We offer both as separate services. Plenty of clients only need the first one.
A web accessibility audit is designed to be actionable on its own. The findings spreadsheet lists every finding with its criteria, impact level, why it matters, and code recommendations, so most teams with a developer can work from it directly.
Your options after a web accessibility audit
- Remediate the findings yourself. The audit is written so your developers can work from it directly.
- Remediate the findings with support. If your developers need extra support, we're happy to provide guidance as they work through the findings.
- Have Easy Surf complete the remediation. We also provide accessible web development and PDF remediation as separately scoped services, so raise this at scoping.
- Retest once updates are made, so you know which findings were remediated correctly. Retesting is priced at 50% of the matching audit.
How to choose
It depends on your developer resources and experience. Easy Surf can often complete accessibility fixes faster than a developer with limited accessibility knowledge, so in some situations it is more efficient for us to complete the remediation. If your developers already work comfortably with accessibility and can act quickly, they may be able to use the findings directly.
Scope the audit around what you can realistically remediate. Your budget is part of that decision. Tell us at the start which direction you're leaning, because it changes how we write the findings up.
Proving it afterwards
After a full audit and retesting, we can produce an Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR) using the Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) to demonstrate conformance. If a customer, a funder, or a procurement team asks you for an ACR, you can provide this document.
