The deliverable
What lands in your inbox.
A client-ready report, not a raw scanner dump. Every finding is ranked, explained in business language, and paired with a concrete fix.
- Severity ranking: critical, serious, moderate, minor
- Weighted barrier score to track progress over time
- Affected elements with screenshot evidence
- WCAG 2.2 references and a fix for each pattern
- Honest coverage note: what automation catches, what needs a human
Elements must only use supported ARIA attributes
aria-allowed-attr · WCAG 4.1.2Visible text must be part of the accessible name
label-content-name-mismatch · WCAG 2.5.3The law
Why this matters now.
It already applies
The European Accessibility Act (Directive (EU) 2019/882) has applied since 28 June 2025. Online shops selling to EU consumers must be accessible.
Overlays don't count
German accessibility auditors publicly rejected overlay widgets as a compliance route in Jan 2026. A plugin badge is not a fix.
Real penalties
Enforcement and fines are set by each member state and are ramping through 2026. The baseline is WCAG 2.1 AA via EN 301 549.
It's also revenue
Roughly 1 in 4 EU adults lives with a disability. Barriers at checkout are customers who quietly leave.

FAQ
Straight answers.
No. It is an evidence-based audit and a prioritized fix plan. Automated checks catch roughly a third of WCAG issues; the Full audit adds manual verification. No honest tool can issue a blanket certificate from a scan.
No. German auditors rejected overlays for EAA compliance in Jan 2026. Overlays mask symptoms and often add new barriers. We report the real fixes in your templates and components.
If you sell to EU consumers, the EAA reaches you. If you only sell domestically, the same WCAG work still improves conversion and SEO, and prepares you for similar laws (ADA, AODA).
Just your public URL. We scan publicly reachable pages in headless Chrome. No credentials, no code access, no data leaves the audit machine. Checkout flows that need login are covered in the Full audit via a test account you provide.
48 hours from payment for both audit tiers. Monitoring starts the same week.
You get a clean report with the coverage note and the manual checks we performed, plus guidance to keep it clean. If a paid Quick audit finds zero automatically detectable barriers, we refund it.
