Audit and Re-Audit

Audit

Our comprehensive website accessibility audit service is designed to help you reach conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 AA. We will provide you with a formal, detailed accounting of all of your accessibility issues in plain, easy to understand language. By remediating the issues we find, you will improve the accessibility of your website and decrease your risk of litigation.

When you hire us, our team of technical accessibility experts will meticulously evaluate your website against WCAG 2.1 AA success criteria, identifying any accessibility issues that need to be addressed. Our approach to audits is both strategic and efficient, focusing on primary page layouts to maximize the impact of our findings without incurring unnecessary costs.

  1. Identifying primary page layouts: We work with you to determine the essential templates of your website and apply our audit results universally across your site, ensuring maximum coverage with minimal effort.
  2. Evaluating against WCAG 2.1 AA: Our experts diligently assess your website against all 50 success criteria in the WCAG 2.1 AA guidelines. We also test your website’s functionality, such as keyboard navigability, to ensure a seamless user experience.
  3. Chronological issue listing: We provide a clear and organized list of accessibility issues for each page template or layout, presented in chronological order for easy reference.
  4. Remediation instructions and examples: Our team offers precise instructions or code examples to address the identified issues, empowering your developers, designers, or content editors to make your website fully accessible.
  5. Automated scan integration: We leverage automated scanning tools to complement our manual audit process, reducing the possibility of human error.
  6. Clear and concise PDF report deliverable: Our audit report is designed to be actionable, easy to understand, and free from unnecessary technical jargon.

Re-Audit

After you have addressed the issues identified in our comprehensive website accessibility audit, we highly recommend our follow-up, post-remediation re-audit service. This re-audit ensures that all accessibility issues have been effectively resolved and verifies that your website maintains conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 AA. By opting for a re-audit, you will reinforce your commitment to accessibility – something you can include in your accessibility statement, and flatten any remaining accessibility issues which can only lower your risk of litigation.

Our re-audit process leverages the familiarity our team has developed with your website, allowing us to efficiently assess the remediation work completed. We will verify that all previously identified issues have been addressed and evaluate any new content or functionality added since the initial audit. This comprehensive re-audit helps ensure that your digital assets accessible and follow best practices for ADA compliance.

The post-remediation re-audit includes:

  1. Revisiting primary page layouts: We’ll review the essential templates of your website, focusing on areas where accessibility issues were previously identified.
  2. Re-evaluating against WCAG 2.1 AA: Our experts will reassess your website against the WCAG 2.1 AA success criteria, ensuring that all remediation work has been completed to meet the guidelines.
  3. Verifying issue resolution: We will confirm that all previously identified accessibility issues have been effectively addressed and provide an updated chronological list of any remaining issues, if applicable.
  4. Assessing new content and functionality: Our team will evaluate any new content or functionality added since the initial audit to ensure that it meets WCAG 2.1 AA.
  5. Updating the audit report: We will issue a new audit report that reflects any remaining issues and the current state of accessibility on your website.

As the re-audit is performed by Accessible.org, the same provider that conducted the original audit, we offer a significantly lower price for this service—typically 40-50% of the original quote. This cost-effective solution allows you to confirm that your remediation efforts have been successful and maintain a fully accessible online presence.

Don’t leave your website’s accessibility to chance. Choose for our post-remediation re-audit service to ensure that your digital assets remain compliant and accessible to all users. Contact Kris today at kris@accessible.org to schedule your re-audit and continue towards full WCAG conformance.
