Test Web Page Accessibility with a Website Accessibility Audit

What Is a Website Accessibility Audit?

To test web page accessibility, we begin by checking how well your website supports users with disabilities. A web audit is a professional evaluation of how well your website meets recognised accessibility standards, such as WCAG 2.2. The aim is to identify and remove digital barriers that prevent disabled people from accessing your content or using your services.

A full audit typically includes technical testing, live testing with disabled users, and a full report outlining issues and solutions. It helps your organisation avoid legal risk, improve user experience, and meet your ethical obligations. If you need an expert accessibility review for your platform, this is the first step.

Who Needs a Website Accessibility Audit?

If your business operates in or trades with customers in the EU, the EAA applies to you. This includes B2B and B2C companies, service providers, charities, and online platforms. If you offer digital content or services and any part of your audience is in the EU, your website must be accessible.

Even outside the EU, regulations such as the UK Equality Act and the US ADA increasingly require digital accessibility. A detailed site accessibility test is no longer optional.

Why Accessibility Audits Matter

From 28 June 2025, the EAA requires businesses that operate within the EU to meet accessibility requirements. This includes:

  • Conformance with WCAG 2.2 AA
  • A valid Accessibility Statement
  • Ongoing accessibility monitoring

Failure to comply can result in:

  • Financial penalties
  • Contract loss
  • Legal complaints
  • Reputational damage

One in five people has a disability. Many more benefit from accessible features. Accessibility is not just about compliance it is about equality.

An accessible site works better for everyone. It loads faster, works well on mobile, and supports SEO. A structured web compliance audit gives you a competitive edge.

What Does a Website Accessibility Audit Include?

We go beyond automated testing. A full audit includes:

  • Manual testing by our in-house experts
  • Live testing by disabled users
  • Technical review against WCAG 2.2
  • Review of site navigation and usability
  • Testing of forms, PDFs, and third-party tools
  • Video recordings showing issues in real time
  • A detailed written report and fix roadmap

You will also receive a compliant Accessibility Statement and an optional retest once fixes are complete. If you are wondering how to carry out a digital usability check properly, this approach sets the gold standard.
