Severity priority

Issues are grouped by practical impact so teams know what needs attention first.

Evidence and context

Screenshots, affected pages, and testing context help teams understand each finding.

WCAG mapping

WCAG principles and issue mapping

The audit is organized around practical accessibility concepts so teams can understand why an issue matters, where it appears, and what kind of remediation may be needed.

The goal is not to claim certification. The goal is to provide clear technical observations that help teams plan accessibility improvements.

View Accessibility Audit Sample Report
Perceivable

Can users access content through text, visuals, structure, audio, or assistive technology?

Operable

Can users navigate and interact with controls, forms, menus, and flows without unnecessary barriers?

Understandable

Are instructions, labels, navigation, form errors, and user flows clear enough to understand?

Robust

Does the website use markup and structure that can work reliably with assistive technologies?

Example issue mapping format

Observed issue Area Severity Example remediation direction
Button has no accessible name Screen reader support High Add a clear accessible label or visible text.
Modal traps keyboard focus Keyboard access High Fix focus management and escape behavior.
Low contrast CTA text Visual accessibility Medium Adjust text and background contrast.
Error text is not associated with input Forms Medium Connect error message with the relevant input.

Audit approach

Automated checks help. Manual WCAG review adds context.

Automated tools can help find issues, but they cannot fully judge context, usability, keyboard flow, or every assistive technology concern.

Automated accessibility checks

Automated checks are useful for quickly finding many common detectable issues, but they do not fully judge context or interaction quality.

  • Fast and repeatable
  • Good for common issues
  • Useful before deeper review
  • Helpful for monitoring changes

Manual WCAG review

Manual review adds context around keyboard flow, modals, forms, real user paths, severity, and remediation priority.

  • Human interaction review
  • Better issue context
  • Useful for developers
  • Stronger remediation planning
