WCAG 2.2 accessibility audits

Find what's locking disabled users out of your site, before they find it for you.

An independent audit of your modals, forms, navigation and gated content, written up as a clear, prioritised report your own developers can act on straight away.

Request an audit See what's covered

Try it: Ignore your mouse and tab through this page. Every link and field has a visible focus outline, the heading order is real, and nothing here relies on colour alone to make its point, because that's exactly what gets checked in an audit.

Legal exposure

The Equality Act doesn't name WCAG, but courts and regulators do, they increasingly treat it as the benchmark for "reasonable adjustments." An audit turns that exposure into a documented, prioritised fix list, not a guess you're hoping never gets tested in court.

Customers you're losing right now

Screen reader users hit a dead link with no name. Keyboard-only users tab into invisible content and give up. Someone zoomed in for low vision can't find the nav. None of them complain They just leave, silently, and you never see it in your analytics as anything other than a bounce.

Findings, not a retainer

You get a clear, evidenced report your existing developers can action directly. What's broken, why it fails, and how to fix it. No dependency on us, no ongoing contract required.

Scope of work

What a Clearsight audit actually checks

Every audit is manual, tested against WCAG 2.2 AA, and covers the interactions automated scanners routinely miss. No vague 'mostly compliant' or partial pass. You get a full audit report with a clear result against the standard for every page tested, plus a prioritised remediation plan your developers can act on directly.

We test to Level WCAG 2.2 AA the benchmark used by UK public sector regulations and the standard courts reference under the Equality Act. AAA exists but is rarely achievable or required site-wide; if it's relevant to your project, we'll flag it separately.

Scope

  • Modals & dialogues
  • Buttons & interactive controls
  • Redirects & page transitions
  • Live announcements
  • Gated / member-only content

Method

  • Keyboard-only navigation testing
  • Screen reader walkthrough
  • Focus order & visibility checks
  • Automated scan as a starting baseline, not the finish line

Tested with

  • Desktop and mobile layouts, including zoom and reflow
  • VoiceOver screen reader on Mac and iPhone
  • Colour Contrast Analyser, ANDI and WAVE
  • Real user journeys: forms, basket and checkout

How this is different

Audit-only, on purpose

Some accessibility firms sell an audit as the opening move in a longer remediation contract. Clearsight doesn't build or fix anything the audit is the whole engagement, so the findings are the only thing being sold.

  • You keep your developers Your team implements the fixes, nobody else needs to touch your codebase.
  • No conflict of interest Findings aren't shaped by an incentive to sell you a bigger fix.
  • A retest, not a retainer Once fixes are live, a paid retest confirms what changed, no ongoing contract required.

Your deliverable

How we present our findings

Every audit is delivered as a structured Excel workbook, built so the business owner and the developer each get what they need from the same document. Findings are logged once and the summary updates itself, so nothing gets lost between the two.

Need a formal conformance report for a tender or procurement process? We can also produce a VPAT (International edition) and ACR (Accessibility Conformance Report), covering WCAG 2.2, EN 301 549 (EU) and Section 508 (US) in a single document. It's one clear report that works under either framework, not two conflicting ones. This is available as an add-on and quoted with your audit.

Testing follows the DHS Trusted Tester methodology, the structured process US federal agencies use to test for Section 508 conformance. Your audit is carried out by a certified DHS Trusted Tester, working criterion by criterion with keyboard, screen reader and contrast tools, not a quick automated scan.

What's in your workbook

  • Summary: a plain-English overview for the business owner, with issue counts, what to fix first and who fixes it
  • Issue log: every finding for your developer, with page, code evidence, WCAG criterion and a specific fix
  • Verified passes: what was tested and met the standard, so you know it was checked
  • Screenshots and exact measurements as evidence

Reading the findings

  • Fail: does not meet WCAG 2.2 AA and should be fixed
  • Advisory: meets the standard but still makes the site harder to use
  • Severity: Critical, High, Medium or Low, based on how much it stops people completing a task
  • Who fixes it: theme, plugin, page content or settings, so the right person picks it up

Format & confidentiality

  • Delivered as an Excel workbook that you can sort, filter and track fixes in
  • Nothing here is auto-generated. Every finding is manually verified
  • NDA available on request before testing begins

Pricing

Credited in full against a Full audit if you upgrade within 30 days.

Full audit

from £1,950

A complete manual audit against WCAG 2.2 AA covering up to 10 page layouts and your key user journeys, on desktop and mobile. Every template and interactive component is tested: forms, menus, pop-ups and navigation. Delivered as the full workbook, with an owner summary and a developer issue log.

E-commerce & complex sites
