Web Accessibility Audit · Birmingham
Web Accessibility Audit in Birmingham
Testing Birmingham organisations' sites against WCAG, by hand as well as by tool. Automated checking finds roughly a third of issues and cannot judge whether alternative text is meaningful, whether an error message helps, or whether a page can be completed using a keyboard alone.
Why this comes up
The problem
Accessibility has never been tested, an overlay widget was installed to deal with it, and nobody knows what a disabled user actually encounters.
What you get
What we deliver
- Automated scanning to clear the mechanical issues quickly
- Manual testing by keyboard and with a screen reader, which is where real failures sit
- Findings mapped to specific WCAG criteria at the level you are targeting
- Prioritisation by user impact, since a blocked checkout outranks a contrast warning
- An accessibility statement that describes the true position
- Remediation guidance specific enough for a developer to act on

Working in Birmingham
West Midlands
Birmingham is the UK's second city and its business base is broad rather than specialised, so projects here range from single-site hospitality systems to multi-region platforms for professional services firms.
Briefs range widely, but the recurring themes are multi-site operations needing one system instead of five, and professional services firms replacing spreadsheets with something auditable.

Web Accessibility Audit in Birmingham — common questions
- Are accessibility overlays a solution?
- No, and they can make things worse. Disability organisations have consistently opposed them, users of assistive technology report them interfering with tools that already work, and installing one does not remediate the underlying site. They have also featured in litigation rather than preventing it.
- What are our legal obligations?
- Public sector bodies must meet specific accessibility regulations and publish a statement. Private organisations have duties under the Equality Act to make reasonable adjustments, which extends to services delivered online. Neither is discretionary, and enforcement has been increasing.
- Why is manual testing necessary?
- Because most criteria require judgement. A tool confirms alternative text exists; only a person can tell whether it conveys what the image means. Keyboard traps, illogical focus order and unhelpful error messages are all invisible to automated scanning.
- Should we aim for AA?
- AA is the usual standard, referenced by public sector regulations and by most procurement. AAA is not expected across a whole site and is unachievable for some content. Committing publicly to a level you have actually tested against is what matters.
- Do you work with businesses across West Midlands?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout West Midlands, including Birmingham and the surrounding West Midlands area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Birmingham businesses do you usually work with?
- Briefs range widely, but the recurring themes are multi-site operations needing one system instead of five, and professional services firms replacing spreadsheets with something auditable. Beyond that we work across Professional Services, Manufacturing, Financial Services, Construction, Hospitality and Logistics.
- Do you cover the areas around Birmingham?
- Yes — we work throughout West Midlands, including Coventry, Wolverhampton, Derby, Leicester. Birmingham is an urban area of roughly 2,600,000+, and we take on work across the wider West Midlands region rather than the city boundary alone.
