Fast & Broad
Use tools (axe, Lighthouse, WAVE, etc.) to quickly flag common issues like missing alt text, low contrast, incorrect heading structure, and keyboard traps. They're fast but incomplete and can miss many user-impacting problems.
Hybrid Audits
Best Value
Start with automated scanning for broad coverage, then layer manual checks on representative pages and components to capture real-world issues at a lower cost.
Manual Expert Audits
Most Comprehensive
Specialists manually test templates, key flows, and components (forms, navigation, video players, sliders) with assistive tech like screen readers and keyboard-only navigation, providing more reliable and actionable findings.
The Audit Lifecycle
Accessibility isn't a one-time project. It's a continuous process of auditing, fixing, and maintaining compliance as your website evolves.
1. Before the Audit
Clarify your target standards (e.g., WCAG 2.1/2.2 AA, ADA, EN 301 549), inventory templates and components, and ensure stakeholders understand why accessibility matters beyond "staying out of court."
2. During the Audit
Maintain a log of tested pages and scenarios, avoid relying solely on plugins or overlays, and keep developers involved so findings translate quickly into code-level changes.
3. After the Audit
Implement fixes, re-test high-risk areas, and set up periodic re-audits or continuous monitoring, since new content, themes, or plugins can introduce fresh accessibility issues.
