- What is a web accessibility audit?
- A systematic review of your website or application against WCAG 2.1, Section 508, and ADA standards. We combine automated scanning and manual expert evaluation to identify barriers, then deliver a prioritized, plain-language remediation report showing exactly what to fix and in what order.
- How long does an accessibility audit take?
- It depends on the size and complexity of your site. A focused audit of a small business website typically takes 1–2 weeks. Larger applications or enterprise sites may take 3–4 weeks or more. We scope every engagement during your free consultation and give you a clear timeline upfront — no surprises.
- What is the difference between WCAG Level A, AA, and AAA?
- Level A covers the most critical barriers that completely block access. Level AA is the widely accepted legal and regulatory standard — covering contrast ratios, keyboard navigability, and more. Level AAA is the highest level, not generally required by law but representing best practice. BE MY A11Y targets WCAG 2.1 Level AA for all client work.
- Can AI tools replace a manual accessibility audit?
- No. Automated tools are powerful for detecting issues quickly, but they catch approximately 30–40% of WCAG failures. Issues like logical reading order, meaningful link text in context, or complex interaction patterns require human judgment. We pair AI-powered scanning with expert manual review so you get both speed and accuracy.
- Do I need ongoing monitoring after an audit?
- For most organizations, yes. Websites change constantly — new pages, features, and third-party integrations can introduce new barriers even after a clean audit. Our software monitoring service catches regressions and keeps you compliant as your product evolves.
