The short answer for North Jeolla

Roughly 1,752,000 people live in North Jeolla, one of South Korea's 17 first-level divisions and a special self-governing province. Which accessibility rule reaches your website here is not decided at that level, though. South Korea holds sites to KWCAG, a national standard aligned with WCAG, phased in since 2009.

Discrimination claims carry damages, and certification pressure does the rest, because Korean organizations are routinely asked to prove accessibility rather than simply assert it. As a special self-governing province, North Jeolla sits above its own cities and counties, and the standard does not change as you go down through them. One rule, applied the whole way.

So here is what we do about it. We work your North Jeolla 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. What comes back is the proof, every failing rule with its screenshot and its fix, ordered by user impact.

Inside an audit for a site in North Jeolla

Start with the honest part. The audit is the same in North Jeolla 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.

A and AA rules we check: 55
Techniques and failures: 432

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 North Jeolla is a question for your lawyer, and we would rather say so than pretend otherwise.

Straight answers for North Jeolla

My site is in North Jeolla. Does that change what you test?

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.

What law am I actually answering to in North Jeolla?

South Korea is the one that reach North Jeolla 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.

Should I be publishing an accessibility statement here?

No law that reaches North Jeolla 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 am I paying, and what turnaround do I get?

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.

Who does the human half of the testing?

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.
