WCAG 2.1 AA Audit Service
Every success criterion scored. Every failure documented with a screenshot and a code reference.
A one-time deep accessibility audit of your website — manual review plus automated scanning — that produces a per-criterion score, prioritized fix list, and a remediation roadmap your developer (ours or yours) can act on the same week.
One accountable partner, fast decisions, and a premium result that looks expensive and feels simple. We confirm scope, build fast, and ship.
The audit package, in detail
A WCAG 2.1 AA audit is a one-time, focused deep-dive on your site. Unlike weekly monitoring, an audit produces a single, dated, signed-off document — the kind of thing you reference in an RFP response, attach to an insurance application, or hand to counsel.
We score every applicable success criterion: 1.1.1 Non-text Content, 1.4.3 Contrast (Minimum), 2.1.1 Keyboard, 2.4.7 Focus Visible, 3.3.2 Labels or Instructions, 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value — the full Level A + Level AA set. Each gets Pass, Fail, Partial, or Not Applicable with evidence: screenshot, code reference, or recorded screen-reader pass.
The deliverable is split into three documents: (1) the audit report (technical, for your developer), (2) the remediation roadmap (prioritized by impact + effort), and (3) the executive summary (one page, plain English, for owners and counsel). The roadmap is the most-read piece — it answers "what do I fix first, this week?" instead of dumping 200 issues without priority.
We do not issue a "compliance opinion" or claim your site is "lawsuit-proof." Those are legal determinations only your counsel can make — and any agency that hands you one of those without a JD attached is selling you certainty they cannot deliver. What our audit gives you is the technical baseline against which your counsel can form their own opinion.
Typical timeline: 7–10 business days from kickoff to delivery for a single-domain SMB site. Larger / multi-domain / e-commerce sites take longer. We send a fixed quote up front so there's no scope creep.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is an audit different from monitoring?
An audit is a one-time, deep, signed-off document at a fixed price. Monitoring is recurring, lightweight scans on a weekly cadence. Most clients start with an audit (to set the baseline) and roll into monitoring (to watch for drift). Both are informational, not compliance opinions.
Do you also remediate, or just report?
Both are available as separate engagements. The audit hands off a fix list. We can implement those fixes, your existing developer can, or we can coach a DIY fix. Unbundled so you only pay for what you need.
What about Level AAA?
Most U.S. legal and procurement frameworks reference WCAG 2.1 Level AA, not AAA. Level AAA is a higher bar that's appropriate in some niches (healthcare, gov) but uncommon for SMBs. We can audit AAA on request, but our default scope is AA.
How much does an audit cost?
Small single-page sites: $497–$997. Standard 5–15-page SMB sites: $1,500–$3,500. Large or e-commerce sites: $5,000+. Request a fixed quote.
Will the audit make my site "ADA compliant"?
No tool, audit, or service can guarantee ADA compliance — that's a legal status determined by courts. The audit shows you the technical baseline against WCAG 2.1 AA. Your counsel decides whether that baseline plus your other policies and procedures constitutes good-faith compliance.
