More than an automated accessibility score
An effective accessibility audit examines how people navigate, understand and use your website—not just whether a scanner flags errors. Scope and applicable standards are agreed before work begins.
Automated checks
Identify detectable issues such as missing accessible names, certain contrast failures and structural errors across representative templates.
Manual evaluation
Review keyboard access, focus order, interactive controls, forms, navigation and meaningful content structure.
Assistive technology
Where included in scope, assess key user journeys with screen readers and other assistive technologies.
WCAG mapping
Connect observed barriers to applicable WCAG success criteria and document expected versus actual behaviour.
Prioritized findings
Receive reproducible issues, user impact, affected pages or components and actionable remediation recommendations.
Fix verification
Arrange retesting after changes to assess whether identified barriers were resolved and to check for regressions.
A practical four-step audit process
Designed to give designers, developers, content owners and decision-makers clear next steps.
Define scope
Agree on page templates, workflows, technologies, user needs and the WCAG version and level to evaluate.
Test experiences
Combine tool-assisted scanning with manual checks on agreed pages and critical tasks.
Report barriers
Document evidence, severity, user impact and practical fix recommendations.
Support remediation
Help teams understand findings and, if agreed, verify completed fixes.

WCAG, AODA and Canadian accessibility requirements
WCAG provides technical success criteria for web content. Legal obligations vary by jurisdiction, sector, organization and applicable regulations. For example, Ontario's AODA framework includes accessibility requirements for certain organizations, while federal organizations may have obligations under the Accessible Canada Act.
We help you understand audit findings in relation to the standards selected for your assessment. An audit is not a legal certification or a guarantee of compliance.

Website accessibility audit questions
What is a website accessibility audit?
A website accessibility audit is a structured evaluation of digital barriers. It typically combines automated and manual testing, records findings against a defined standard such as WCAG and recommends fixes.
Is automated accessibility testing enough?
No. Automated scanners can identify some issues, but they cannot reliably assess all keyboard interactions, reading order, usability or assistive technology experiences.
How long does an accessibility audit take?
Timing depends on the number of unique templates, complexity of workflows, test environments and depth of manual evaluation. A timeline should be confirmed after scoping.
Does passing an audit guarantee AODA compliance?
No. Compliance depends on the legal obligations that apply to your organization and may extend beyond the pages or criteria included in an audit.
What happens after the audit?
Your team can prioritize fixes using the documented issues and recommendations. A follow-up retest can check the effectiveness of remediation work.
Which WCAG version should our website target?
The right target depends on contractual, legal and organizational requirements. WCAG 2.2 is a current W3C recommendation, but some regulations explicitly reference earlier versions. Confirm the applicable requirement during scoping.
