WCAG Audits and Accessibility Testing in Pesaro, Italy

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

Where Pesaro stands right now

Roughly 95,000 people live in Pesaro. Which accessibility rule reaches your website here is not decided by the city, though, and no council in Italy sets its own web standard. 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 Pesaro 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 the standard above asks for and more, 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 Pesaro covers

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

Questions owners in Pesaro ask us

Does the audit change because my site is in Pesaro?

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 Pesaro?

Italy Stanca Act and EAA are the ones that reach Pesaro 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 Pesaro?

At least one of the laws that reaches Pesaro 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.

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.
