What's in a Quietramp audit
A WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility audit for one page of your site: an automated scan, a manual review by a person, and a report your developers can act on the same day.
The process
Scan
We run the page you give us through an automated WCAG 2.1 AA scan (Playwright + axe-core, tags wcag2a, wcag2aa,wcag21aa) to surface candidate violations with screenshots.
Review
A human reviewer goes through every automated finding, confirms it against the real markup, and discards known false-positive-prone results (color-contrast edge cases, landmark rules, and similar axe-core rules with a documented history of misfiring) rather than shipping them unverified.
Manual checks
Then the reviewer does what automated tools structurally cannot: walks the page by keyboard only (tab order, visible focus, no traps), checks screen-reader landmarks and heading/semantic structure, verifies form labels and error handling, and judges whether alt text actually describes the image rather than just existing.
Report
You get a PDF, findings prioritized critical → minor, each with a screenshot and a concrete, code-level fix instruction your developers can act on — typically within 48 hours of purchase.
What's included / what's not
Included
- Automated WCAG 2.1 AA scan of one URL you specify
- Human review of every automated finding (false positives removed)
- Manual keyboard-navigation and screen-reader landmark/semantics review
- Prioritized report (critical → minor) with screenshots
- Concrete, developer-actionable fix instructions per finding
- Delivery within 48 hours of purchase
- Optional: specific pages or flows you flag (e.g. checkout) reviewed by hand alongside the primary scanned page
Not included
- Legal advice or a compliance/certification determination — see our disclaimer
- A guarantee against lawsuits or demand letters — no one can honestly offer that
- A full multi-page site crawl in the base $490 audit (one page is the unit; talk to us if you need more than one reviewed)
- Code changes — we tell your developers exactly what to fix, we don't implement the fix ourselves
- Ongoing rescans — that's the separate $99/mo re-monitoring add-on
Why the human review is the actual product
Automated scanners like axe-core, WAVE, and Lighthouse are free, everywhere, and genuinely useful — but they structurally cannot tell you whether keyboard focus order makes sense, whether a modal traps focus correctly, or whether alt text is descriptive rather than just present. They also throw false positives on real, compliant markup.
If you've already run a free scanner, you've done a fine first pass; the paid part of what we do is a person verifying and extending that pass by hand before anything reaches you.
