A WCAG 2.1, 2.2 accessibility audit is a process of evaluation of a website and its digital assets based on the global compliance standard one needs to achieve and providing guidelines to remediate those issues.

To bring the best value to your overall website accessibility, the blend of automated and manual web accessibility audit should be used.

It is essential for regulated sectors like healthcare, finance, education, government, and ecommerce where accessibility barriers can impact users directly and lead to legal risks. This commitment extends to ensure that all digital content, including websites, PDFs, documents, and other digital assets, is accessible to everyone, regardless of any disabilities they may have.

A WCAG accessibility audit report includes accessibility audit and evaluation process, initial evaluation result, failed guidelines, and actions taken to remediate issues. Here’s a sample accessibility audit report.

The best approach depends on the size of business and the resources available:

• Large Companies/Corporations with in-house design, development, and QA teams should conduct a manual WCAG accessibility audit of their website. Identified issues should be remediated in alignment with the WCAG 2.2 Level AA standards, ensuring ongoing accessibility compliance.
• Small and Medium-Sized Businesses (SMBs) that may not have dedicated accessibility resources in their IT teams should consider partnering with a digital accessibility solution provider such as Skynet Technologies. These providers can perform manual audits, implement accessibility remediation, VPAT / ACR, and offer continuous support and compliance management to help mitigate WCAG related risks.

To address website accessibility complaints, take the following steps:

1. First step is to understand the nature and source of the complaint, like complain is for what (for a specific feature, page, or content) and from whom (a user with a disability, an accessibility advocate, an organization, or a regulator)?
2. Respond to the complaint as soon as possible and express your commitment to digital accessibility and inclusion.
3. Prioritize and fix accessibility barriers as quickly and effectively as you can or contact website accessibility audit service provider.
4. Once fixed accessibility issues communicate progress with the who filed complaint.
5. Regularly evaluate, monitor, and maintain accessibility standards, policies, processes, and practices.

Organizations and businesses can be fined up to $75,000 for their first violation of the ADA law, and $150,000 for their subsequent violations.

Manual accessibility audits typically involve a combination of tools and techniques, including:

• Assistive technologies such as screen readers, keyboard-only navigation, and screen magnifiers to replicate real user experiences.
• Browser developer tools to inspect and debug HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for accessibility issues.
• Code validators and accessibility checkers to identify errors in structure, semantics, and compliance with WCAG standards.

This approach ensures that both the technical code quality and the user experience are thoroughly evaluated.

Yes. Along with the report, we provide clear remediation guidance for your development team. We also offer accessibility repair services if you prefer us to handle the fixes directly.

Manual WCAG accessibility testing is essential because automated tools can only detect around 30% of accessibility issues. They may provide false positive or false negative results. Many complex barriers - such as screen reader behavior, keyboard navigation, logical content order, and interactive element usability - require human evaluation with assistive technologies. Without manual testing, businesses risk missing critical issues that affect real users, leaving websites non-compliant with WCAG, ADA, EAA, Section 508, and other accessibility regulations. A comprehensive manual accessibility audit thoroughly examines the entire website for compliance gaps and provides a clear roadmap for WCAG 2.1, 2.2 remediation.

• During or after completing website development / revamp, one should perform a manual WCAG 2.1, 2.2 accessibility audit to achieve compliance.
• When a lawsuit has been filed or a business wants to ensure digital accessibility.
• If one or more users, particularly employees with disabilities, are experiencing difficulties accessing certain information on the website.

Yes, in case of an accessibility-related lawsuit, a manual (human) website audit is strongly recommended.

WCAG 2.2 AA level web accessibility audit assesses a website's compliance according to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at the AA conformance level. This audit evaluates the website, covering criteria such as perceivable content, operable interfaces, understandable information, and robust technology to ensure it is accessible to people with disabilities.

The time required for a manual audit depends on factors such as the size and complexity of the website, the level of accessibility expertise available, and the thoroughness of the audit. Smaller websites may take a few days, while larger or more complex sites could take weeks. For more information, reach out [email protected].
