The accessibility audit is a detailed, in-depth analysis of your website and other digital properties to ensure that they are accessible to everyone and conform with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) technical standards.
A website is considered accessible if everyone can perceive, understand, navigate, and interact with it.
Accessibility issues can affect your website and brand reputation. In addition, once your website is not accessible to users with disabilities, you are not only losing out on revenue but also risking legal repercussions.
