Websites & Web Applications
Pages, templates, components, user journeys, forms, and interactive experiences.
Audits and VPATs/ACRs
Understand where you are.
Find accessibility barriers, understand their impact, and give your team practical guidance for what to do next.
Human-led accessibility evaluation
Testing that goes beyond automated checks
C4AT accessibility audits combine expert manual testing, assistive technology, accessibility standards, and human judgment to identify barriers that automated tools alone cannot find.
Automated testing supports our work. It doesn't replace human evaluation.
What We Test
Mobile Experiences
Responsive websites and, when included in scope, mobile applications.
Components & Design Systems
Reusable interface patterns before accessibility problems spread across a product.
Documents & Content
Documents and content that are part of important user journeys when included in scope.
How We Test
We evaluate against WCAG 2.2 Level A and AA and apply accessibility best practices and human judgment to identify barriers that standards alone may not fully describe. Some of our main areas of focus are:
Keyboard
Can everything be reached, operated, and understood without a mouse?
Screen Readers
We test with technologies such as JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver when appropriate to the scope.
Magnification & Visual Access
We examine zoom, reflow, contrast, text enlargement, focus visibility, and other visual access considerations.
Voice & Alternative Input
We evaluate experiences where voice input and other interaction methods are relevant.
Code & Interaction
We inspect structure, semantics, accessible names, states, relationships, components, and interaction behavior.
Standards. Best practices. Lived experience.
How an Audit Works
We don't just tell you what's wrong. We help you understand what to do next.
Audit Deliverables
Depending on the scope of the engagement, an audit can include:
Clear Findings
What the accessibility issue is and where it occurs.
Evidence
Screenshots, video, code examples, or other supporting information when useful.
Impact
How the issue can affect people with disabilities.
Standards
Relevant WCAG success criteria and other applicable accessibility requirements.
Priority
Guidance to help your team understand which issues need attention first.
Remediation Guidance
Practical recommendations for addressing identified barriers.
VPATs and ACRs
When included in scope, documentation of product conformance using the appropriate Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) to produce an Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR).
Scope That Fits Your Work
Audits can be shaped around your product, development stage, budget, and the questions you need answered.
- Websites
- Apps
- Kiosks
- Intranets
- Documents
- PDFs
- Other digital experiences and products
Lived Experience Matters
Technical conformance is only part of accessibility. User testing with people with disabilities can be included in an audit to uncover barriers, confusion, and usability problems that technical evaluation alone may not reveal.
