What we audit
Automated scanners catch roughly a third of accessibility issues. We run them, then test the rest by hand — keyboard, screen reader, zoom and colour — on your real templates.
Accessibility (WCAG 2.2 AA)
- Automated scan of every template plus your 10 highest-traffic pages
- Manual keyboard and screen-reader pass (NVDA/VoiceOver) on navigation, forms, checkout and modals
- Colour contrast, focus visibility, heading order, link purpose, alt text and media captions
- Zoom to 200% and reflow at 320px
Privacy & consent
- Which scripts, cookies and pixels fire before consent
- Privacy policy and cookie policy checked against what the site actually does
- Form data flows: where submissions go, who receives them, retention
- Required disclosures present and linked (terms, refunds, affiliate, DMCA where applicable)
Content governance
- Ownership: who can publish, approve and change what
- User roles and admin count reviewed against least privilege
- Stale pages, orphaned pages, broken links and redirect chains
- Legal-page review cadence and version history
Structure & findability
- Page titles, meta descriptions, canonical and indexing rules
- Navigation consistency and skip links
- XML sitemap and robots coverage of key pages
- Structured data errors that affect how pages are understood
Forms & transactions
- Every form and the checkout tested end-to-end with a keyboard and screen reader
- Error messages, labels, required-field handling, timeouts
- Confirmation and notification emails verified

Questions
Is this a legal compliance certification?
No. It is an expert audit and remediation plan against published standards (WCAG 2.2 AA and common privacy requirements). We do not issue certificates or legal opinions; if you need one, the report is written so your counsel or a certifying body can work from it.
What is the difference between this and the free self-check?
The Free Website Health Audit is a 12-question self-assessment. This audit is manual testing by a person on your actual site, with every finding evidenced and mapped to a success criterion.
Do you fix the issues?
The audit is diagnosis. Most clients hand the plan to their developer; if you would like us to do the work, we quote remediation from the report so there are no surprises.
Does it cover WooCommerce or membership areas?
Yes — cart, checkout, account and login flows are included. Very large catalogues or gated content beyond 50 pages are quoted at intake.
What about the Website Technology Stack Audit ($47)?
That is a technical scorecard of your hosting, plugins and configuration. This audit is about people and rules: can everyone use the site, and does it do what your policies say it does.
