We only use the AXE scan as a review, and never copy and paste results.

Re-Audit
After you have resolved the issues identified with our comprehensive website accessibility audit service, 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 is conformant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 AA. By opting for a re-audit, you will ensure that your fixes were implemented correctly.
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 focus in on and verify that all identified issues in the previous WCAG audit have been addressed so this is not a new web accessibility audit where we are starting over. This comprehensive re-audit helps ensure that your digital assets are accessible and follow best practices for ADA compliance.
The post-remediation re-audit includes:
- Revisiting issues in our report: We’ll review your remediation efforts, focusing in on the accessibility issues were previously identified.
- Re-evaluating against WCAG 2.1 AA: Our experts will reassess previous issues on your website against the WCAG 2.1 AA success criteria, ensuring that all remediation work has been completed to meet the guidelines.
- 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.
- Updating the WCAG audit report: We will issue a new WCAG 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 WCAG audit, we offer a significantly lower price for this service—typically 15-25% of the original quote. This cost-effective service allows you to confirm that your remediation efforts have been successful.
Don’t leave your website’s accessibility to chance. Choose our post-remediation re-audit service to ensure that your digital assets remain compliant and accessible to all users.
