Accessibility Audits
Making sure the thing works for everyone.
What It Is
Systematic evaluation of a digital product against WCAG guidelines and assistive technology compatibility. About 15-20% of the population has some form of disability, accessibility is often a legal requirement, and good accessibility improves usability for everyone.
How It Works
Automated scanning catches common issues — missing alt text, insufficient color contrast, missing form labels. Then manual testing fills in what automation misses — screen reader navigation, keyboard-only interaction, semantic HTML structure, ARIA usage. The combination catches what neither approach would find alone.
When to Do It
During design, as a review checkpoint. Before launch, as a quality gate. Periodically after launch, as a health check. The earlier you catch issues, the cheaper they are to fix.
What It Produces
A prioritized list of violations organized by WCAG level and impact. Specific remediation guidance for each issue. Before-and-after recommendations so the team knows exactly what needs to change.
