What is an ADA accessibility audit?

An ADA accessibility audit evaluates a website against WCAG 2.1 guidelines and ADA compliance requirements to identify barriers that prevent people with disabilities from using the site effectively.

Why is website accessibility important?

Website accessibility ensures equal access for all users, reduces legal liability from ADA lawsuits, expands the potential audience, improves SEO, and demonstrates social responsibility and inclusive design practices.

What WCAG conformance levels do you test for?

We test against WCAG 2.1 Level AA, which is the standard most organizations target for compliance. We can also evaluate against Level AAA criteria for organizations seeking the highest accessibility standards.

What does an accessibility audit check?

The audit checks keyboard navigation, screen reader compatibility, color contrast ratios, alt text for images, form labels, heading structure, ARIA attributes, focus management, and multimedia captions.

How do you perform accessibility testing?

Testing combines automated scanning tools like WAVE and axe with manual testing using screen readers, keyboard-only navigation, and expert review to catch issues that automated tools cannot detect.

What is delivered in an accessibility audit report?

The report includes a WCAG compliance scorecard, detailed issue descriptions with screenshots, severity ratings, specific code-level remediation guidance, and a prioritized action plan for fixes.

Can you fix the accessibility issues you find?

Yes. After the audit, our development team can implement all recommended fixes including HTML corrections, ARIA attribute additions, color contrast updates, and structural improvements for full compliance.

FAQ

What is a white label ADA accessibility audit?

A white label ADA accessibility audit is a thorough evaluation of a website against WCAG 2.1 AA standards that we conduct on behalf of your agency. The audit identifies accessibility barriers that prevent people with disabilities from using the website effectively, and it is delivered under your agency’s branding with detailed remediation recommendations.

What accessibility standards do you audit against?

We audit against WCAG 2.1 Level AA, which is the widely accepted standard for web accessibility and the benchmark referenced in most ADA-related web accessibility lawsuits. This standard covers four core principles: perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust. We also note any Level AAA opportunities that could further improve the user experience for people with disabilities.

Why is web accessibility important for agencies to offer?

Web accessibility is both a legal and ethical priority. ADA-related web accessibility lawsuits continue to rise year over year. Offering accessibility audits positions your agency as a proactive partner that helps clients reduce legal risk, reach a wider audience, and demonstrate social responsibility. It is also a strong upsell opportunity that leads to remediation projects.

What does the accessibility audit report include?

Our audit report includes a page-by-page breakdown of accessibility issues, each mapped to the specific WCAG success criterion it violates. Every issue includes a severity rating, a description of how it impacts users with disabilities, a screenshot or code snippet showing the problem, and a specific remediation recommendation. The report also includes an executive summary for client-facing presentations.

Do you use automated tools or manual testing?

We use a combination of both. Automated tools like axe and Lighthouse catch many common issues quickly, but they can only identify about 30 to 40 percent of accessibility problems. Our audits include manual testing with screen readers, keyboard navigation testing, color contrast analysis, and evaluation of dynamic content and interactive elements that automated tools frequently miss.

Can you fix the accessibility issues found during the audit?

Yes, we offer accessibility remediation services to fix the issues identified in our audits. This includes updating HTML structure and ARIA attributes, improving keyboard navigation, adding proper alt text and labels, fixing color contrast issues, and ensuring all interactive elements are accessible. We prioritize fixes by impact and severity to deliver the most value first.

Are accessibility overlay plugins a sufficient solution?

No, accessibility overlay plugins are not a substitute for proper accessibility remediation. While overlays claim to automatically fix accessibility issues, they do not address the underlying code problems and have been criticized by accessibility advocates and disability rights organizations. Several companies using overlays have still faced lawsuits. A proper audit and code-level fixes are the recommended approach.

How often should accessibility audits be conducted?

We recommend conducting accessibility audits at least annually, and after any major website redesign or content overhaul. For websites that are frequently updated with new content or features, quarterly checks help ensure new additions maintain accessibility standards. Ongoing monitoring combined with periodic full audits is the most effective approach to maintaining WCAG compliance.
