Accessibility audit · WCAG 2.2 AA · Fixed price
An accessibility audit done by hand, not by a scanner.
Automated tools catch roughly a third of WCAG failures. The rest — keyboard traps, focus order, screen-reader output, broken ARIA — only show up when a person drives the interface the way your users with disabilities actually do. That's the audit we run, and at the end of it you hold a VPAT your buyer's procurement team can accept.

How a manual WCAG 2.2 AA audit runs
Fixed scope, fixed price, and a written deliverable at the end of every step. You always know what happens next and what it costs.
One call, one number
We pick up to 15 representative screens or flows — the ones a plaintiff's expert or an enterprise buyer would look at first. You get a fixed price before we start, and we sign an NDA and MSA so legal is not the bottleneck.
Hands, keyboards, screen readers
Every screen is exercised with keyboard-only navigation and real assistive technology — NVDA, JAWS and VoiceOver — on top of automated passes. We test against WCAG 2.2 Level AA, the standard U.S. courts and the EAA both point to.
Findings your devs can ticket
Each finding is mapped to its WCAG success criterion, rated by severity, and written with reproduction steps and a concrete fix — so it can go straight into your tracker without a translation layer.
Proof you can hand over
We complete a VPAT (Voluntary Product Accessibility Template) written to survive procurement review, then retest after your fixes and sign off a statement of conformance.
What you receive
The deliverables, in order
Written so a founder can read page one and an engineer can work from page four.
- Executive summary — one page, written for the person who signs
- Scope and method, including what we deliberately didn't test
- Findings by severity, each mapped to its WCAG 2.2 criterion
- Reproduction steps, evidence and a concrete fix per finding
- A completed VPAT / Accessibility Conformance Report
- A remediation plan your team can execute, with or without us
- Retest after fixes, with a signed-off conformance statement
Who does the work
Senior engineers, not a scanning subscription
The person on your first call is the person reviewing your report. No junior hand-offs, no platform to keep paying for.
Deep senior bench
We recruit from one of the deepest pools of senior QA and SDET talent outside the U.S. Everyone on your account is senior enough to argue with your engineers about whether a finding is really a failure.
No lock-in
Everything we produce — findings, fixes, the VPAT itself — is yours. There's no platform of ours to keep paying for and nothing to migrate off if you stop working with us.
Time zone as a feature
Warsaw is nine hours ahead of Pacific time. Findings land in your tracker overnight, with a guaranteed 08:00–12:00 PT overlap window for anything that needs a conversation.
Before you ask
Common questions about the audit
Why not just run an automated scanner?
Automated tools reliably detect only a minority of WCAG failures — the ones expressible as markup rules. They can't tell you whether your focus order makes sense, whether a modal traps the keyboard, or what a screen reader actually announces on your checkout. Those are exactly the issues that show up in demand letters, and they only surface in manual testing with assistive technology. We run automated passes too — as a baseline, not as the audit.
What is a VPAT and when do I need one?
A VPAT (Voluntary Product Accessibility Template) is the standard document enterprise buyers, government agencies and procurement teams ask for to evaluate your product's accessibility. The completed document is called an ACR. If an RFP or security review has ever asked about your accessibility posture, a properly written VPAT is what answers it. We complete it as part of the audit.
Does the European Accessibility Act apply to us?
If you sell products or services into the EU, very likely yes — the EAA has applied since June 2025 and covers many non-EU companies selling to EU customers. It points to the same WCAG 2.x Level AA baseline as U.S. case law, so one audit covers both directions.
Can you fix the issues for us?
The remediation plan is written so your own developers can execute it directly — most teams do. If you'd rather have us verify or implement fixes alongside your team, that's a separate scope we can quote after the audit.
How do contracts and payment work?
We're an EU company and invoice in USD — payment by wire or Wise, typically settled in one to three business days. Contracts are an MSA plus a per-project SOW, with a mutual NDA and a GDPR data processing addendum, and we'll sign under Delaware law if your legal team prefers it. You'll get a completed W-8BEN-E for your records.
Next step
Fifteen minutes, and you'll know where you stand
Tell us what's coming — a demand letter, an RFP asking for a VPAT, an enterprise deal — and we'll tell you what we'd test first and what it would cost. If a scanner is all you need, we'll say so on the call.
