ACHIEVE WEB ACCESSIBILITY

At Web Audit Solutions, we use a combination of automation and manual accessibility testing methods to perform an accessibility audit and generate a report. We do not rely solely on automation testing as it only catches 30% of accessibility issues.

An accessibility audit is where someone manually goes through your website and looks for accessibility issues under WCAG 2.1 or 2.2. Our typical accessibility audit starts at $500 and there are various factors that will impact the cost like size of the website (the number of page types or templates), follow-up audit, remediation, etc.

The length of a web accessibility audit depends on the size and complexity of the website. A small website may take a few days to audit, while a larger website with more complex functionality may take several weeks.

After a web accessibility audit, the customer will receive a detailed report of findings and recommendations for code snippets (with Remediation services). The customer can then work to implement the recommended changes to improve the accessibility of their website.

When selecting a web accessibility audit service provider, look for a provider with experience in accessibility testing and compliance, knowledge of accessibility guidelines and regulations.

It is not feasible to perform a manual website accessibility audit on an entire website (it is not uncommon for the website to have more than 20,000 pages). Our accessibility audit specialists will collaborate with you to determine the number of page types (page templates) and their impact on accessibility.

Your audit sample should include:

• Your site’s homepage;
• Content pages that are mostly text based;
• Images, video and audio content;
• Interactive tools and transaction, like forms;
• Pages including login functionality, if your website has them;
• PDFs and other document types you have;
• Dynamic content like pop-up windows;
• Navigation pages, including your sitemap and pages with search functionality.

At Web Audit Solutions, accessibility audits are performed by IAAP-certified accessibility specialists. Our subject matter experts have various certifications, such as CPACC, WAS, and others.
