WCAG Audits and Accessibility Testing in Santa Cruz, Argentina

Audits for Santa Cruz against the standard that actually binds you in Argentina.

What Santa Cruz actually requires

Roughly 337,000 people live in Santa Cruz, one of Argentina's 24 provinces. Ley 26.653 reaches the Argentine national public sector and references WCAG 2.0. It is a national statute, so it does not change from one province to the next.

A provincial government may add its own requirements on top, and this page does not guess at whether yours has. What it can say is that WCAG is the yardstick the Argentine state has been measured against since 2010.

So here is what we do about it. We work your Santa Cruz 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 we test, and how, in Santa Cruz

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

What owners in Santa Cruz want to know first

Is accessibility testing in Santa Cruz 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 Santa Cruz?

Argentina Ley 26.653 is the one that reach Santa Cruz 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 Santa Cruz expect a published accessibility statement?

No law that reaches Santa Cruz 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.

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.
