Our Accessibility Testing Process
Our proven process for delivering superior accessibility testing consultancy ensures your products meet WCAG standards:
1
Initial Planning
We begin by developing a tailored plan for assessing your platform’s digital assets, documents, and artifacts. This ensures we focus on critical areas, aligning with standards like WCAG 2.1 and Section 508. Our planning phase defines the scope of testing, sets priorities, and ensures a comprehensive approach to identifying accessibility issues.
2
Manual Testing
Our experts perform in-depth manual tests using various assistive technologies. For example, we use NVDA and JAWS screen readers to ensure content is properly conveyed to visually impaired users. We also test keyboard navigation to verify that all interactive elements are operable without a mouse.
3
User Testing
To complement our manual testing, we use automated testing tools that can quickly analyze large portions of your digital product. These tools help identify common accessibility issues such as missing alt text, poor color contrast, and improper HTML structure. Automated testing ensures thorough coverage, catching potential errors in high-traffic areas of your platform that may be overlooked in manual assessments.
4
Compliance Evaluation
We meticulously assess your product against relevant accessibility standards, including WCAG 2.1 and Section 508 requirements. This involves checking each success criterion, such as ensuring sufficient color contrast (1.4.3) or providing visible focus indicators (2.4.7).
5
Detailed Reporting
We provide a comprehensive report outlining all identified issues, their severity, and specific recommendations for remediation. Our reports include screenshots, code snippets, and step-by-step instructions for reproducing and fixing each issue, making it easier for your development team to implement solutions.
6
Remediation Support
Our team provides the remediation, offers guidance and retesting services to ensure all accessibility issues are properly addressed. We can work directly with your developers to explain complex issues, suggest coding solutions, and verify fixes. We also provide training sessions to help your team build accessibility knowledge for future projects.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are accessibility testing services?
Accessibility testing services evaluate digital products and platforms such as hardware, websites, mobile apps, software, files, PDFs, and artifacts to ensure they meet accessibility standards like WCAG 2.1, enabling people with disabilities to effectively use and interact with them.
How long does the accessibility testing process take?
The duration of the accessibility testing process can vary depending on the size and complexity of your platform. For a standard website or application, the process typically takes between 2 to 4 weeks from the initial audit to the final report. However, larger platforms or those with complex interactive elements may require additional time. We also consider the scope of testing, such as whether you’re focusing on specific features or a full compliance audit. Once the issues are identified, post-remediation testing may take an additional 1-2 weeks to verify all problems have been successfully resolved.
How much does accessibility testing cost?
The cost of accessibility testing depends on several factors, including the size of the product or platform, the depth of testing required, and the complexity of features being tested. For example, a basic audit of a small website may start at around $5,000, while more comprehensive testing for larger, more complex platforms can range from $10,000 to $30,000 or more. Costs may also vary depending on whether you require ongoing compliance monitoring or consultation services post-testing. We offer tailored solutions to meet your specific needs and budget, ensuring you get the best value for achieving and maintaining accessibility compliance.
What happens after accessibility issues are found?
After identifying accessibility issues, we provide a detailed action plan to resolve these problems, followed by post-remediation testing to ensure compliance.
How often should I conduct accessibility testing on my digital products?
We recommend regular testing, especially after major updates or at least annually. With web technologies evolving rapidly, 40% of websites fall out of compliance within 6 months of their last audit.
Can you test mobile applications for accessibility?
Absolutely. Our services cover both web and mobile applications across various platforms and devices. Mobile accessibility is crucial, as 62% of users with disabilities primarily access the internet via mobile devices.
What is the difference between ADA testing and accessibility testing?
ADA testing refers to testing specifically for compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, which covers public accommodations and websites, while accessibility testing is a broader term that includes testing for compliance with international standards like WCAG and Section 508, in addition to ADA guidelines.
