Accessibility Audits

UX Designers working on a digital product design

Ensure your digital products meet accessibility standards and create inclusive digital experiences that are usable and enjoyable for everyone.

Accessibility Audits For digital products

We believe that great product design should be usable by everyone.

Beyond that philosophy, many products also have a legal obligation to ensure they are accessible to all, regardless of ability.

Our comprehensive accessibility audit helps you identify and address usability issues, providing a seamless experience for all users and ensuring compliance with relevant accessibility standards and legal frameworks.

Accessibility Standards We Test Against
  • WCAG
    The internationally recognised standard for digital accessibility, providing comprehensive guidelines for making web content perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust for all users.
  • EN 301 549
    The European standard for ICT accessibility, harmonising accessibility requirements for public procurement across Europe. Required under the European Accessibility Act (EAA).
  • Apple & Android Store Guidelines
    Standards and best practices for making apps and websites accessible on Mobile devices for distribution on Apple & Android app stores.
  • BITV
    The German accessibility regulation, ensuring that websites and digital services are accessible to people with disabilities.
  • RGAA
    The French accessibility standard, providing guidelines and criteria for evaluating the accessibility of public sector websites and digital services.

Why is accessibility important for digital products?

Legislation like the EU Accessibility Act sets strict standards for digital accessibility. Non-compliance can lead to legal action and hefty fines.

Inclusive User Experiences
