Diagnose WCAG errors before they become a problem
What is a website accessibility audit according to WCAG?
WCAG audit is a process where we combine automated tests using online tools with expert analysis conducted by a qualified developer.
First, we use professional tools to assess the accessibility of websites. Then, each result is verified by a developer, who checks whether the reported errors have an actual impact on accessibility and how they can be fixed.
The result is a clear report – without jargon and long tables, but with clearly described errors, their impact, and how to fix them.
What does an accessibility audit
not include?
A WCAG audit is not a certification and does not constitute formal confirmation of compliance. It also does not guarantee the full implementation of all WCAG 2.1 principles, as many errors arise from the very structure or technology of the site.
Our goal is a reliable diagnosis that indicates which elements can be improved in the current layout and which require deeper changes. An audit is not an official document, but a technical reportthat genuinely helps the site to align with the legislator’s requirements.
Thus, you know what improvements to implement with your developer to ensure that the site meets the obligations imposed by the digital accessibility law.
Check if your site is really accessible to everyone
Perform an
accessibility audit
Discover the real level of compliance of your site and identify the main issues. We’ll analyze your website using automated tests and expert developer verification:
- Tool tests and result analysis – we use various tools and emulators to simulate visits of different user groups.
- Verification by specialist – each automated error is manually checked by a developer who evaluates its impact on real accessibility.
- Action priorities – we classify issues according to their importance and impact on the user, and compliance with WCAG 2.1 AA.
- Implementation recommendations – we present specific ways to fix errors in code, content, and visual elements.
- Final report – a clear document describing errors, level of compliance, and a ready template for a self-generated accessibility declaration.
Why is it worth conducting a WCAG audit with us?
An audit that speaks the programmer’s language
Our reports are created by practitioners in website development. Every result of the automated test is interpreted by a developer who indicates recommendations for first priority implementation.
Analysis supported by experience
We have been building websites for 17 years. We combine automated tests with manual and UX analyses to catch errors that tools cannot identify.
Report ready
for implementation
We present audit results in a clear report with a list of priorities, error descriptions, and a ready accessibility declaration template.
Open your website’s doors to all users
Let everyone feel welcome on your site
Every user should have equal opportunities to use your website. Without barriers, errors, and frustration. Our WCAG audit will show which elements hinder accessibility and how to improve them, so that after your changes the site complies with the digital accessibility law.

What is the difference between WCAG 2.1 and WCAG 2.2?
WCAG 2.1 is a set of principles developed in 2018, which expanded the previous version 2.0 with mobile aspects and improvements for people with visual impairments and cognitive difficulties.

How does Avangardou005cu0027s audit differ from online automated tests?
