Inside the Sample

What a Sample Accessibility Audit Report Includes

Executive Summary

A plain-language overview of risk areas and recommended next steps, written in the same summary style as our paid reports.

Issue-by-Issue Findings

WCAG 2.2 criteria mapped with severity ratings, screenshots, and where the issue appears in the UI.

Developer-Ready Fixes

Code-level remediation guidance your developers can act on, not vague scanner warnings.

AT Testing Notes

Paid audits document checks with NVDA, JAWS, and VoiceOver; the sample shows how those notes are written.

Severity And Priority Ranking

Every issue is ranked by severity so your team fixes the barriers that block users first. The $500 Quick Audit reports your top 10 issues.

Re-Test And Statement Draft

The $2,000 Complete Audit adds a re-test of fixed issues and an accessibility statement draft, so you finish with evidence, not just a list.

Sample vs Paid

How a Sample Accessibility Audit Report Differs From Paid Audits

A sample accessibility audit report proves format and writing style. It is free and creates no obligation. A paid Quick Audit ($500) or Complete package on pricing ($2,000) covers your product with a full issue inventory, prioritised remediation, and assistive-technology notes.

We map findings to WCAG 2.2, the W3C WCAG overview, ADA web guidance, and, when relevant, Section 508. Audits are led by our founder, who holds IAAP credentials (accessibilityassociation.org). Screen-reader testing often uses NVDA.

Buyer's Checklist

How To Judge Any Accessibility Audit Report

Use the sample to judge any accessibility audit report, ours or another vendor’s. The W3C’s WCAG Evaluation Methodology (WCAG-EM) 2.0, published as a W3C Group Note on July 23, 2026, describes five steps: define the evaluation scope, explore the product, select a representative sample, evaluate it, and report the findings. A report you can act on shows its work for each step.

What a good accessibility audit report includes

  • Scope and conformance target: the site or product, the exact pages, templates and user flows reviewed, and the standard used, for example WCAG 2.2 Level AA.
  • Dates and reviewers: when the review happened and who did it. The W3C accessibility evaluation report template has sections for the scope of review, reviewers, review process, and results and recommended actions.
  • Method: which automated tools, browsers and assistive technologies were used (for example NVDA, JAWS and VoiceOver) and which pages were checked by hand.
  • Findings mapped to success criteria: each issue linked to a WCAG success criterion, with its location, a screenshot and a severity rating.
  • Fix guidance: what to change in the code or content, written so a developer can ship the fix.
  • Next steps: a prioritised order of work and, for larger audits, a re-test that proves the fixes.

Red flags in a cheap or automated report

  • Scanner output only. The W3C notes that evaluation tools “can not determine accessibility, they can only assist in doing so,” and its report template says conformance evaluation needs semi-automated tools plus manual evaluation by an experienced reviewer.
  • A “100% compliant” promise or an overlay widget. In April 2025 the FTC approved a final order requiring accessiBe to pay $1 million and barring it from claiming its automated products can make any website WCAG-compliant unless it has evidence to support that.
  • No pages, dates or standard version listed. Without them you cannot tell what was tested, or show a buyer, regulator or attorney what was checked.
  • No fix guidance. A list of error codes leaves your developers guessing.

Need a report for a procurement team instead? Ask for VPAT and Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR) documentation, quoted with your audit.

Next Step

From Sample Report To Your Own Accessibility Audit

Most sites have issues worth reporting. In February 2026 the WebAIM Million found detected WCAG 2 failures on 95.9% of the top 1,000,000 home pages, an average of 56.1 errors per page. The most common were low contrast text (83.9% of home pages), missing image alt text (53.1%), missing form input labels (51%), empty links (46.3%) and empty buttons (30.6%).

Once the sample shows you the format, find your situation below. Prefer a written recommendation? Ask for a free accessibility needs assessment and we reply with a recommended scope and a fixed price within 2 business days. Every audit is done by our team, led by an IAAP CPWA-certified founder with 10+ years of accessibility testing and accessible development experience. See real engagements in our case studies. US state and local government teams can check the deadlines in the ADA Title II web rule.

Common Questions

Sample Accessibility Audit Report FAQs

What is in a sample accessibility audit report?

A sample accessibility audit report shows the same format we deliver on paid engagements: an executive summary, WCAG 2.2 issue-by-issue findings with severity ratings, screenshots, and developer-ready remediation guidance. It is a free preview of our deliverable, not a full site conformance report.

Is the sample accessibility audit report really free?

Yes. Requesting a sample is free and creates no obligation. Share your email, and optionally your website URL. If you share your URL, our team runs a free preliminary scan of your own site and includes it with the sample, so you can see how findings on your site would be presented.

How is a sample different from the Quick ($500) or Complete ($2,000) audits?

The sample proves format and depth. A paid Quick Audit ($500) or Complete package on pricing ($2,000) covers your product with full issue inventory, AT testing notes, and prioritised fixes. Platform-specific options include WordPress and Shopify accessibility audits ($2,000 for the Shopify Complete package).

Do you test with real assistive technology?

Paid audits include manual testing with screen readers such as NVDA, plus JAWS and VoiceOver where relevant, not scanner-only output. The sample shows how those findings are written up against W3C WCAG criteria.

What should I do after I request a sample accessibility audit report?

Review the sample, then book a free 30-minute call to talk through where your site stands and get a fixed quote, or start a $500 Quick Audit right away. Book the $100 technical consultation when you want a hands-on session, such as walking through findings with your developer. You can also explore accessibility audit services, or ask about accessibility remediation if you already have findings.

Which standards and laws do your audits map to?

We map findings to WCAG 2.2, ADA web guidance, and, when relevant, Section 508. Audits are led by our founder, who holds IAAP credentials (accessibilityassociation.org). Browse the full catalog on our services.

What should an accessibility audit report include?

A useful report states its scope (the pages, templates and flows reviewed), the standard and level tested, such as WCAG 2.2 AA, the review dates, who reviewed it and how, and then each finding mapped to a success criterion with its location, severity, a screenshot and fix guidance. That matches the sections of the W3C evaluation report template and the reporting step of WCAG-EM 2.0.

Is an automated scan report the same as an accessibility audit report?

No. Automated scans catch some detectable issues, such as missing labels and low contrast, but the W3C says evaluation tools “can not determine accessibility, they can only assist in doing so.” An audit report adds manual testing with a keyboard and screen readers by an experienced reviewer, which is how barriers like focus traps, confusing announcements and unusable error messages are found.

What happens after I request the sample?

We confirm your request on screen. If you shared a website URL, our team runs a free scan of your site and emails your sample accessibility audit report to the address you entered. When you are ready for a full audit of your own site, start a $500 Quick Audit or ask for a free needs assessment.

How much does a full accessibility audit report cost?

Our prices are fixed: $100 for a 1-hour technical consultation (audit walkthrough, developer Q&A or live issue review), $500 for a Quick Audit of up to 5 page templates, and $2,000 for a Complete Audit of up to 25 templates or key user flows. First conversations are a free 30-minute call. The Shopify Accessibility Audit is $2,000. VPAT/ACR documentation and remediation are quoted from your scope. See pricing and the accessibility audit cost guide.

Can an accessibility audit report help with an ADA demand letter?

Yes, as evidence of the barriers on your site and a plan to fix them. A demand letter usually needs the named barriers fixed and documented, so see our ADA lawsuit remediation service and work with your attorney. We do not give legal advice.

Do you also provide a VPAT or Accessibility Conformance Report?

Yes. A VPAT completed for your product is an Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR) that buyers and procurement teams ask for. We base it on an audit of your product and quote it with the audit. Request a VPAT quote or read about VPAT/ACR documentation.

Can I scan my own site for free right now?

Yes. AccessibilityScore.in is our free WCAG scan, powered by HalfAccessible and axe-core. It scans one public page and shows common issues with severity, WCAG mapping and fix guidance. Treat it as a starting point: automated checks cannot confirm keyboard access, focus order or screen reader behavior, which is what the manual testing in our audits covers. You can also add your URL to the form above for a preliminary scan with your sample report.
