Accessibility Testing Services in Marche, Italy

Audits for Marche against the standard that actually binds you in Italy.

What Marche actually requires

Roughly 1,481,000 people live in Marche, one of Italy's 21 regions. Italy runs the Stanca Act nationally, with the European Accessibility Act over the top, and neither changes at a regional border. AgID's guidelines point at WCAG 2.1 AA everywhere in the country.

The region itself is inside the Stanca Act, and so are regional municipalised companies, which catches a lot of organizations that do not think of themselves as public bodies at all.

So here is what we do about it. We work your Marche 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 covers everything EN 301 549 asks for and more, so one audit answers the national rule and anything your region adds on top. Every finding arrives with its screenshot and the fix that closes it.

What we test, and how, in Marche

Start with the honest part. The audit is the same in Marche 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 Marche is a question for your lawyer, and we would rather say so than pretend otherwise.

What owners in Marche want to know first

Is accessibility testing in Marche different from anywhere else?

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.

Who sets the rules for a website in Marche?

Italy Stanca Act and EAA are the ones that reach Marche 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.

Does Marche expect a published accessibility statement?

At least one of the laws that reaches Marche names an accessibility statement, so plan on publishing one. Our free generator writes it from what the audit found, so the page says what actually works today rather than what you hope works.

How much is an audit, and when does the report land?

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.

Is a real screen-reader user involved, or just software?

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.
