Accessibility Testing Services | Avocado Consulting

Who is this for?

You'll recognise the situation

You operate in a public sector or regulated industry with strict accessibility procurement and compliance mandates.

You need to know whether your application actually works with real screen readers and assistive technologies, not just what automated scanners can catch.

You have an accessibility audit report but lack a prioritised, developer-friendly roadmap to remediate the findings.

You want to stop retrofitting accessibility after launch and start embedding inclusive design directly into your core delivery.

What's included

WCAG conformance assessment

Evaluation against the relevant conformance level for your organisation.

Assistive technology compatibility testing

In-depth testing across screen readers, keyboard-only navigation, and display accessibility features.

Accessibility audit and remediation roadmap

Practical, prioritised, and developer-friendly guidance — moving beyond standard compliance reports.

Continuous accessibility assurance

Embedding accessibility guardrails into your ongoing QA and release cycles so compliance holds as your application evolves.

How do we deliver it?

How we deliver it

Assess

Evaluate your digital products against target WCAG conformance levels and test workflows using real assistive technologies, such as screen readers and keyboard navigation.

Prioritise

Translate audit findings into a developer-ready remediation roadmap, ranked by legal risk and UX impact.

Remediate

Support your engineering teams through fixes, re-validating every fix with genuine assistive tools rather than relying solely on automated scanners.

Integrate

Embed accessibility checks into ongoing QA and release cycles, so compliance holds as your application evolves.

What tools and technology do we use?

Automated scanning plus genuine assistive-technology testing

We assess your application against WCAG conformance levels (A, AA, AAA) to ensure full regulatory compliance. We combine automated scanning tools such as axe and WAVE with hands-on assistive-technology validation — testing real user flows across industry-standard screen readers like JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver, alongside keyboard navigation testing.

What outcomes can you expect?

What you walk away with

Compliance-first assurance — verified against the specific WCAG conformance level your organisation needs.

Genuine assistive-technology validation — real user-flow assurance that goes far beyond what automated scanners alone can detect.

Practical remediation guidance — prioritised, developer-friendly roadmaps rather than a static report to file away.

Continuous quality integration — accessibility built directly into ongoing delivery cycles, eliminating last-minute post-launch retrofits.

How is this engagement structured?

Delivered as an audit-and-remediation engagement — either a standalone WCAG conformance assessment, or ongoing integration into your QA and release cycles. Contact us for a tailored proposal and quote.

FAQ

Common questions

What is WCAG?

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) are the internationally recognised technical standards for digital accessibility, published across three conformance levels — A (minimum), AA (standard), and AAA (advanced). Level AA typically serves as the global benchmark for regulatory compliance, legal mandates and procurement requirements.

Do you test with real assistive technology, or just automated scanners?

Both — automated scanning catches a portion of accessibility issues quickly, but genuine screen reader and keyboard navigation testing is essential to validate real-world usability, which automated tools alone cannot confirm.

Who needs accessibility testing?

Any organisation with public-facing digital services, though it is a specific and often mandatory requirement across public sector agencies and regulated-industry procurement processes.

Is this a one-off audit or an ongoing service?

Both models are available. We provide a standalone WCAG conformance assessment with a prioritised remediation roadmap, as well as ongoing integration into your QA and release cycles to ensure compliance holds as your application changes over time.

We already have an audit finding — can you help us fix it?

Absolutely — many of our engagements begin with an existing audit finding or compliance gap. We digest complex accessibility audit reports, break non-conformance issues into developer-ready backlogs, and support your engineering teams through the actual fixes (design and code) to achieve full re-testing sign-off.
