Accessibility Audit in Reading

An accessibility audit for Reading organisations that includes the parts of the service nobody owns. Most remediation work stops at the pages the team built, while the booking widget, the payment step, the chat window and two hundred PDFs remain — and those are frequently where the journey breaks completely.

Why this comes up

The problem

The website was remediated last year and the application form is a PDF that a screen reader cannot complete.

What you get

What we deliver

  • Whole journeys tested end to end rather than pages assessed in isolation
  • Third-party components audited — booking, payment, chat and embedded forms
  • Documents assessed, since PDFs often carry the most important content
  • Findings raised with the suppliers responsible, with evidence they can act on
  • Barriers ranked by how many people they stop completing something
  • A realistic plan covering what you control and what must be replaced

Want this scoped for your business in Reading?

Thirty minutes, no charge, no sales script. You leave with a written summary of what accessibility audit would actually involve — whether or not you use us.

Accessibility Audit in Reading — common questions

Why audit whole journeys?
Because a page is not a task. Somebody applying for something passes through a form, a payment provider and a confirmation email, and an assessment that finds each page individually acceptable can still describe a process nobody using a screen reader can finish.
What can be done about third-party components?
More than most organisations attempt. Suppliers respond to specific, evidenced findings far better than to general complaints, and where they will not fix a genuine barrier that becomes a procurement matter — you remain responsible for the service regardless of who built the widget.
Are documents really part of this?
Frequently the largest part. Forms, guidance and reports published as PDFs are often untagged, unstructured and effectively unreadable with assistive technology, and where the document is the only route to something the barrier is absolute rather than inconvenient.
How should findings be prioritised?
By who is stopped and how completely. A contrast issue on a footer link and a form control with no label are not comparable problems, and an audit that presents both as failures of the same standard leaves a team to guess — so ordering by whether somebody can finish the task is what makes the report usable.
Do you work with businesses across Berkshire?
Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout South East, including Reading and the surrounding Berkshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
What kind of Reading businesses do you usually work with?
Work here usually has to satisfy someone else's security and integration standards, because clients sit inside larger enterprise supply chains. Beyond that we work across Technology, Telecommunications, Financial Services and Professional Services.
Do you cover the areas around Reading?
Yes — we work throughout South East, including Oxford, London, Milton Keynes, Southampton. Reading is an urban area of roughly 340,000+, and we take on work across the wider Berkshire region rather than the city boundary alone.
