Web accessibility audit services
Four ways to work with tuaccesible, depending on what you already know about your product and how much time you have.
María Pía runs the manual testing. She has used a screen reader as her primary interface for 13 years. That changes what gets tested: she works through a form the way someone who depends on that technology does, not the way someone who switches a screen reader on to spot-check it. And no report ships after one pass: a second person reviews the findings and their priority before they reach you. See who audits your site.
A quote is free, and there's nothing to sign. Send us the address of the site, roughly how many distinct templates it has, which journeys need reviewing and whether there's a logged-in area. Within a week you get scope, price and timeline in writing, before anything starts. There's no public price list, because no two sites are alike.
The quote tells you what it costs and how long it takes. It doesn't include the list of what's wrong: that's the Express audit, which also sharpens the quote for the bigger job, because by then we know what we're dealing with.
Not sure which one you need? If you need an answer this week, start with the Express audit. If you need a document that stands up to a regulator or a client, that's the Site audit. If you also need the fixes to actually get made, take the Full package. If the problem is that your team keeps rebuilding the same barriers, book the Corporate workshop.
Working with us from the United States
tuaccesible is based in Argentina and works with clients in the United States, Spain and Latin America. Three things are worth saying before you ask.
- Hours. We're on UTC-3, one to two hours ahead of US Eastern time. A 10am call in New York is early afternoon here, and our working day overlaps almost entirely with yours. There's no overnight handoff and no waiting a day for an answer.
- Language. Every written deliverable is produced in English: the report, the criteria table, the accessibility statement and the ACR. Nothing is machine-translated. The Corporate workshop is the one exception, and it's explained below.
- Contracting and payment. We contract as an independent foreign vendor, and we complete a Form W-8BEN for your finance team before the first payment. We invoice in US dollars, and we accept bank transfer or PayPal.
Express audit
A fast read on the state of your site, before you commit budget to a bigger project. We review the home page at minimum, plus the key pages that matter most on your site. It's a first pass: it tells you where you stand, and it doesn't replace the page-by-page report. Delivered in 2 to 3 business days, paid in full up front.
What the express audit includes
- A manual review of the home page and a selection of key links.
- Direct observations, ordered by what has the most impact.
- A concrete recommendation on where to go next.
What it doesn't include: the page-by-page report or the full criteria table. That's what the Site audit adds.

Site audit
The foundation for any accessibility statement that will hold up. We review the site page by page and link by link. We don't sample. The usual practice in this industry is a representative sample, around 8 to 15 pages. The W3C evaluation methodology treats sampling as the fallback and recommends evaluating the entire product wherever that's feasible. We make it feasible, against Level AA at minimum.
What the site audit includes
- Evaluation page by page and link by link, not a sample.
- Level AA as the minimum, with AAA suggested wherever it's achievable.
- A full report with criteria table, screenshots, and examples.
- Both halves of the audit: the functional side, with keyboard and screen reader, and the visual side.
- A wrap-up call to walk through the findings. Bring whoever on your team needs to hear it.
How it differs from the Express audit: the Express audit tells you whether you have a problem. This one tells you which problems, where they are, and what to fix first, in a document that stands up as the basis for an accessibility statement.
Full package
Everything in the Site audit, plus the help it takes to get the fixes shipped. It's the only option with support after delivery.
What the full package includes
- Everything in the Site audit.
- Follow-up after delivery, for as long as your team needs it and asks for it.
- The accessibility statement already drafted.
- 20% off the retest, the second review once your changes are in. It costs less because we still have everything from the first audit and start from there.
- A live testing session, 30 to 90 minutes, where you watch your own product being used with a screen reader. Across this industry that session is sold as a paid add-on. Here it isn't an add-on, it's who does the audit.
You get the full report either way. The live session adds to it; it never replaces it. We hand you the recording as a file, with the captions in a separate file, so you can watch it in whatever player you already use and keep it wherever you want. We don't publish it and we don't host it anywhere.
How it differs from the Site audit: the audit ends when you receive the report. The Full package ends when the changes are done.
If you'd rather not handle it in-house, we scope and quote the remediation too. We make the changes in the code, not just flag them.
Corporate workshop
Delivered in Spanish. This is training for teams that work in Spanish, and that's a deliberate scope, not a gap we're working on: the centerpiece of the session is a live screen reader demonstration, run and narrated by the person who uses it, and that only works in the language she works in. If your product team is in Latin America or Spain, or you have Spanish-speaking engineers and content owners, this is built for them.
Accessibility training so your team stops repeating the same mistakes on the next project. One hour, extendable as needed. Remote anywhere in the world, or in person in Argentina.
What the corporate workshop includes
- A presentation built around your team's specific questions.
- A live demonstration navigating with a screen reader, as the centerpiece of the session.
- A mixed room: design, development and content together, so everyone leaves with the same vocabulary.
- No cap on attendees. We'd rather have your whole team in the room than charge per seat.
The demonstration works far better on your own site than on a generic example.
How it differs from the rest: the other three services evaluate a product. This one trains the people who build it, so the next one is right from the start.
ACR and VPAT, for selling into the United States
If a procurement team, a federal agency or an enterprise buyer has asked you for a VPAT, what they need is an ACR: an Accessibility Conformance Report, which is the VPAT template completed for your product, criterion by criterion, marked supports, partially supports, does not support or not applicable, with remarks. The VPAT is the blank form. The ACR is the document. Vendors report it under their own responsibility, which is exactly why a buyer reads it looking for who did the evaluation and how.
That's where the scope of the audit underneath stops being a detail. An ACR backed by a sample of ten pages describes those ten pages. Ours is backed by a review of every page, so the remarks column describes your product and not an extract of it.
We produce the edition your buyer asked for: WCAG, Section 508, EN 301 549 or the international edition.
Available on their own. The accessibility statement and the ACR can be ordered separately, based on an audit you already have. If someone is asking you for a certificate, read which web accessibility certificates actually exist and which document you need for the markets you sell into, before you pay for anything.
How we audit web accessibility
We combine automated tools with manual review using real screen readers: NVDA, JAWS, Windows Narrator, and TalkBack on Android. Automated tools cover the first pass. Manual testing is what finds the problems that matter, and there are no shortcuts there.
We work from WCAG 2.2 as the common baseline, which covers WCAG 2.1 as well, so an audit against 2.2 answers a US court or a procurement team that asked for 2.1. From there we evaluate against whichever framework applies to you: EN 301 549 and the European Accessibility Act, the EAA, in Europe; ADA and Section 508 in the United States; or the relevant national regulation in Latin America. If you're not sure which one covers you, we explain it in which accessibility law applies to you.
Websites aren't all we audit. We also cover Android apps, PDF and EPUB documents, desktop software, and browser extensions.
Every report is written for whoever has to read it. You can have it in any of these formats:
- A full document, with criteria table, screenshots, and examples.
- A spreadsheet, if you need the complete technical detail.
- A plain-language version, for the rest of the team.
- An ACR, the VPAT template filled in criterion by criterion, for selling into the United States. It can go on its own or alongside the full report.
We don't stop at flagging the problem: we propose the fix.
Working terms
We work with direct clients and with agencies, and we do our best work direct. On the Site audit, the Full package and the Corporate workshop, 50% is due when the contract is signed and the rest on delivery. The Express audit is the exception: it's small and fast, so it's paid in full up front.
We accept PayPal and bank transfer from Europe, Argentina, or the US. We quote in euros for Europe and dollars for the Americas.
Contract. Once we agree on the work, we send our own contract: scope, deliverables and timelines in writing, not just a quote. Auditing a product means seeing things that aren't public yet, so if your company needs an NDA, we'll sign yours.
Scope. We deliver the diagnosis, the prioritization, and the recommendations. Implementation, and the product's conformance, stay with whoever builds it. The exception is the Full package, which includes support through that implementation.
