Mobile Accessibility Audits

Mobile AccessibilityThat Reaches Everyone

Mobile accessibility is an essential aspect of creating fully accessible websites. It ensures a comfortable user experience for individuals with disabilities when using mobile devices, such as phones and smartphones. This type of accessibility addresses challenges related to touch screens, small display sizes, zoom functionality, pull-out menus, and more.

According to WCAG 2.1, a standard recognized in Europe, websites must support Reflow – meaning all content should fit within screens as small as 320 CSS pixels without requiring two-dimensional scrolling. Responsive websites naturally meet this requirement when implemented correctly, providing a more accessible mobile experience.

Why Accessibility Testing Matters – Including Mobile, Especially in Europe

Compliance with European digital regulations requires accessibility testing not only for websites but also for mobile applications. Both must adhere to standards such as EAA, EN 301 549, and WCAG AA. These include considerations for touch interfaces, zoom functionality, and navigation adapted for small screens.

Avoiding Significant Fines on Mobile

European laws apply equally to mobile user experiences. In many cases, penalties for non-compliance on mobile channels are the same as those for desktop pages.

Enhancing User Experience and Boosting SEO

Responsive and accessible websites provide a seamless browsing experience – particularly when using zoom – resulting in higher search rankings and improved user satisfaction.

Map the Unique Mobile Templates

Identify key mobile UI elements (buttons, menus, forms, galleries, star icons, etc.) to define the testing scope across various touchscreens and screen sizes.

Perform Accessibility Tests on All Mobile Templates

Run an automated diagnostic scan optimized for smartphones and tablets. This includes contrast checks, button size validation (minimum 60px), reflow, 200% zoom, and media alternatives.

Fix Defects Identified During Testing

Send findings to developers for remediation: adapt ARIA for mobile, enlarge touch targets, correct content order, adjust screen tags, and more.

Conduct Retesting After Fixes

Perform additional QA on mobile devices: touchscreen testing, keyboard navigation (e.g., TalkBack/VoiceOver), zoom, and reflow to confirm that all issues have been resolved

Train Content Managers on Responsive Accessibility

Provide clear guidelines on uploading branded images, adding subtitles to videos, applying ARIA for forms, and creating sufficiently large buttons (≥44–60px).

Add a Mobile-Friendly Accessibility Statement Page

Create a dedicated mobile page outlining tested accessibility features such as button size, touch response, zoom functionality, and refresh options. Include contact information for reporting accessibility issues.
