Digital Accessibility Audit Services

Accessibility audits are usually priced by how many page templates are tested and how much of the testing is done by hand. Ours start at £640 for a Healthcheck of five templates, £3,800 for a full WCAG 2.2 AA audit of ten templates, and from £4,920 for larger organisations with a scoped quote.

Agree the pages and user journeys to test, run automated tools across them, then test each template by hand with a keyboard, screen readers and zoom against each WCAG 2.2 AA success criterion. Each issue is recorded with where it is, who it affects and how to fix it, then put in priority order.

For public sector websites, yes. The Public Sector Bodies Accessibility Regulations 2018 require them to meet WCAG, and they are monitored against WCAG 2.2 AA. For businesses and charities, the Equality Act 2010 requires reasonable adjustments so disabled people can use your services, including your website. The Act doesn’t name WCAG, but WCAG 2.2 AA is the recognised benchmark for meeting that duty. If you sell to customers in the EU, the European Accessibility Act may also apply.

In England, Scotland and Wales, the Equality Act 2010 requires businesses, charities and other service providers to make reasonable adjustments so disabled people can use their services, including their website. The Disability Discrimination Act 1995 sets the same duty in Northern Ireland. Public sector websites and apps must also meet the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018, which require them to meet WCAG and publish an accessibility statement. If you sell products or services such as online shopping or banking to customers in the EU, the European Accessibility Act applies too, although the smallest service businesses are exempt.

Yes. Under the Equality Act 2010, a disabled person can bring a claim against a business or organisation that fails to make reasonable adjustments, and that includes its website. Claims go to the county court in England and Wales, or the sheriff court in Scotland. We’re not lawyers, so take legal advice on your own position. An audit gives you a documented record of the issues on your site and a plan to fix them.

An automated check, like our free website checker, scans a page in under a minute and gives you a snapshot of your compliance against WCAG 2.2 AA. An audit is carried out by a person, who tests with a keyboard and screen readers and checks what a tool can’t judge, such as whether an image description makes sense or whether a keyboard moves through the page in a logical order.

Yes. Your report is written so your own developers can work from it, or we can make the fixes for you. If we do, we retest every fix.

Yes, if your website needs to meet the EAA requirements, we can support you with audits, accessible design, and ongoing advice.

You should review your website's accessibility regularly, ideally every four to six months or when making significant changes. Regular checks ensure your site remains accessible as you add new content, make updates, or as standards evolve.
