Is an automated accessibility checker enough on its own?

No, automated tools catch a meaningful subset of issues but miss things like whether keyboard navigation order actually makes sense or whether a screen reader announces content usefully - a manual review alongside automated scanning is what a proper audit involves.

Do I legally need this for my business?

That depends on your sector and market - public institutions and certain regulated industries often have a legal requirement, while for others it's a business decision about not excluding part of their audience. We can help you understand which applies to your case.

WCAG Website Accessibility - Zephyra Studio

Quick answer

WCAG accessibility means anyone can use your site, including people with visual, hearing or motor impairments. We audit against the WCAG 2.2 standard, fix barriers in code and design, and document what was corrected, without tearing down the site's existing look.

What WCAG accessibility is and who it's for

WCAG accessibility is bringing a site in line with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, the international standard defining how content should be perceivable, operable and understandable for everyone. In practice that means text has sufficient contrast, navigation works by keyboard, every image has a text alternative, forms have correct labels, and video content has captions or a transcript.

This service is for businesses legally required to provide accessibility, and for anyone who doesn't want to lose part of their audience. That includes public institutions, schools and universities, banks and insurers, healthcare providers, but also private businesses with international clients whose own compliance requirements extend to their suppliers.

Advantages compared to alternatives

Compared to an automated accessibility scanner alone, a proper audit catches issues automated tools systematically miss, like whether keyboard navigation actually reaches every interactive element in a sensible order, not just whether alt text is technically present.

Compared to a full redesign aimed at accessibility, targeted fixes address specific WCAG failures within the existing design, so the site's look and brand identity stay intact rather than being rebuilt from scratch.

How we work on WCAG accessibility

We audit the site against WCAG 2.2 criteria: colour contrast, keyboard navigation, image alternatives, form labels, heading structure, and video captions where relevant. We prioritise fixes by real user impact, not just by how many individual technical violations a scanner reports.

We document every fix made, so you have a clear record of what was addressed, which matters both for your own records and for demonstrating good-faith compliance effort if it's ever questioned.

Approximate price

The price depends on the size of the site and how many accessibility issues the audit finds. Get an exact estimate through our calculator or a short conversation.

Frequently asked questions

In most cases, no - the large majority of WCAG fixes (contrast adjustments, alt text, keyboard navigation, form labels) can be made without visibly changing the site's design or brand identity.
