WCAG Accessibility Audit and Remediation for Switzerland

WCAG accessibility audit and remediation for Swiss websites

Paid service. Real findings, real fixes. EAA-ready by 2025. EU-incorporated, CHF or EUR invoicing.

Why most accessibility audits are worthless

Two patterns I see constantly. Automated scan reports flag 200 issues, 80 percent false positives, real blockers buried. Or expensive consultant PDFs: 60 pages of WCAG criteria, zero actionable remediation. You're left with a stack of "issues" and no path to fix them.

I do audits you can act on. Manual testing with assistive tech, code-level fix recommendations, severity ranking, and a remediation roadmap your dev team can execute against.

What I deliver

  • Manual audit of in-scope pages or flows. Keyboard navigation, screen reader testing (NVDA, VoiceOver), zoom, contrast, focus management.
  • Automated baseline (axe-core, Lighthouse) as documentation, not primary findings.
  • Severity-ranked findings: Blocker / Major / Minor / Cosmetic.
  • Code-level recommendations with specific components and tests to verify.
  • Remediation roadmap prioritized for impact.
  • Re-test after fixes, quoted separately, recommended.

When this audit is for you

  • Swiss businesses trading into the EU and facing the European Accessibility Act (EAA) deadline.
  • Public sector and federal mandate clients with WCAG 2.1 AA contractual obligations.
  • E-commerce and banking sites preparing for EAA scope expansion.
  • Companies whose previous audit produced a PDF nobody acted on.

Proof, not promises

  • CeHDI (policy, multilingual, accessibility): full WCAG remediation on a policy-sector site where compliance was non-negotiable. Multilingual, screen-reader tested, live at cehdi.org.

How engagements work

  • Fixed-price audit, quoted after a free 30-minute scoping call.
  • Typical turnaround: 1 to 2 weeks depending on site size.
  • Remediation either: I implement the fixes, or your dev team does and I re-test.
  • Invoice in CHF or EUR. VAT reverse-charge for Swiss VAT-registered clients.

FAQ

Is the audit EAA-compliant? The EAA references WCAG 2.1 AA. My audit reports against that standard with EAA-specific scope notes (e-commerce, banking, transport, communications).

Is this audit certifiable? No audit is. WCAG conformance is a state, not a certificate. Anyone selling certification is selling theater.

What's the price range? Depends on site size. Single-flow audits start around CHF 1,800. Full-site audits run CHF 4,500 to CHF 14,000. I quote after the scoping call.
