In many countries, yes. The EU European Accessibility Act requires websites to be accessible. The US ADA has been interpreted to cover websites. Ireland, the UK, Canada, and Australia all have legislation requiring digital accessibility. Beyond legal compliance, accessible websites reach a wider audience and tend to have better SEO.

WCAG stands for Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, published by the W3C. It provides technical standards for making web content accessible to people with disabilities, including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, and neurological disabilities. WCAG 2.1 is the current recommended standard, with 2.2 being the latest version.

Our report provides specific guidance for each violation found, including the problematic HTML element, the WCAG success criterion it violates, and a plain-language explanation of how to fix it. Common fixes include adding alt text to images, ensuring sufficient colour contrast, providing form labels, and making all interactive elements keyboard-accessible.

Automated testing catches approximately 30-40% of accessibility issues. Manual testing is still necessary for things like logical reading order, meaningful content structure, and usability with assistive technologies. Our audit is an excellent starting point but should be complemented by manual review and user testing for full compliance.
