Methodology
A consistent methodology agencies can trust
Our methodology combines testing by disabled assistive technology users with automated scans and expert WCAG 2.2 analysis.
How we deliver audits
A consistent approach ensures manual feedback is captured alongside automated scans and expert analysis.
Tester qualifications
Disabled testers with lived experience using assistive technology daily: screen readers (JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver), screen magnification (ZoomText, built-in magnifiers), keyboard navigation, voice control, and mobile accessibility features.
Structured testing
We combine manual testing from 8-10 disabled users with automated scans to assess key journeys, devices, and WCAG success criteria.
WCAG mapping
Every finding is mapped to WCAG 2.2 criteria so teams can prioritize remediation effectively.
Report structure
Reports include severity, impact, evidence, and code-ready remediation guidance.
Quality assurance
Each report is reviewed for consistency, clarity, and completeness before delivery.

Why manual testing matters
Accessibility research consistently shows that automated testing tools can only detect approximately 25-35% of WCAG issues. Studies from organisations including the WebAIM and the UK Government Digital Service emphasise that automated tools cannot evaluate:
- Whether alternative text meaningfully describes an image
- If focus order is logical and intuitive for keyboard users
- Whether error messages are clear and helpful
- How well screen reader announcements convey page changes
- If interactive components work with various assistive technologies
This is why we combine automated scanning with manual testing by disabled users who rely on assistive technology daily. They find the barriers that automated tools simply cannot detect.
