Website Accessibility Audit
In order to give the best experience to as many users as possible on your website, you should ensure everyone can easily use your site, including those with auditory, visual motor, cognitive, and other disabilities.
Features like keyboard navigation, clear links and text, high-contrast design, and alternate descriptions for images and links that can be read with a screen reader are just a few ways to make your website accessible.
With our accessibility optimization service, we’ll audit your site to find areas that could improve your site accessibility, and implement website updates to ensure compliance and usability.

Making your website accessible is good for your users and good for your business. About 20% of the current population has some form of disability. By removing roadblocks for these potential customers, you not only help these users, you also open your website up to a larger audience to help you achieve your marketing goals.
An accessible website will also help your business to avoid potential legal ramifications. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires many businesses to make accommodations for people with disabilities. Web content should be accessible to blind users, deaf users and those who must navigate by voice, screen readers or other assistive technologies.
Evidence also suggests that accessibility supports high SEO rankings, and search engines may favor pages with strong accessibility features.
To check your website for accessibility compliance, we follow the standards set by the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), developed through the W3C process in cooperation with individuals and organizations around the world, with a goal of providing a single shared standard for web content accessibility that meets the needs of individuals, organizations, and governments internationally.
We audit your site for compliance with the following WCAG principles:
- Perceivability: Users must be able to perceive the information using one of their senses.
- Operability: A user must be able to perform any interaction that the website requires, regardless of how they’re accessing the website.
- Understandability: The text content on the page is easily readable and the user interface is consistent across pages and provides the user with appropriate cues.
- Robustness: The content must be developed using well-adopted web standards that will work across different browsers and assistive technologies, now and in the future.
After completing the accessibility audit, we will provide a report of the issues we find, as well as our recommendations for fixing them. The report will include a quote for the development and/or design work that we recommend to achieve accessibility compliance.
- We will audit your website using our accessibility compliance checklist that consists of 40 points, based on the WCAG standard, common search engine accessibility checkpoints, and User Experience (UX) best practices.
- Based on the findings of this audit, we will compile a report of issues that we believe should be addressed, as well as our recommendations for doing so.
- Along with the audit report, we will provide a quote for the development and/or design work that will be required to implement the recommendations on your website.
- The recommended work can be completed as a one-time, stand-alone project, or implemented over a period of time, as part of an existing or new development retainer package. We may recommend a particular option, depending on your overall marketing and business goals.
- This service is for a website audit only. Any work required to fix the issues found during the audit will be quoted as a separate project. The quote for the recommended work will be included in the audit report, and the client will need to approve the quote before any work is done on the website.
- We require full admin access to your website, as well as hosting access, in order to be able to provide the post-audit quote for recommended development work.
- While we believe that our accessibility recommendations will meet the requirement of reasonable accessibility measures for most businesses, Marketeering Group does not guarantee legal compliance with the ADA or any other guidelines.
- Is this a WordPress website?
- If not, we may be able to do a modified audit and edit plan, depending on the case, but the project will need to be evaluated separately.
- Will we be given full admin access to the website and to the hosting environment?
- Without access, we cannot provide an accurate quote for any recommendations that come from the audit.
