How we audit for accessibility
No engagement at A11ySimple relies on an automated scan alone. Every audit combines standards expertise, hands-on assistive technology testing, and direct validation with people who have disabilities.
01
Discovery & scoping
We inventory templates, components, and critical user flows (checkout, account creation, forms, authentication) and prioritize by traffic and legal risk.
02
Manual expert testing
A certified specialist works through every applicable WCAG success criterion by hand — not a rule-matching engine.
03
Real user validation
Testers with visual, motor, auditory, and cognitive disabilities attempt real tasks on your product and report where they got stuck.
04
Reporting & remediation
You receive a prioritized report, a VPAT/ACR if needed, and a retest once fixes ship.
