Kindera digital accessibility audit: every angle covered
At Kindera, we believe in delivering true accessibility, not just ticking compliance boxes. Our exhaustive digital accessibility audit goes far beyond basic automated checks. We combine advanced evaluation tools with rigorous, hands-on manual testing, including in-depth screen reader and keyboard navigation assessments. This meticulous approach ensures your website doesn't just meet standards, but delivers the highest usability experience for everyone.
To give you crystal-clear insights, we also provide a personalised video walkthrough, visually demonstrating specific accessibility challenges on your site.
Simon from Kindera is a pleasure to work with. Our accessibility assessment was delivered in a comprehensive report that was clear, well structured, and easy to follow. The findings allowed us to clearly prioritise our work and next steps. The accompanying video was particularly useful in adding clarity, and communication throughout the process was excellent, with help always available and proactively offered.

The Kindera digital accessibility audit
Our digital accessibility audits aim to achieve the highest level of clarity and conformance. We typically use WCAG 2.2 AA as a benchmark, as this generally achieves a high standard and matches the benchmark used by UK Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) Accessibility Regulations 2018 and many other International laws.
The auditor
Simon Leadbetter has over 30 years experience designing, building and maintaining websites of all sizes. His blend of skills and the ability to see things from both a design and technical perspective results in a comprehensive auditing process that goes beyond the normal checklist.
The tools
We use the following tools to conduct automated tests:
- WAVE
- axe-core and/or HMTL Code Sniffer
- SilkTide
The tools we use for manual testing include:
- VoiceOver
- VoiceOver for iOS
- Android TalkBack
- NVDA
- Keyboard
The process
We are happy to adapt our process to meet your needs, but we will never cut corners.
We typically follow these steps:
- Initial conversation about the project, goals and establish a target standard
- We spend time conducting the audit
- Produce and submit the report and a video walk-through
- Meet with client project team to discuss any issues in more detail
- Client project team remedies issues
- Conduct a follow-up review
The report
We test key pages against the 56 Success Criterion (SC) of WCAG 2.2 and compile that into either a simplified report containing only the failed SC, or we can use the more formal VPAT 2.5 (WCAG) framework.
The report will be provided as a PDF containing a clear overview of the issues we have identified, along with practical advice on how the client project team can remedy these issues.
Issues are prioritised so the client team can understand which ones will present the greatest challenges and those that should be tackled first.
An ongoing journey
As your product evolves, so do the standards and expectations. That's why we provide ongoing support and guidance to help you maintain compliance and ensure your website or app remains accessible to all.
