How Far From Level AA Are You?

For the team that needs a size and a starting point this quarter, before it commits a budget to the work itself.

What We Keep Finding

Sometimes you do not need every finding documented yet. You need the size of the problem. Are we a week from Level AA or a season away, and what gets fixed first? That is a different question from the one an evidence pack answers, and it changes which pages you point an audit at rather than which audit you buy.

So a gap analysis is our standard audit with the page choice made for coverage instead of for proof. Instead of picking the ten pages you most need defensible evidence on, you pick the ten that between them use the most of your templates. Home, a listing page, a detail page, a form, the checkout, an account screen. The engine is identical, all 55 rules by hand plus the automated pass plus a blind screen-reader session, and what changes is that the findings come back describing your system rather than six specific URLs.

That works because most of what an audit finds is template-level. One header, one form pattern, one card component, repeated everywhere. So a finding on the listing template is a finding on 4,000 listing pages, and counting the templates is how you get an estimate a roadmap can actually hold. The report already ranks by user impact and marks which findings are systemic, which is the ordering a plan needs.

What We Check

  • Pick the pages that between them cover the most of your templates
  • Run the full three passes on them, machine, expert, and blind screen-reader user
  • Mark which findings are template-level and which belong to one page
  • Rank by user impact, so the worst blockers surface ahead of the quick clears
  • Name the journeys a follow-up audit should point at, if you take that step

What You Get

Every service on this site runs the same three-pass engine: an automated scan, an expert review of all 55 WCAG 2.2 A and AA rules, and a hands-on session with a professional blind screen-reader user. You get one report with every finding screenshotted, ranked by user impact, and linked to its fix. Your team fixes, we verify: the re-audit is half price within 3 months.

The format is not a mystery either. Read the sample report before you spend anything.

The Honest Limit

One honest limit, and it is the whole reason this is called an analysis rather than a certificate. It samples. Conformance in WCAG is defined for a web page and never for a website. W3C's own evaluation method then says in terms that a conformance claim cannot be made for a whole site on the strength of a selected sample of its pages. So what you get is a true account of the pages we opened and a well-founded read on the templates behind them. What you do not get, and cannot buy anywhere, is a number for the site as a whole. Treat the estimate as a planning figure and the findings as evidence, because that is what each of them is.

What It Costs

Rapid Audit: $499, up to 10 pages you pick, report in 5 business days. Standard Audit: $1,499, up to 25 pages in 10 business days. Flat rates, no discovery calls, and a real blind screen-reader user on every engagement. Pick your pages. We bring the humans.
