Introduction to Manual Accessibility Testing & Our Team
When it comes to ensuring your website is truly accessible, automated tools can only take you so far. While they provide useful insights, the real test comes from manual accessibility testing by individuals who use assistive technologies every day. This approach uncovers deep-rooted issues that automated tools often miss, giving you a clear picture of how your site performs for users with disabilities.
In this section, we introduce the importance of manual accessibility testing, share how our team of disabled testers brings a unique perspective, and explain how we go a step further with real-life testing and live audits. Each child page below dives deeper into these aspects, showing you why we believe this is the best way to improve accessibility and create a more inclusive website for all users.

Manual Accessibility Testing
You may be feeling rather daunted by the amount of automated website accessibility checks we have listed. Do not worry! It is much better to have a clear understanding of what issues may be present.
To fully understand the true accessibility of a website, thorough manual checking is also a must. Our expertise in accessible website design allows us to give you a deeper insight than you might have otherwise..
Our Testing Team
Although we have worked in website accessibility for disabled people since 2006, we are always learning! We bring in members from our team of disabled people to test the website themselves. We record each live session and include it as part of our final audit.
This part is everyone’s favourite, our clients love it and so do we! No matter how thorough you think you have been, you cannot beat the real live feedback from a disabled tester as they use the website for themselves!
