Accessibility Testing Services in Medina, Saudi Arabia

Audits for Medina against the standard that actually binds you in Saudi Arabia.

Where Medina stands right now

Roughly 2,389,000 people live in Medina, one of Saudi Arabia's 13 regions. Saudi Arabia names WCAG 2.1 Level AA through its Web Accessibility Standards, nationally, and our source records the obligation as reaching both the public and the private sector.

The region does not change the standard. What it changes is who is doing the asking, because a regional authority procuring a digital service will want the same evidence a ministry would.

So here is what we do about it. We work your Medina 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 standard above asks for, so one audit answers it with room to spare. Every finding arrives with its screenshot and the fix that closes it.

What accessibility testing in Medina covers

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

Questions owners in Medina ask us

Does the audit change because my site is in Medina?

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 Medina?

Saudi SWA is the one that reach Medina 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 Medina?

No law that reaches Medina 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.
