provide adjusted palettes and CSS variables for safe contrast.

Inputs without explicit labels or aria-labelledby. Focus traps in modal dialogs and inconsistent tab sequence are documented with remediation steps.

"Click here" links and images missing alt text. We supply suggested copy and alternate text recommendations for content teams.
