Accessibility Audit
Validate compliance before it becomes mandatory.
An accessibility audit is a systematic assessment of your website or web application against recognized accessibility standards. The basis is WCAG 2.1 (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) at conformance level AA — the internationally recognized benchmark referenced by both the German BITV 2.0 and the European Accessibility Act (EAA). Automated tools alone capture only around 30–40% of actual barriers. The rest requires manual testing: screen reader tests, keyboard navigation, cognitive clarity and color contrast in context. That is exactly what I deliver.
What is tested? (POUR principle)
Perceivable
Can all content be perceived by people with different disabilities? This includes alt texts for images, captions for videos, sufficient color contrast and scalable text.
Operable
Is all functionality operable by keyboard? Is there sufficient time for interactions? Are users protected from flashing content and harmful animations?
Understandable
Is language and structure clear? Are forms labeled intuitively and errors communicated meaningfully?
Robust
Does the website work with current assistive technologies such as screen readers, voice control and alternative input devices?
