Web Accessibility Audits | by Oxford Search Lab
Our audits focus on practical, achievable recommendations that strengthen accessibility without disrupting your existing design and development processes.
What our technical SEO work covers
A web accessibility audit helps ensure your site can be used and understood by as many people as possible. It supports inclusivity, reduces risk and often improves overall user experience for everyone.
Oxford Search Lab provides measured, detailed accessibility audits aligned with WCAG guidance. We take a structured, evidence based approach to identifying issues and outlining the changes needed to make your site more accessible and compliant.
WCAG compliance review
We assess your site against key WCAG criteria, identifying issues that may affect navigation, readability, interaction or assistive technology compatibility.
Keyboard and screen reader testing
We carry out hands on testing to ensure users can navigate your site without a mouse and that screen readers interpret your pages correctly.
Design and content accessibility
We review colour contrast, headings, alt text, link clarity, form labelling and the general readability of your content.
Technical barriers
We identify code level problems such as missing ARIA attributes, non semantic markup, inaccessible components, dynamic elements that are not announced properly and other issues that can impact usability.
Templates and components
We analyse key templates to highlight recurring patterns, helping your team fix issues once at component level rather than page by page.
