Web accessibility audit
Our web accessibility audit service is the first step towards finding out exactly what condition your website or app is in and what steps you need to take to comply with the regulations. The audit includes:
- A detailed audit of the website and/or mobile app, based on the WCAG 2.1 and 2.2 guidelines and the criteria of the European standard EN 301 549.
- We detect errors and accessibility barriers that affect people with visual, hearing, mobility or cognitive disabilities.
- Technical and linguistic analysis of the content to ensure that the message is clear and accessible to all audiences.
- A detailed web accessibility report containing specific, prioritised recommendations for rectifying each issue, along with information on the severity level and best practices for inclusive writing and accessible design.
Accessibility Statement
Once the web accessibility audit has been completed, we will help you draft and update your Accessibility Statement annually, in line with the European Commission’s template. This document publicly certifies the level of compliance of your website or application and is required by Law 11/2023 for the public sector and large companies.
1. Compliance status
Specify whether your site fully or partially complies with the applicable web accessibility requirements.
2. Evidence of inaccessible content
Describe the sections or elements that present barriers and the reason: disproportionate burden, uncontrolled third-party content, etc.
3. Preparation of the statement
Indicate the assessment method used (internal or external audit), as well as the date of the last review.
4. Contact details and feedback mechanism
A channel through which any user can report access difficulties or request alternative content.
5. Complaints procedure
Information on how to submit complaints if the response to the user has not been satisfactory.
Web accessibility consultancy
Beyond the report, our web accessibility consultancy supports you throughout the entire adaptation process. We don’t just identify what needs to be changed: we explain how to do it, who to coordinate with, and in what order to tackle the improvements to optimise time and budget.
We get involved from the early stages of the project to ensure that accessibility is integrated into the information architecture, design and development, avoiding costly corrections later on.
Our team of experts undergoes continuous training to ensure compliance with current web accessibility regulations in every project, including updates arising from the European Accessibility Act (EAA).
Frequently asked questions about our web accessibility audit services
What is a web accessibility audit?
It is a comprehensive analysis of a website or application to assess whether it complies with international accessibility standards —mainly WCAG 2.1 and 2.2— and with current legislation, identifying the barriers that prevent access for people with disabilities.
The result is a web accessibility report detailing the issues identified, their severity, and recommendations for improvement.
What regulations regulate web accessibility in Spain?
In Spain, mandatory web accessibility is mostly governed by Law 11/2023 and Royal Decree 193/2023, which are implemented by the European Accessibility Act (EAA). These regulations set out specific obligations for public sector bodies and, progressively, for private companies.
At a technical level, the reference standard is the European standard EN 301 549, which incorporates the WCAG criteria.
What does the web accessibility report include?
The report includes: a comprehensive technical and functional review of the website, an analysis of its structure, navigation, forms, multimedia content and compatibility with assistive technologies (screen readers, alternative keyboards, etc.), a list of issues categorised by severity (critical, high, medium, low), and prioritised recommendations for rectification.
For what kind of organisations is this service intended?
Our web accessibility services are aimed at both public sector organisations, for which compliance is required by law, and private companies. In the second case, the European Accessibility Act (EAA) stipulates that, from June 2025, certain companies—particularly those in sectors such as banking, transport, e-commerce and telecommunications—must comply with digital accessibility requirements. Failure to comply may result in financial penalties and legal action.
