Creating an accessible website isn’t just about legal compliance—it’s about ensuring that all users, regardless of ability, can engage with your business. Accessibility is a core part of good design and user experience, not an afterthought.

At Zenyth, our Web Audits focus exclusively on digital accessibility, helping businesses uncover and resolve barriers that prevent users with disabilities from fully engaging with their websites. This blog will walk you through what an accessibility audit involves, why it’s essential, and how it benefits your business.

What is an Accessibility Web Audit?

A web audit is a comprehensive review of your website based on the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)—the global standard for accessible web design. At Zenyth, we assess your site to identify barriers that may impact users with visual, auditory, cognitive, or motor impairments.

We go beyond just spotting errors—we provide clear, actionable recommendations to help your website meet both the letter and the spirit of accessibility standards.

Why Accessibility Audits Matter

Compliance with Legal Standards

Web accessibility laws are constantly evolving, and non-compliance can lead to lawsuits, financial penalties, and reputational damage.

• United States: Websites must comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 508 for government-related sites.
• European Union: The European Accessibility Act requires digital accessibility for businesses operating in the EU.
• United Kingdom: The Equality Act 2010 mandates accessibility for websites offering public services.

Our Legal Compliance Strategy helps businesses stay ahead of regulations and reduce legal risks.

Inclusive Customer Experiences

Accessibility is about more than just compliance—it’s about creating an inclusive digital experience for all users.

According to the CDC, 1 in 4 U.S. adults lives with a disability. Ensuring accessibility means reaching a broader audience and providing equal access to information, services, and products.

Boosting Brand Trust and Reputation

Modern consumers value social responsibility. Research from Harvard Business Review highlights that brands prioritizing inclusivity and accessibility build stronger customer loyalty.

Investing in Brand & Style Audits ensures consistent, accessible branding across all digital platforms—reinforcing your commitment to an inclusive user experience.

How We Conduct Accessibility Audits

At Zenyth, we take a holistic approach to accessibility, focusing on real-world usability and compliance.

WCAG Compliance Review

Our audits assess your website against WCAG 2.2 AA standards, evaluating:

• Text Alternatives: Are images and multimedia content accompanied by accurate alt text and captions?
• Keyboard Navigation: Can users navigate the entire site without a mouse?
• Color Contrast & Readability: Is text legible for users with low vision or color blindness?
• Form Accessibility: Are forms structured with clear labels and error messages that work with screen readers?

Identifying Critical Barriers

Beyond compliance, we analyze user experience challenges such as:
✅ Non-intuitive navigation creating frustration for users
✅ Inaccessible interactive elements like buttons and menus
✅ Missing video captions limiting access for deaf and hard-of-hearing users

Accessible Design Annotations ensure barriers are addressed at the design stage, saving time and costs on remediation.

The Impact of Accessibility Audits

Consider a retailer with a growing online store. They notice high cart abandonment rates. After an audit, we discover:

• Checkout pages aren’t keyboard-accessible, preventing users with assistive technologies from completing purchases.
• Product images lack descriptive alt text, making it difficult for visually impaired customers to shop.

After implementing accessible brand colors and WCAG-compliant navigation, the retailer sees increased conversions and customer satisfaction.
