Accessibility
Can the site be used with a disability? Keyboard use, contrast, alternatives to images, and the structure of the pages.
Audit your home page for free
We look at your home page for Accessibility, and we email you our report within 48 working hours.
One page, one pillar. The plans cover the 9 pillars across your whole site.
What we look at
- Text contrast, measured on the page as it is actually rendered: consent banner included, fades finished, and in dark theme where the site offers one.
- Text alternatives for images: those carrying information must convey it, those that decorate must stay invisible.
- The names the browser computes for your links and buttons. The common fault is not a missing name, it is twelve “Read more” links leading to twelve different places.
- Form field labels, heading hierarchy and navigation landmarks. A label that disappears as soon as you type in the field is announced by nothing.
- Keyboard use, exercised rather than assumed: a menu that only opens on hover, a button the Enter key does not activate, a panel the Escape key no longer closes.
- The visual marker showing where you are on the keyboard, measured by real presses of the tab key: an outline painted transparent is no more visible than an outline that is absent.
- Where the regulations call for one, the accessibility statement: an obligation distinct from the quality of the site, which a faultless site can still miss.
On what basis
WCAG 2.2 AA, RGAA, EU Directive 2019/882
A finding is only worth something if it rests on an identifiable basis. Where one exists, we lean on a law, a standard or a specification, and for every point recorded the report names the page and gives the value we measured.
What it changes for you
Accessibility is no longer only good practice. Depending on your activity, your status and the scope you fall under, legal obligations may apply to your site: since 28 June 2025 for online commerce services within the reach of the European regulation, and for longer in France for the public sector and certain large companies. Which scope applies depends on your situation.
Beyond the obligation, a site that cannot be used with a keyboard is also unusable for many visitors who will never call themselves disabled: a busy hand, a screen too small, an unreliable mouse.
What this audit does not say
No examination covers a whole standard. What stays outside: media transcripts, information carried by colour alone, the order in which the page reads, and the experience of a screen-reader user.
We exercise on the keyboard what can be exercised, and we name what was not. The report therefore never issues RGAA or WCAG conformance, and it is not legal advice: it establishes faults, each with its measurement, and writes down what remains to be checked another way.
Every limit of the examination is stated in the methodology note of your report. A point that cannot be verified is never presented as compliant.
The weight of this pillar
An overall score has to weigh what matters for your business: the 9 pillars do not carry the same weight depending on what your site is for. Here is what “accessibility” represents in the overall score, under each weighting. The report always states which one produced your score.
| Type of site | Share of the overall score |
|---|---|
| Type not determined | 12% |
| Brochure site | 10% |
| Online shop | 13% |
| Application, customer portal | 11% |
| Blog, media | 10% |
| Public-sector site | 24% |
