Web Accessibility Audits

Website Accessibility Testing

Web accessibility refers to designing and developing websites so they can be perceived, understood, navigated, and used by everyone – including individuals with visual, auditory, motor, or cognitive disabilities. This process follows international standards, such as WCAG 2.2, to ensure equal access and a seamless experience for all users.

Why Is It Important

to perform website
accessibility testing

– in European companies

Compliance with European Regulations – EAA, EN 301 549, and WCAG AA

The European Accessibility Act (EAA), effective June 28, 2025, requires companies providing digital services in Europe to comply with WCAG 2.1/2.2 Level AA and the EN 301 549 standard. Ensuring compliance through expert accessibility testing helps you meet regulatory requirements and avoid increased legal and financial exposure.

Risk prevention and significant financial savings

European countries impose extensive fines for non-compliance:

  • Germany – up to €500,000
  • France – up to €250,000 (with public announcement of the offender)
  • Spain – up to €300,000

Business opportunity and growth in the European market

Beyond the advantage of maintaining a standard, accessibility testing allows:

  • Expanding the target audience: 87 million Europeans with disabilities, who use accessible systems, constitute a huge market potential.
  • Opening possibilities for collaboration: Compliance with regulations increases credibility with customers, investors and regulatory bodies in the European Union.
  • Improving user experience and SEO: Tools such as alt-text and accessible navigation contribute to search engine rankings.

An accessibility audit is a professional assessment that determines whether your website complies with standards such as WCAG 2.1/2.2 Level AA and relevant accessibility laws (such as the EAA in Europe). The audit includes automated scanning, manual testing with screen readers and keyboard navigation, and checks that go beyond legal and regulatory compliance.
No. Automated scans (using tools like Axe, WAVE, or Lighthouse) only identify some technical issues. Many violations - such as screen reader compatibility, ARIA structures, and complex navigation - require professional manual testing.
The manual review process includes:
  • Keyboard navigation testing (Tab, Shift+Tab, and focus trapping)
  • Screen reader testing (using NVDA, VoiceOver) to verify tags, content order, and functionality)
  • Zoom testing (at 200%) for users with visual impairments)
  • Form, title, ARIA, and media checks (including subtitles and alternatives))
  • Color contrast testing to ensure text and background contrast meet accessibility standards for users with low vision or color blindness
At the end of the process, you will receive a final report that includes:
  • A summary of compliance with accessibility standards (e.g., WCAG 2.2 AA)
  • An official Accessibility Conformance Statement
  • In some cases, a VPAT (Voluntary Product Accessibility Template) or an official compliance certificate for Europe/Israel, which is often required for tenders or regulatory submissions
  • Significant administrative fines: One-time penalties of €5,000–€20,000 per violation. In some countries, such as Germany, fines can reach €100,000 per issue.
  • Activity and market restrictions: Your site may be removed from the market, and services could be blocked by enforcement authorities.
  • Individual and societal enforcement: Legal action, reputational damage, and lost business opportunities.
  • Economic savings: Compliance prevents costly fines, retroactive fixes, and lawsuits.
  • Market access: Enables legal and unrestricted business in the European Union.
  • Positive branding: Demonstrates professionalism, responsibility, and commitment to DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion).
  • Business opportunities: Opens access to tenders and government contracts that require accessible websites.
An accessibility statement is a document or dedicated webpage where website owners declare the site’s accessibility level, their commitment to accessibility, what has been tested, and what improvements are planned. It is essential for transparency with users and for compliance with international standards and legal requirements.
  • Accessibility commitment: A clear statement that the organization is committed to providing equal access for all users, including people with disabilities.
  • Tested standards: Specification of standards such as WCAG 2.2 Level AA, EN 301 549, or EAA norms.
  • Known limitations: Details of existing accessibility issues and plans for remediation.
  • Contact and feedback options: Email, form, or phone number for users to report issues.
  • Technical information: Supported browsers, screen readers, and tested features (navigation, zoom, ARIA, etc.).
  • Last updated date: To build trust and show that accessibility is an ongoing process.
