Frequently Asked Questions

What is a WCAG Accessibility Audit?

A WCAG accessibility audit is a systematic evaluation of a website or mobile application to determine whether it conforms to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). The audit process includes automated testing, manual verification, assistive technology testing, and other steps, and results in a detailed report containing a list of issues and remediation recommendations.

How long does website accessibility testing take?

Testing time depends on website size and complexity. A preliminary audit of a small site (10–20 pages) typically takes 1–3 days, while medium to large sites may take 1–2 weeks. This assistant can help you quickly assess scope and provide time estimates, and supports phased audits that prioritize critical user paths.

How does an accessibility audit differ from a general UI review?

An accessibility audit specifically focuses on the experience of users with disabilities, evaluating strictly against WCAG standards and covering specific technical requirements such as screen reader compatibility, keyboard navigation, and color contrast. A general UI review focuses more on visual design, interaction flow, and brand consistency and does not include the technical depth of accessibility compliance.
