We test your website with NVDA and JAWS screen readers, a keyboard, zoom at 200% and automated tools. You receive a report against WCAG criteria, fix plan, accessibility statement and team training.
Four things you always get with a Balance IT WCAG audit package.
Website brief + audit scope (sample pages) → quote within 24h.
Scan with axe DevTools + Lighthouse + WAVE (baseline) + manual test with NVDA + JAWS + keyboard + zoom 200%.
Template + company details + plan to address non-compliance + deadline for achieving compliance. Compliant with the Act.
After fixes are implemented: verification included in the package price. Have the criteria been met?
An automated scan detects 30-40% of accessibility issues. Manual testing with a screen reader + keyboard navigation + zoom 200% covers additional manual tests.

We review these questions with you before we confirm the scope and deliverables.
Scope and handover
Which systems, scenarios and people are in scope?
What access and materials do we need before starting?
How will we judge whether the audit or training is useful?
Who will act on the findings and check the result?
The Balance IT standard
A dedicated PM and fast Slack/Teams support.
The agreement sets the price, which revisions are included and how we price additional work.
A bespoke UI component library.
After fixes are implemented: verification by criterion. Have the criteria actually been met, and have any new regressions been introduced?
Every audit ends with a report by criterion, an accessibility statement and a re-audit. No quick fixes, no overlays, no “100% WCAG” marketing.
Each stage ends with a demo and approval. Only then do we move to the next.
