Audit Your Site

An Accessibility Audit is a comprehensive evaluation of a website or application to determine if it meets recognized accessibility standards, most notably the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). This process involves a methodical examination of every aspect of the digital platform, from its code and design to its content and functionality.

Typically, an Accessibility Audit utilizes a combination of automated testing tools, which can quickly scan for common accessibility issues, and manual reviews conducted by accessibility experts.
