A Personal Introduction from Clive Loseby

Why A Website Accessibility Audit Is Essential For Compliance And Inclusion

An accessibility audit is the foundation of every successful accessibility strategy. It provides a clear and independent view of how your website performs for people using assistive technologies such as screen readers or voice navigation. Without this insight, it is almost impossible to know whether your website is truly inclusive.

Most businesses are unaware of the barriers on their own websites. This is where we make the difference. Our accessibility audits reveal these barriers and explain exactly how to fix them. These website accessibility audits give you the evidence you need for compliance and inclusion.By following our recommendations, you can comply with international standards such as WCAG 2.2 AA and create a better experience for every visitor.

Web Accessibility Audit For Legal Compliance and User Trust

Accessibility is no longer optional. In the UK, the Equality Act 2010 makes it unlawful to provide a digital service that excludes disabled users. Across Europe, the European Accessibility Act is now in force and sets a new standard for accessibility that cannot be ignored. A web accessibility audit is the best way to ensure your site meets these requirements and reduces the risk of complaints or legal action.

Compliance is important, but the real power of accessibility is in creating a better online experience for everyone. An accessible site performs better in search engines, converts more visitors, and builds stronger trust with customers.

What A Professional Web Accessibility Audit Involves

A web accessibility audit is a detailed review of your website against recognised standards, with a focus on real usability. Automated tools only detect around 30 to 50 percent of issues. Our accessibility audits go much further. We involve a team of disabled testers who use assistive technologies in real time to find the problems that automated tools miss.

  • Keyboard navigation and focus order
  • Screen reader compatibility
  • Colour contrast and typography for readability
  • Form accessibility and error messages
  • Mobile and tablet responsiveness

The result is a clear, actionable plan that your team can implement to make real improvements.

How We Perform A Comprehensive Website Accessibility Audit

A website accessibility audit is only valuable if it gives you clear, actionable results. That is why our process is built around expert analysis, real user feedback and practical recommendations. We start with automated scanning tools to highlight common technical issues. These tools are helpful but limited. They only find part of the picture. Our true value comes from manual testing, where experienced accessibility specialists and disabled testers use your site exactly as your visitors would.

This combination of technology and human insight allows us to uncover both technical and usability problems. We then create a report that does more than list faults. It explains why each issue matters, how it impacts users and the steps required to fix it. Every recommendation is prioritised so your team knows what to tackle first.

Manual Accessibility Testing With Real Users

Our approach is unique because it is built around lived experience. Automated checks will never reveal how a blind user experiences your navigation or how someone with mobility challenges interacts with your forms. That is why we work with a team of disabled testers who evaluate your website in real time. They use screen readers, voice navigation, magnifiers and other assistive technologies to replicate real-world scenarios.

This hands-on testing not only finds the hidden barriers that tools miss but also provides valuable insights into how real people perceive and navigate your site. These findings are captured in a series of video recordings, which show exactly what happens when someone tries to use your website. This evidence is powerful. It allows your team to see the challenges for themselves and better understand why accessibility improvements are necessary.

Real Client Success Stories From Our Accesssibility Audits

Over the years, we have seen firsthand how a website accessibility audit can transform both user experience and business performance. One national charity believed its website was fully accessible because it passed automated scans. Yet real users with disabilities struggled to complete simple tasks like filling out donation forms. Our audit identified multiple issues with form labels, keyboard navigation and screen reader compatibility.

After implementing our recommendations, the charity reported:

  • Higher donation conversion rates
  • Fewer complaints from disabled users
  • Improved search rankings due to cleaner, well-structured content

The Business Case For A Professional Web Accessibility Audit

An accessible website is good for people and good for business. By improving site structure, speed and usability, accessibility directly supports better SEO performance. Search engines reward websites that are easy to navigate and understand, which means you can gain more organic traffic by making your site inclusive.

Customers are more likely to trust and engage with companies that show a genuine commitment to accessibility. This trust translates into stronger brand loyalty and higher conversion rates. Put simply, a website accessibility audit is not just about avoiding risk. It is about creating opportunities.

Accessibility Is More Than Compliance

While compliance with WCAG 2.2 AA is essential, accessibility is about more than meeting regulations. It is about creating a digital experience that reflects your values and respects every visitor. When your site is easy to use for people with disabilities, it is also easier and more enjoyable for everyone else.

We believe accessibility is a journey, not a one-time task. This is why we provide guidance that helps your business grow and adapt. Our audits give you a roadmap for the future, not just a snapshot of today.
