Accessibility testing

Accessibility Testing Services in Colombia

Audits for Colombia against the standard that actually binds you there.

Where Colombia stands right now

Colombia's web accessibility guidelines date from 2020 and reference WCAG 2.1, which is newer than several European transpositions name.

They reach the public sector. If you sell to Colombians rather than to the Colombian state, the guidelines are the bar people will measure you against even where they do not bind you, which is a useful thing to know before a procurement asks.

So here is what we do about it. We work your Colombia site against all 55 WCAG 2.2 A and AA rules by hand, then a professional blind screen-reader user runs your real journeys while we record where they stop. WCAG 2.2 contains everything the standards above ask for, so one audit answers whichever of them reaches you. Every finding arrives with its screenshot and the fix that closes it.

What accessibility testing in Colombia covers

Start with the honest part. The audit is the same in Colombia as it is anywhere, because WCAG does not change at a border. What changes is which law is watching and what it costs to fail, and the section above settles that.

The work itself runs in three passes. A machine finds the failures a machine can prove. A human works every one of the 55 A and AA rules by hand. Then a professional blind screen-reader user opens your real journeys and tries to finish them, the way your customers would. Every finding arrives with its screenshot and the fix that closes it, drawn from our free library of 432 guides.

None of the reference sits behind a form, either. Every number below counts pages you can go and read right now, free, whether you ever buy an audit or not.

The honest limit

And an audit is evidence, not a legal opinion. We tell you what fails, who it stops, and what closes it. Whether that satisfies a regulator or a court in Colombia is a question for your lawyer, and we would rather say so than pretend otherwise.

Questions owners in Colombia ask us

Does the audit change because my site is in Colombia?

No. WCAG is the same standard everywhere, so the testing is identical wherever you are. What changes is which law is watching and what failing it costs, and that is what the law section on this page settles.

Which law applies to my site in Colombia?

Colombia guidelines is the one that reach Colombia first, and each has its own page here covering what it asks for, who it lands on, and how it gets enforced. Sell into more than one market and more than one of them can reach you at the same time.

Do I have to publish an accessibility statement in Colombia?

No law that reaches Colombia names one in our library, so nothing forces you to publish a statement. You can still publish one anyway, and our free generator will write it from what the audit found.

What does the audit cost, and how fast is the report?

A Rapid Audit is $499 for 10 pages, with the report in 5 business days. A Standard Audit is $1,499 for 25 pages in 10 business days. Once your team has fixed things, the re-audit is half price within 3 months.

Do you actually test with a blind user?

Yes, on every audit. A professional blind screen-reader user opens your real journeys and tries to finish them, and we write down where they stop. That is the pass no scanner can run.
