Want to know how accessible your website or app is, without immediately committing to a lengthy process? With the manual quick scan from Audit House, you gain insight into the main WCAG 2.2 AA issues within one week.
A quick scan is a fast, manual assessment of your website or app. We focus on the 10 to 15 success criteria with the greatest impact on end users. This gives you immediate insight into the most important technical and visual barriers. The big advantage? The quick scan can be used flexibly. You can opt for a general baseline measurement of your platform, or have us look very specifically at a particular new component.
Ideal for a clear baseline measurement. We audit 3 to 5 important templates of your website or platform, such as the homepage, a standard content page, a search function and an important PDF document. This shows you straight away where the basics stand.
Working on a new feature or app? You can also use the quick scan to test specific components. For example, have us assess just that one new checkout, a complex application form or a specific user journey in your app before it goes live.
| Feature | Quick scan | Full WCAG audit |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Quick indication and baseline measurement | Complete, representative evidence |
| Scope | 3 to 5 key pages | Representative sample (WCAG-EM) |
| Assessment | Focus on criteria with the highest impact | All applicable WCAG 2.2 criteria |
| Legally valid | No (not a basis for a statement) | Yes (suitable for the register) |
We work with a clear, fixed price agreed in advance for the quick scan, so you know exactly where you stand.
A quick scan is the most logical, accessible first step. Have we carried it out for you and do you then decide to go ahead with the official, legally valid WCAG audit? Then we deduct the cost of the quick scan from the invoice for the final audit.
A WCAG quick scan tests a limited number of pages or processes (often 3 to 5) for the 10 to 15 most critical issues (WCAG 2.2 AA). It is a fast, pragmatic baseline measurement. A full WCAG audit tests a representative sample of the platform against all applicable criteria according to the formal WCAG-EM methodology, which provides legal evidence for the accessibility register.
No. Automated online tools (such as a free WCAG scan) find on average only 20% of all accessibility errors. A scanner can see whether an image has an alt text (description), for example, but not whether that text is actually correct for a blind visitor. We always test manually with screen readers and keyboard navigation to uncover the real problems.
We understand that developers and project managers want to move quickly. After a short alignment, we deliver the results of the quick scan within one week. You receive the findings in PDF and HTML, plus a handy CSV export. We are then happy to go through the results with you.
Certainly. We can use our manual quick scan in a very targeted way. Instead of checking an entire website, we can also focus on a specific user journey, such as the checkout process of a webshop or a specific flow within a mobile app. This is a smart way to prepare specifically for the European Accessibility Act (EAA).
