Why Audits Matter
Why Accessibility Audits Matter
An audit shows how real people experience your website or app, not just what automated tools can detect. Our manual WCAG and ADA website auditors test your key flows with a keyboard, NVDA, JAWS and VoiceOver, then tell you what to fix first. See the format in our sample audit report, or ask for VPAT and ACR documentation when buyers need proof.
-
Find Barriers Before Users Do
Barriers can stop customers from buying, patients from reaching care, students from finishing courses and staff from using internal tools. An audit finds them before they turn into complaints, lost deals or legal risk.
-
Improve Usability For Everyone
Clear form labels, visible focus, strong contrast, consistent headings, readable error messages and predictable navigation help disabled users and make your product easier for everyone.
-
Prepare For Compliance Requirements
See your gaps against WCAG 2.2, ADA expectations, Section 508, EN 301 549 and PDF/UA, with a documented baseline and a prioritized plan.
-
Support Enterprise Procurement
Enterprise and government buyers increasingly ask for accessibility evidence before they buy. Audit findings, a remediation plan, VPAT support and retest results help you answer with confidence.
-
Reduce Long-Term Remediation Costs
Issues found early are usually cheaper to fix than issues found after launch. Fixing root causes in shared components stops the same defect repeating across pages and releases.
-
Build Accessibility Into Future Releases
A good audit shows the patterns behind each defect, so your design, development, QA and content teams can prevent them in future work.
Audit Scope

Quick Answer
Accessibility Service Summary
An accessibility audit is a structured evaluation of a website, application, or digital document to identify barriers that prevent people with disabilities from accessing digital content. A complete accessibility audit combines automated tools, manual keyboard testing, screen reader testing, mobile accessibility testing, and expert review against WCAG 2.2 success criteria to produce prioritized remediation guidance. In the 2026 WebAIM Million report, an annual review of the top one million home pages, 95.9% had detectable WCAG 2 failures, and automated tools can only detect part of the problem — which is why automated scans alone are never treated as a complete audit. HalfAccessible's WCAG audit services start with a $500 Quick Audit of up to 5 page templates, and the $2,000 Complete Audit is a full manual WCAG 2.2 audit of up to 25 templates or key user flows.
Think of an accessibility audit like a building safety inspection for your website or product. Instead of checking exits and alarms, it checks whether people using keyboards, screen readers, zoom, voice control, or other assistive technologies can understand content, navigate interfaces, complete forms, and finish important tasks.

Audit Options
Accessibility Audit Types And Who They Are For
Our WCAG audit services cover public websites, authenticated web apps, SaaS platforms, mobile apps, documents, video and design systems, tested by people, not just scanners.
Who it is for
Product and SaaS teams
Product teams use audits to validate complex workflows, reduce accessibility debt, improve component libraries, and prepare for enterprise accessibility reviews.
Procurement and compliance teams
Legal, compliance, procurement, and sales teams use audit evidence to answer buyer questions, support VPAT work, and document remediation commitments.
What it covers
Website Accessibility Audits
Evaluate public websites against WCAG 2.2 AA using manual testing, automated scanning, keyboard-only navigation, and assistive technologies.
Web Application Accessibility Audits
Review authenticated user journeys, dashboards, complex forms, data tables, notifications, custom widgets, and enterprise workflows.
Mobile Accessibility Audits
Test native and hybrid applications using VoiceOver, TalkBack, keyboard alternatives, zoom, orientation changes, touch target review, and gesture accessibility checks.
PDF And Document Accessibility Audits
Document accessibility audit services for PDFs, Word, PowerPoint and Excel files. We assess PDF/UA support, semantic tagging, reading order, alternative text, bookmarks, form fields, headings, tables and screen reader compatibility, and check every PDF with NVDA.
Accessibility Design Reviews
Identify accessibility issues in Figma files, design systems, and component specs before development begins, reducing rework and improving handoff quality.
VPAT And Procurement Reviews
Evaluate products and prepare accessibility documentation that supports enterprise and government procurement conversations.
WCAG 2.2 Compliance Audits
Our WCAG audit services test your site or app against WCAG 2.2 Level A and AA. The $2,000 Complete Audit is a full manual audit of up to 25 templates or key flows, with each failure mapped to its success criterion, the affected page or component and a recommended fix. W3C states that content conforming to WCAG 2.2 also conforms to WCAG 2.0 and 2.1, so one audit covers the WCAG requirements behind the ADA, Section 508 and EN 301 549.
Section 508 Testing
Section 508 testing for federal agencies and the vendors who sell to them, led by a DHS Section 508 Trusted Tester. The Revised 508 Standards require electronic content to conform to WCAG 2.0 Level A and AA, and our results can go straight into the Section 508 edition of a VPAT.
Ecommerce Accessibility Testing
Accessibility testing services for ecommerce websites cover search, filters, product pages, cart, checkout, payment and account flows, plus third-party apps such as reviews, chat and pop-ups. Shopify stores can choose the $2,000 Shopify Accessibility Audit, and any other platform can start with the $500 Quick Audit.
Product And Application Accessibility Audits
Product accessibility audits for SaaS platforms, customer portals, internal tools and enterprise software, tested role by role with your test accounts. For non-web software and documents we apply WCAG 2.2 using the W3C WCAG2ICT guidance, updated in December 2025, and the findings can feed an Accessibility Conformance Report.
Video And Media Accessibility Audits
We check prerecorded video for accurate captions, audio description or a media alternative, transcripts for audio-only content, live captions, and media players that work with a keyboard and screen reader (WCAG 1.2.1 to 1.2.5). For large libraries we sample by channel, template and player, so the findings scale across every video.
Issues We Identify
Accessibility Issues We Identify
Our accessibility audit services map every issue to user impact, WCAG criteria, severity and a practical fix. These are the 12 issue types we find most often, with the success criteria we test each one against.
Missing Alternative Text
Missing or inaccurate alt text hides meaningful images, icons, charts, product photos and linked graphics from screen reader users.
- We check: informative images, decorative images that should stay silent, linked graphics, and complex charts or infographics that need a longer explanation.
- Typical fix: concise alt text, empty alt for decoration, or a caption or adjacent explanation for complex visuals.
- WCAG: 1.1.1 Non-text Content (Level A).
Keyboard Accessibility
Keyboard, switch and voice control users need every control to work without a mouse.
- We check: focus order, skip links, menus, modals, tabs, accordions, carousels, date pickers and full form flows with the keyboard only.
- Common failures: keyboard traps, missing or faint focus indicators, focus that jumps unexpectedly, and unreachable or pointer-only controls.
- WCAG: 2.1.1 Keyboard, 2.1.2 No Keyboard Trap, 2.4.3 Focus Order and 2.4.7 Focus Visible.
Color Contrast
Low contrast makes text, buttons, icons, form controls and charts hard or impossible to perceive.
- We check: normal and large text, links, UI components, focus indicators, disabled states, error messages and data visualizations.
- Typical fix: exact locations and recommended color values, plus notes where one design token or component style fixes the issue site-wide.
- WCAG: 1.4.3 Contrast (Minimum): 4.5:1 for normal text, 3:1 for large text. 1.4.11 Non-text Contrast: 3:1 for UI components and graphics.
Forms
Forms block users when labels, instructions, required indicators or error messages are not accessible.
- We test: every field with a keyboard and a screen reader, from the first input through error recovery to a successful submit.
- Flows covered: search, filters, password fields, payment and checkout, file uploads and multi-step workflows.
- WCAG: 3.3.2 Labels or Instructions, 3.3.1 Error Identification and 1.3.5 Identify Input Purpose (autocomplete).
Headings And Structure
Headings, lists, landmarks and reading order let assistive technology users understand and move through a page quickly.
- Common failures: skipped heading levels, visual headings that are not real headings, missing landmarks, fake lists, and a reading order that does not match the screen.
- Bonus: clean structure also makes content easier for search engines and AI systems to summarize.
- WCAG: 1.3.1 Info and Relationships, 1.3.2 Meaningful Sequence and 2.4.6 Headings and Labels.
Images And Media
Accessible media needs more than alt text: video and audio need alternatives and controls everyone can use.
- We check: captions, transcripts, audio description, video player controls, keyboard support and autoplay behavior.
- Complex images: charts and diagrams get an alternative that carries the same information without overwhelming users.
- WCAG: 1.2.2 Captions (Prerecorded), 1.2.5 Audio Description (Prerecorded) and 1.4.2 Audio Control.
Interactive Components
Dialogs, tabs, accordions, menus, carousels, comboboxes, tooltips and drawers need correct semantics and predictable keyboard behavior.
- We test: names, roles, states, focus management, Escape behavior and what a screen reader actually announces.
- Typical fix: component-level examples, so developers fix each pattern once at the source instead of patching every page.
- WCAG: 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value, 2.1.1 Keyboard and 2.4.3 Focus Order.
Tables
Data tables need programmatic links between headers and cells so screen reader users can follow rows, columns, totals and comparisons.
- We check: simple and complex tables, sortable tables, data grids, responsive tables, and financial or analytical reports.
- Typical fix: real header cells with scope, captions, simpler table structures, or an alternate layout for small screens.
- WCAG: 1.3.1 Info and Relationships.
Dynamic Content
Modern apps update content without a page reload, and screen reader users miss those changes unless they are announced.
- We test: status messages, ARIA live regions, notifications, loading indicators, validation updates, filters, search results and single-page app transitions.
- Common failures: important updates that are never announced, updates that are too noisy, and focus that is lost after an interaction.
- WCAG: 4.1.3 Status Messages (Level AA).
Authentication
Login, MFA, password reset, account creation and session timeouts control access to the whole product, so one barrier here blocks everything.
- We test: labels, password rules, one-time codes, CAPTCHA alternatives, error recovery, focus order and timeout warnings.
- Typical fix: allow paste and password managers, offer an alternative to puzzle-style CAPTCHA, and warn users before a session times out.
- WCAG: 3.3.8 Accessible Authentication (Minimum) and 2.2.1 Timing Adjustable.
WCAG 2.2 Criteria Most Sites Still Miss
WCAG 2.2 added six success criteria at Levels A and AA that older audits never checked, and 4.1.1 Parsing was removed. Every WCAG audit we run covers all six (What’s new in WCAG 2.2).
- Focus: 2.4.11 Focus Not Obscured (Minimum): sticky headers, cookie banners or chat widgets must not hide the focused element.
- Pointer: 2.5.7 Dragging Movements needs a single-pointer alternative to drag and drop; 2.5.8 Target Size (Minimum) asks for targets of at least 24 by 24 CSS pixels or enough spacing around them.
- Help and input: 3.2.6 Consistent Help, 3.3.7 Redundant Entry and 3.3.8 Accessible Authentication (Minimum): a login must not depend on a memory or puzzle test unless there is an alternative, such as paste or a password manager.
Mobile App Accessibility Issues
Mobile apps fail in ways a website scan never shows, so a person checks every flow on real devices.
- Common failures: unlabeled icon buttons, multi-finger or path-based gestures with no single-pointer alternative (2.5.1), screens locked to one orientation (1.3.4), small touch targets (2.5.8) and focus that jumps when content updates.
- We test with: VoiceOver, TalkBack, Switch Control and Voice Control, using Apple’s Accessibility Inspector and Google’s Accessibility Scanner only as a first pass. Google itself says the scanner is not a replacement for manual testing.

Accessibility Audit FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about accessibility audits, manual testing, screen readers, WCAG, remediation, procurement support, and retesting.
How much does an accessibility audit cost?
Our audit pricing is fixed and published. A Quick Accessibility Audit costs $500 and covers up to 5 page templates with automated and manual spot checks, a top-10 issues report, WCAG 2.2 mapping and a 30-minute review call. The Complete Accessibility Audit costs $2,000 and covers up to 25 page templates or key user flows with a full manual audit (JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver and keyboard), a severity-ranked report, a re-test of fixed issues, an accessibility statement draft and 90 days of support. The Shopify Accessibility Audit is also $2,000, and a 1-hour technical accessibility consultation (audit walkthrough, developer Q&A or live issue review) is $100. First conversations are a free 30-minute call, where we learn where your site stands, scope the project and give you a quote. Multi-product and enterprise programs are quoted after scoping. Compare every tier and the full accessibility audit cost on our pricing page, or read our audit cost guide for market rates and what drives the price.
What is the difference between the Quick Audit and the Complete Audit?
The $500 Quick Accessibility Audit is a fast health check: up to 5 page templates, automated and manual spot checks, a top-10 issues report and a 30-minute review call. The $2,000 Complete Accessibility Audit is a full manual audit of up to 25 page templates or key user flows with JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver and keyboard testing, a severity-ranked report, a re-test of fixed issues, an accessibility statement draft and 90 days of support. If you are unsure which one fits, book a free 30-minute call and we will recommend a scope. If you want a fast first look, start with the Quick Audit: it shows where your biggest risks are before you commit to full coverage.
What do your WCAG audit services include?
A WCAG audit tests a representative sample of your pages, templates and user journeys against WCAG 2.2 Level A and AA. Our process lines up with the W3C’s WCAG-EM 2.0 methodology, published in July 2026: define the scope, explore the product, select a representative sample, evaluate it and report the findings. Testing combines automated scans with keyboard and screen reader testing (NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver and TalkBack), and the report maps each issue to its success criterion, severity and a recommended fix. The $2,000 Complete Audit is a full manual WCAG 2.2 audit of up to 25 templates or key flows; the $500 Quick Audit is a lighter health check of up to 5 page templates with a top-10 issues report. Request a sample report to see the format.
How long does an accessibility audit take?
Timeline depends on scope. A small marketing website may take a few days, while an enterprise SaaS product, authenticated application or large document set may take several weeks. The Shopify Accessibility Audit takes 10–14 business days from scoping to final report. For other audits we confirm the scope and fixed price, usually within 2 business days, and agree the timeline before starting.
Are your audits done by manual ADA website auditors or by software?
By people. Automated tools are only our first pass. The Complete Audit is a full manual audit: a human auditor tests your pages and user flows with a keyboard, NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver and TalkBack. Audits are led by our founder, who holds the IAAP CPACC, WAS and CPWA credentials and is a DHS Section 508 Trusted Tester (see his profile). That matters because software cannot judge whether alt text is meaningful, whether focus order makes sense or whether a checkout works with a screen reader. Our ADA and Section 508 accessibility audit page explains how results map to ADA expectations.
Which WCAG version do you test against?
We typically test against WCAG 2.2 Level AA, which also covers the WCAG 2.1 AA level most ADA settlements and the DOJ Title II rule refer to. If your organization needs a different target, such as WCAG 2.1, Section 508, EN 301 549 or PDF/UA, we test and report against that instead.
Do you offer Section 508 testing?
Yes. The Revised Section 508 Standards require electronic content to conform to WCAG 2.0 Level A and AA, which the standards incorporate by reference, and federal agencies, government contractors and many public-sector buyers ask for that evidence. Our audits are led by a DHS Section 508 Trusted Tester, test against WCAG 2.2 AA (content that conforms to WCAG 2.2 also conforms to WCAG 2.0), and can feed a VPAT or Accessibility Conformance Report. See how our Section 508 testing and ADA audit service works, or use the government accessibility audit request form if you are a public agency. The official requirements are published in the U.S. Access Board’s Section 508 Standards.
Can I see a sample accessibility audit report?
Yes. Request our sample audit report and we will send the same WCAG 2.2 report format we deliver on Quick and Complete audits, with an executive summary, issue-by-issue findings mapped to WCAG criteria, severity ratings, screenshots and developer-ready fix guidance.
Do you provide remediation?
Yes. After the audit we can provide remediation guidance, developer support or direct code fixes in your templates, components and documents, depending on your technology stack. Remediation is quoted after scoping; see our accessibility remediation services for how the work and the retest run.
Can you retest fixes?
Yes. Retesting verifies that each fix resolves the original barrier and does not introduce new issues in the affected flows. A re-test of fixed issues is included in the $2,000 Complete Accessibility Audit; for other scopes, ask about retesting on a free 30-minute call.
Do you provide VPAT support after an audit?
Yes. Audit findings can feed a VPAT or Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR), which SaaS companies and vendors selling to enterprise or government buyers are often asked for. VPAT/ACR documentation is quoted after scoping, usually within 1 to 2 business days; see our VPAT and ACR services.
Will an audit make my site compliant?
No audit can make a site compliant on its own. An audit identifies the barriers and gives you a prioritized remediation roadmap; compliance improves when those issues are fixed, retested and kept in check through ongoing governance as your content changes. We do not sell “guaranteed compliance”, because nobody honestly can.
We received an ADA demand letter. Can you audit our website quickly?
Yes. Start with a $500 Quick Audit to see the biggest barriers on up to 5 page templates, or choose the $2,000 Complete Audit when you need full manual coverage, a re-test of fixed issues and an accessibility statement draft to share with your attorney. Demand letters and lawsuits are common: Seyfarth Shaw counted 3,117 website accessibility lawsuits in U.S. federal court in 2025, up 27% from 2024. Our ADA lawsuit remediation page explains the audit, fix and re-test plan we follow. We are accessibility specialists, not lawyers, so keep your attorney involved in any legal response.
Should I book the free 30-minute call or the $100 consultation before an audit?
Book the free 30-minute call if this is your first conversation with us: we find out where your website or app stands, talk through what you need and recommend an audit scope with a quote. It is the right first step for most people exploring an audit. Book the $100 one-hour consultation when you need a hands-on technical session now, for example walking through an existing audit or scan report, talking with your developer about specific fixes, or reviewing issues live on screen. When you are ready for written findings, the $500 Quick Audit and the $2,000 Complete Audit are the next steps (compare pricing).
How do we start?
The fastest way is to start a $500 Quick Audit: share your URL and up to 5 pages or templates and we take it from there. For a larger site, app or document set, tell us the URL, application type, representative workflows, target standard and any deadlines through our free accessibility needs assessment. We reply within 2 business days with a recommended audit scope and next steps. Prefer to talk first? Book a free 30-minute call to discuss where you stand and get a quote.
