What Shad Tests And Documents
Here is where Shad fits in an engagement, with links to the service or testing guide behind each part.
Manual and assistive technology testing
Shad performs manual accessibility testing with NVDA and keyboard-only navigation, the checks that show how a real visitor moves through a page.
- NVDA: how content and controls are announced. See our screen reader testing guide.
- Keyboard only: focus order, visible focus and controls that work without a mouse. See our keyboard testing guide.
Automated checks with Axe and WAVE
Alongside manual testing he runs automated tools including Axe and WAVE, which surface pattern issues quickly but leave the judgment calls to people.
- Where scans stop: meaning, reading flow and assistive technology behavior. Our automated vs manual testing guide explains the gap.
- Quick first look: a free scan on AccessibilityScore.in (opens in a new tab) flags automated issues on one page. It is a starting point, not a replacement for a manual audit.
Developer-ready findings
He helps identify issues with semantic HTML, forms, images, headings, color contrast and focus management, and supports the team in documenting them with clear remediation guidance.
- What the report looks like: each issue explained with a fix your developers can act on.
- Want the fixes done for you? Our accessibility remediation service picks up where the audit ends.
Audits toward WCAG 2.2 compliance
Shad contributes to accessibility audits that help organizations understand where they stand against WCAG 2.2 and what it takes to reach compliance.
- Quick start: the $500 Quick Audit gives a clear first baseline.
- Budgeting: see what drives accessibility audit cost, then compare packages on pricing.
