Journey-based testing
Your key paths, like search, forms, and checkout, tested end to end, first by keyboard, then with screen readers.
The Problem
Find Your Accessibility Barriers Before a Demand Letter Does
Most owners learn about accessibility problems from a complaint. An ADA website compliance audit shows you the same barriers first, ranked by what matters most.
01 · Untested site
You haven't tried your own site without a mouse.
We test real journeys with a keyboard, screen readers, and automated checks.
02 · Keyboard use
You don't know if your forms and menus work by keyboard.
Every barrier gets a clear explanation in words you can act on.
03 · Warning lists
Free checkers return warnings you can't rank.
Barriers that stop customers from buying rise to the top.
04 · First steps
You need to know what to fix first.
Effort estimates and a dated report show where to start.
A business down the street got a demand letter last spring, and now you're wondering about your own site. You haven't tried it without a mouse. You don't know if your contact form is labeled, whether your menu opens by keyboard, or if your photos have alt text. Free checkers return a long list of warnings you can't rank. You need one clear answer: what's risky, what's fine, and what to fix first.
We test the journeys your customers actually take, like finding a product, sending a form, and checking out, with a keyboard, two screen readers, and automated checks. Every barrier gets a clear explanation and a risk ranking, so you see what to fix first. You also get a fix plan with effort estimates and a dated report. You know where you stand in days, not after a letter arrives.
Findings in plain English
Each barrier explained in words you can act on, with no WCAG jargon to decode.
Ranked by real risk
Barriers that stop customers from buying or contacting you rise to the top.
Dated for your records
Your report carries the test dates, so you can show when your review began.
Our ADA Website Audit Process
From First Call to a Risk-Ranked Report in Five Clear Steps
You know the scope, the price, and the delivery date before testing starts. Most reports arrive within a week of your approval.
We ask about your site, your customers, and any demand letter sitting on your desk. If our Quick Audit already answers your question, we'll say so before quoting anything bigger.
What's Included
What You Get With an ADA Compliance Website Audit
It's an accessibility audit for website owners, not developers: what's broken, why it matters, and what to fix first, in one dated report.

What Our Clients Say
What Clients Say After Launch
Feedback from teams we have built websites and online stores for.
We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.
The mobile experience is probably my favourite part of the new site. We had spent a lot of time making sure the desktop version looked right, and the team kept pushing us to think about how everything would actually feel on a phone too. They were right. The navigation is clean, the interactions feel natural, and everything we’ve tested so far works exactly as it should. They also went through the links, forms, integrations, and other details more than once before launch, which I really appreciated. And even after going live, we could still reach out when something came up. The whole process felt friendly, organised, and surprisingly straightforward.
What I appreciate most is that the website is actually easy for us to manage now. We can update content ourselves instead of sending a developer a message every time we need to change something small. They also paid attention to the technical SEO side, which mattered to us because we didn’t want a new website to create problems for the traffic we already had. I’ve probably asked more questions than I should have since launch, but every question has been handled patiently and without any fuss. The team is easy to work with, they explain things clearly, and when we need something changed, they focus on getting it done rather than making the process complicated.

Why Owners Trust Our Web Accessibility Audit Services
A good audit tells you the truth quickly, in words you can use. These habits keep ours fast, clear, and honest about what we found.
Plain English over jargon
We explain each barrier by what a customer experiences, not by criterion numbers alone. You can brief your developer or attorney without translating.
Risk first, not A to Z
We rank barriers by how badly they block buying, booking, or contacting you. The riskiest fixes come first, so a small budget goes where it counts.
Days, not weeks
Most reports arrive within a week, because a complaint won't wait for a quarterly review. When a letter arrives, time matters.
Evidence you can file
Every barrier comes with a screenshot, the page address, and the date we found it. Your records show what you knew and when you started.
Facts, not legal verdicts
We report technical facts and risk, not legal conclusions. For the legal side of a letter, bring in an attorney, and we'll support them with evidence.
Fixed price, fixed date
You get the price and the delivery date in writing before testing starts. A bigger site means a bigger plan, not a surprise invoice.

Good fit
Owners who just received a demand letter
You have a letter on your desk and need to know which barriers are real and what to fix first.
Small businesses testing for the first time
Your site hasn't been checked by keyboard or screen reader yet, and you want a clear answer before someone else checks it.
Stores running on Shopify or WooCommerce
Your theme and apps have changed over the years, and you want a website ADA compliance audit before your busiest season.
Service businesses with booking forms
Your leads come through forms and booking widgets, and you need to know whether screen reader users can complete them.
Agencies and advisors managing client risk
Your clients ask whether their sites are at risk, and you need fast answers in words they understand.
Not a fit
Code-level fix notes
Your developers need every WCAG criterion documented with code-level fix notes. That's what WCAG Audit Services delivers.
Barriers fixed for you
You want the barriers fixed, not just found. Website Accessibility Remediation handles the code work, starting from this audit or any other.
Answering the letter
You need someone to answer the letter itself. We supply technical evidence, not legal advice or representation.
One bundled engagement
You'd rather hand off the audit, the fixes, and the statement together. ADA Website Compliance Services bundles all three in one engagement.
Not sure we're the right fit?
Send a two-line brief. We'll tell you honestly whether we're the right team.

Our website accessibility audit starts at $350 for one key journey of up to 5 pages. The Full Audit Report covers up to 12 templates for $700, and the Demand Letter Audit, with an evidence pack and a retest, is $1,050. Prices are fixed before testing starts.
Most reports arrive within 5 business days, and the Quick Audit takes 3. If you've received a demand letter, the Demand Letter Audit gets priority scheduling, so testing starts within 2 business days of your approval. We confirm the delivery date in writing before we begin.
An ADA website compliance audit covers keyboard and screen reader testing of your key journeys, plus automated scans. You get a report written for owners that ranks every barrier by risk. Each finding has a screenshot, the page, and the WCAG criterion it fails. You also get a fix plan with effort estimates and a dated record for your files.
Choose the ADA audit if you're an owner who wants risks ranked in everyday words, fast. Choose WCAG Audit Services if developers need every criterion documented with code-level fix notes and ticket files. Both use WCAG 2.2 AA as the benchmark. The difference is the depth of reporting and who reads it.
We start with the journeys that matter to your business, then test each one by keyboard, with NVDA and VoiceOver, and with automated scanners. Each barrier is checked against the AA criteria, ranked by risk, and written up with evidence. Scanners miss the judgment calls, so people do the testing.
Our checklist follows WCAG's four principles, translated for owners. Perceivable covers alt text, captions, and contrast. Operable covers keyboard access and focus. Understandable covers forms and error messages, and the fourth checks that your code works with screen readers. Findings are grouped under those headings, journey by journey.
Yes. Every audit includes keyboard-only testing and screen reader testing with NVDA (Windows) and VoiceOver (Mac). Those checks find the barriers customers actually hit, like menus that won't open or buttons with no name at all. Automated scans run alongside them, not instead of them.
Start with three free checks. Unplug your mouse and try to buy or book using only the keyboard. Run the free WAVE checker on your home, product, and contact pages. Then zoom your browser to 200% and look for overlapping text. Anything that fails deserves a professional look.
It can help, but only when you act on it. A dated audit report shows when you learned about the barriers, and a fix plan with progress shows you're addressing them. An unread report proves little, so we pair every audit with a practical fix plan you can start this month.
You get a walkthrough call, plus email answers for 30 days on any finding. If you want the barriers fixed, our remediation team can quote from your report the same week. The Demand Letter Audit also includes one retest of fixed issues within 60 days.
