Accessibility audit: a WCAG 2.2 AA report your lawyer and your developer can both use.

• Every template scanned

  An axe-core scan of every template against WCAG 2.2 Level A and AA.

• A keyboard walk of each template

  Tab order, visible focus, focus not hidden behind sticky bars or pop-ups, and no keyboard traps, through the menus, drawers, modal windows, cart, product options and forms, and whether Escape closes what it opened.

• What assistive technology gets

  The name, role, state and value each control exposes to assistive technology, plus headings, landmarks, form labels, error messages and whether cart updates are announced.

• Contrast

  Text against its background, including text over images.

• Reflow, zoom and text spacing

  Each template at 320 CSS pixels wide, at 200% zoom and with wider text spacing.

• Target size

  Controls too small to tap without enough space around them.

• Alt text

  Whether alt text is meaningful: whether it says what the image shows, not only whether it is there.

• Page titles and language

  Page titles, and whether each page declares its language.

• Each finding is mapped to its WCAG 2.2 success criterion, with its severity, the page, the element and the fix.
• For Shopify stores, findings are grouped by template and theme section, so your developer, or our remediation work, can go straight to the code.
• On other platforms the report names the page, the element and the fix for your developer.

For the theme as a whole, read our public accessibility review of Shopify’s Dawn theme.

• A certificate of conformance
• Pages behind a login, and your checkout

1. 1

   You ask

   Use the form above or email us your site address, roughly how many templates it has (home, product, listing, cart, content and form pages) and any deadline.

2. 2

   We reply with the price and the date

   By email, before you pay: which price applies and the date the report will arrive.

3. 3

   You pay the invoice

   An invoice in US dollars with a payment link. The audit starts when payment arrives.

4. 4

   We audit your public pages

   We test what the public can reach and never log in. A password protected store can lift its password for the audit. Nothing on your site changes.

5. 5

   You get the report

   A dated report, usually 5 business days from payment, with every finding mapped to WCAG 2.2.

6. 6

   Fix, then ask for the retest

   Fix with your developer, the app, or our remediation, with the audit fee credited if you order it within 30 days. Then tell us what you fixed, within 60 days of the report, and we retest those items once.

Is this an ADA compliance audit?

It is what most people mean by an ADA website compliance audit: a check of your site against WCAG 2.2 AA. The ADA has no technical standard of its own: the Department of Justice points to WCAG as helpful guidance, and demand letters and settlements commonly cite it. The report tells you what fails and how to fix it. It cannot tell you whether your site meets the ADA, and it is not legal advice.

How much does an accessibility audit cost?

Ours is a fixed price, whether you call it a website accessibility audit, a WCAG audit or an ADA compliance website audit: $950 for a site with up to 15 templates and $1,500 for 16 to 40 templates, each with one retest included. A site with more than 40 templates is quoted by email before any invoice. Elsewhere, prices depend on the pages in scope, the testing method, the deliverables and the retests, so compare what is tested, not only the price. Our guide to accessibility audit costs explains what to ask.

What is the difference between an audit and compliance?

An audit is a dated measurement: what fails against WCAG 2.2 AA, where, and how to fix it. Compliance is a legal question, whether your site meets a law such as the ADA, which your lawyer can advise on. An audit gives you the list to fix and a record of what was found. This is not legal advice.

Does the ADA apply to websites?

The US Department of Justice says the ADA’s requirements apply to the goods and services that businesses open to the public offer on the web. That is from its Guidance on Web Accessibility and the ADA, published in March 2022, which points to WCAG as helpful guidance and sets no detailed technical standard for businesses. How it applies to your business depends on your facts. This is not legal advice.

How do you audit a website?

We count your templates, run an axe-core scan of each, and walk each one by keyboard in a real browser, reading the name, role, state and value each control exposes to assistive technology. We check contrast, including text over images, reflow at 320 CSS pixels, 200% zoom, text spacing, target size, alt text, page titles and the page language. Vijay, the founder, reviews every finding before the report goes out.

What do I get?

A dated report you can share with your lawyer or developer. Every finding has its WCAG 2.2 success criterion, severity, page, element and fix. For Shopify stores, findings are grouped by template and theme section; on other platforms the report names the page, the element and the fix.

Is a retest included?

Yes, one. When you have fixed what the audit found, tell us within 60 days of the report and we retest those items and send you a dated addendum.

Do you fix what you find?

The audit changes nothing on your site. Fix the findings yourself or with your developer. On Shopify, the AccessComply app, a separate product billed through Shopify, writes many of the fixes once you approve them, and our remediation service makes them for you, with the full audit fee credited if you order it within 30 days of the report.

Can we talk on the phone?

We work by email only, at support@accesscomply.com, so every answer you get is in writing and you can forward it to your lawyer or developer.
