Prospective clients often request a sample audit report so they can get a feel the deliverable they’ll be receiving. And even if we haven’t talked on a call, we want you to be able to access our accessibility audit report.
Our reports come in Excel spreadsheet format and, if you’d like us to upload the report to Google Sheets, we can also make our audits available online. Here’s what you can expect:
Accessible.org Website Accessibility Audit Template
Primary Worksheet
Here are the 11 columns of information in the primary worksheet in the report:
- Issue No. – Sequential identifier for each accessibility issue
- Location – Specific area on the page where the issue occurs
- Page URL – Web address where the issue was found
- Environment – Testing platform, browser, and screen reader combination
- Issue – Detailed description of the accessibility problem
- Applicable Code – HTML code snippet that contains the accessibility issue
- WCAG – Specific success criterion not met (e.g., “2.4.1 Bypass Blocks (Level A)”)
- Users Affected – Types of users impacted (e.g., blind, cognitive, mobility)
- Recommendation – Suggested fix for the accessibility issue
- Screenshot – Reference to visual evidence of the issue
- Notes – Additional observations or information about the issue
These bullets represent the feature presentation of the report. Here’s where your team will work through each accessibility issue and make fixes. We make all of the above information flow logically from one column to the next and also as easy to understand as possible.
Obviously, some of the columns contain technical information such as the recommended fix column, but this will be easier to understand for developers working on the report.
The primary worksheet in the download contains 20 total rows: 1 row for column headings and the rest are populated information from an actual client’s report. We’ve fully redacted the report to protect the client’s privacy, but this spreadsheet shows you exactly the type of high quality deliverable you can expect from Accessible.org.
Audit Summary Worksheet
The audit summary worksheet is also contained in the file and includes details about the report:
- Page/Page Number – Sequential identifier for each audited webpage
- Title – Name of the webpage being tested
- URL – Web address of the page being evaluated
- Comments – Additional notes about the page
- Status – Fillable column for the status of a page
- Platform & OS Version – Testing environment details including Windows, Mac, Android, iOS
- Browsers – Testing browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari)
- Screen Readers – Assistive technology used (NVDA, VoiceOver)
Accessibility Tracker
In March 2025, we’re officially releasing our Accessibility Tracker software to make any audit report (not just ours) easily sortable so that your team can prioritize accessibility issues by one of two prioritization formulas that we created.
One is our data-backed lawsuit risk formula called, “risk.” Risk prioritizes issues by the most commonly claimed website accessibility issues in complaints filed in court, usually alleging violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
The other is our in-house weighted scoring system formula called, “impact.” Our impact formula is based on a calculated impact score of each success criterion. The impact score is derived from the following factors:
- Access Blocking Severity (35 points)
- Measures how completely the issue prevents users from accessing content
- Workaround Feasibility (25 points)
- Evaluates how easily users can find alternative ways to access content when an issue exists
- User Population Size (15 points)
- Considers how many users are potentially affected by the issue
- Contextual Criticality (10 points)
- Assesses how important the affected functionality is to completing core tasks
- Frequency/Likelihood Factor (15 points)
- Evaluates how commonly the issue occurs on typical websites
We’ll update this blog post as soon as Accessibility Tracker is released, but, for now, you do have our audit report.
