Accessibility auditing
Around one in five people has a disability that affects how they use software - and if you serve the UK public sector, accessibility is a legal duty, not a preference. We audit the way real users experience your product, assistive technology included, and give you a prioritised route to compliance instead of a wall of red.

More people, less risk
Accessibility tends to get filed under compliance, but it is a market question too: a product that one in five people struggles with is turning users away at the door. The legal duty is real, especially in the public sector. The encouraging part is that most barriers are fixable once someone shows you where they are and which ones matter most.
How we audit
Automated scanners miss most of what stops a real person, so we do not stop there. We test manually and with the assistive technology your users rely on - screen readers first among them - then rank what we find by how badly it blocks someone and how hard it is to fix. Your developers get specific fixes, not a lecture.
- WCAG 2.2 and public-sector audits
- Screen-reader and assistive-tech testing
- Specific, developer-ready fixes
- Retesting once the fixes are in
The paperwork, handled
You also get what regulators and clients expect to see: a compliant accessibility statement and the evidence behind it. And if you would rather not do the remediation yourselves, we can make the fixes and retest until the issues are closed.
Frequently asked questions
- Which standards do you audit against?
- WCAG 2.2 AA in most cases, plus the UK public-sector accessibility regulations where they apply. We audit against the standard you are held to.
- Do you just hand us a list of problems?
- No - that is the failure mode we work hardest to avoid. Issues arrive ranked by user impact and effort, each with a concrete fix, so your team knows exactly where to start.
- Can you fix the issues, not just find them?
- Yes. We can remediate as well as audit, then retest to confirm everything is closed.
- Do you provide the accessibility statement?
- Yes - we draft the statement and assemble the supporting evidence, ready to publish.
