Frequently Asked Questions

01 What metrics can this web accessibility audit help us improve?

If you implement the suggested changes from this accessibility audit service, you can expect to improve your:

Customer satisfaction score
User retention rate
Conversion rate
Organic traffic volume
Organic search rank
Organic reach

02 Does this website accessibility service offer an accessibility audit or a WCAG audit?

It covers both. The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) serve as the international standard for web accessibility. Our accessibility review, based on these WCAG guidelines, uses the a11y framework to assess your website. The audit will provide a comprehensive list of improvement suggestions and assign an accessibility score to help you enhance your site’s inclusivity.

03 How will the European Accessibility Act impact my business?

The European Accessibility Act makes accessibility a legal obligation for all companies that sell products and services in Europe. Persons with disabilities can no longer be excluded and must be offered equal access to digital products and services. Businesses have until June 28th, 2025, to become fully compliant.

04 What does The Software House need from me to run the digital accessibility audit?

We need your participation on the first day of the Sprint. During this session, we will discuss the audit’s goals with your company’s stakeholders and assign roles to all participants. You don’t need to provide an accessibility audit tool. We will use our own toolset.

05 What can I expect from this accessibility audit service?

Our web accessibility audit service might be different depending on whether you’re launching a new project or upgrading an existing application. If it’s the former, we handle all accessibility-related issues – from architecture and design to backend/frontend development and testing. If it’s the latter, we provide a comprehensive accessibility review, including an audit service done by our experts. This is part of the Software House Quality Assurance strategy.
