Quick Answer

Accessibility Service Summary

Quick Answer

A low-cost accessibility audit is a streamlined professional review of a website against WCAG 2.2 accessibility requirements. Instead of auditing every page, representative page templates and key user journeys are evaluated using automated tools and manual accessibility testing. This approach provides actionable findings at a lower cost while maintaining meaningful coverage. Sampling representative templates is a common approach for sites with repeated layouts.

In Simple Terms

This service is designed for small websites that need useful accessibility findings without enterprise audit pricing. We focus on representative templates, shared components, key forms, navigation, and common user barriers so you can understand your biggest accessibility risks and fix the highest-impact issues first.

Issues Identified

Accessibility Issues We Identify

The audit focuses on practical WCAG 2.2 issues that commonly affect small websites, lead generation pages, forms, and shared templates.

Missing Alternative Text

We identify images, icons, graphics, logos, and functional imagery that need useful alternative text or should be marked decorative.

Keyboard Navigation Problems

We check whether users can reach and operate menus, links, buttons, forms, widgets, and page controls without a mouse.

Color Contrast Failures

We review text, buttons, links, icons, form states, and visual UI elements that may not meet contrast requirements.

Form Accessibility

We identify missing labels, unclear instructions, inaccessible errors, required-field issues, poor focus order, and screen reader problems in forms.

Heading Structure

We review heading order, page outline, skipped levels, missing headings, duplicate headings, and structure that affects screen reader navigation.

Accessible Links

We check vague link text, repeated calls to action, empty links, icon-only links, broken accessible names, and links that need clearer purpose.

Tables

We identify table header, scope, caption, structure, and responsive table issues on pages that include tabular data.

Images

We review informative images, decorative images, image links, text inside images, charts, icons, and marketing graphics for accessibility impact.

Focus Visibility

We check whether keyboard users can clearly see where focus is on navigation, buttons, links, form controls, and interactive elements.

ARIA Issues

We identify ARIA misuse, missing accessible names, invalid roles, incorrect states, and cases where native HTML would be safer.

Responsive Accessibility

We test representative responsive behavior for mobile menus, zoom, reflow, touch targets, hidden content, and layout changes.

Low-Cost Accessibility Audit FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about $200 accessibility audits, manual testing, page limits, WCAG recommendations, ADA audit cost, upgrades, and what is included.

Is a $200 accessibility audit manual or automated?

It includes both automated accessibility scanning and expert manual testing. Automated tools help identify detectable issues, while manual review finds real barriers that tools often miss.

How many pages are included?

The low-cost audit is designed for up to 5 representative pages, such as a homepage, about page, contact page, service or product page, primary form, navigation, footer, and shared components.

Can you audit more than five pages?

Yes. If your website needs more coverage, we can provide a custom quote or recommend a standard accessibility audit.

Will I receive WCAG recommendations?

Yes. Findings include practical recommendations mapped to relevant WCAG 2.2 accessibility expectations where applicable.

Can you fix the issues you identify?

Yes. HalfAccessible can provide remediation services after the audit, or your developer can use the report to fix issues internally.

Do you test with screen readers?

Yes. The audit includes screen reader validation for key page structure, navigation, forms, links, and important interactions where appropriate.

Is this suitable for ADA compliance?

The audit can help identify WCAG accessibility issues that may affect ADA risk, but legal compliance depends on your organization, jurisdiction, and broader accessibility program.

Is this enough for government procurement?

Usually no. Government procurement often requires deeper audit coverage, VPAT or ACR documentation, Section 508 review, and broader validation. We offer separate services for that.

Can I upgrade later?

Yes. You can upgrade to a standard audit, remediation support, monitoring, or VPAT documentation if your needs grow.

How long does the audit take?

Turnaround depends on current schedule and website complexity, but the low-cost audit is designed for faster delivery than larger enterprise audits.

Which browsers and assistive technologies do you test with?

Testing depends on scope, but may include modern browsers, keyboard-only navigation, screen reader validation, automated tools, and browser accessibility inspection.

What types of websites are best for this audit?

It is best for small business websites, startup landing pages, nonprofit websites, small school sites, local business websites, and marketing websites with reusable templates.

What is not included in the $200 audit?

Enterprise portals, native mobile apps, large SaaS platforms, 100+ page websites, government procurement documentation, VPAT preparation, and large PDF libraries are not included.

Do you audit every page on my website?

No. This audit reviews representative templates and key components instead of every page, which keeps the cost affordable while still producing meaningful findings.

Why is this audit affordable?

The audit is affordable because it focuses on representative templates, shared components, and small website scopes rather than every page or complex enterprise workflows.

Is this only an automated scan?

No. Automated scans are included, but the audit also includes manual WCAG review, keyboard testing, screen reader validation, and developer recommendations.

Will I receive a report?

Yes. You receive an accessibility report with issues, priorities, screenshots or references, WCAG mapping, and remediation guidance.

Do you include a consultation?

Yes. The low-cost audit includes a findings walkthrough or consultation so you understand the highest-impact issues and next steps.

Can agencies use this for client websites?

Yes. Digital agencies can use this audit for small client websites, pre-launch checks, or accessibility discovery work.

Can you audit WordPress websites?

Yes. We can audit WordPress websites, including themes, navigation, forms, content templates, plugins, and shared components.

Can you audit Shopify or ecommerce websites?

Yes, for small representative scopes. Larger ecommerce sites may require a standard audit because checkout, product variations, filters, accounts, and apps can add complexity.

Does the audit include PDFs?

Large PDF libraries are not included in the $200 audit. PDF accessibility can be handled through our PDF document remediation service.

Does the audit include retesting?

Retesting is optional. We can quote retesting after your team fixes the issues or include it in a larger audit package.

Can I use the report for my developer?

Yes. The report is written to be developer-friendly, with clear issue descriptions, impact, priority, WCAG mapping, and remediation guidance.

How do I start the $200 audit?

Send your website URL, key pages, platform details, and any known concerns. We will confirm whether your site fits the low-cost audit scope or recommend a custom quote.
