Manual accessibility testing
Real human testing finds the checkout and keyboard bugs that automated scanners miss.
One real audit finding, and the number that explains why it matters
30–40%
of known accessibility issues
UK Government Digital Service testing found the best automated checkers caught around 40% of known barriers on a single test page. Most caught less.
PayPal was completely unreachable by keyboard at checkout.
Card was pre-selected and worked fine. Tabbing through the payment section skipped straight past PayPal, so a customer who can't use a mouse couldn't pay that way. It appeared at no severity in the automated scan.
Every audit we've published has found at least one real, serious barrier the automated scan missed entirely. See the published audits.

Monitoring
Sites change constantly, and so does compliance. Monitoring keeps checking automatically; Managed adds manual re-checks and fixes what it finds, not just a re-audit.
Monitoring
£1,788/ year
12-month term · or £171/month (£2,052/year total)
Monthly automated re-scans and a quarterly report, so you always know where you stand.
Managed
£3,588/ year
12-month term · or £344/month (£4,128/year total)
Quarterly manual re-checks and a monthly automated re-scan, plus a capped block of fix hours each year where we make the code changes ourselves, not just flag them.
The law
The European Accessibility Act (Directive (EU) 2019/882) became applicable across the EU on 28 June 2025. If you sell products or services online to customers in the EU, in areas like e-commerce, banking, transport ticketing or telecoms, this almost certainly applies to your website, no matter where your business is based. Websites and apps need to meet the EN 301 549 standard, which closely follows WCAG 2.2 Level AA.

Founder
Koraay comes from a computing background, and first came across the European Accessibility Act while looking into compliance work more broadly. The more he dug in, the more obvious the gap became: most ecommerce sites had no real answer for accessibility, and the tools built to solve it, automated scanners, overlay widgets, weren't actually solving it. Accessimo exists to do the manual, human testing those tools can't, and to be honest about what's actually broken rather than papering over it with a badge.
Read the audits yourself before you talk to us: every published case study is public.
Enter your website address and we'll run a real automated accessibility scan right now, free, with no obligation to work with us afterwards.
This scan catches automatable issues only. A scanner can't tell you if your checkout works for a keyboard user. That needs manual testing. Book a manual audit for the real answer.
Scanning …

This is an automated scan only. Testing by the UK Government Digital Service found that automated tools catch roughly 30–40% of real accessibility issues at best. The rest, things like screen reader behaviour and keyboard navigation, can only be found through manual, human testing, which this free tool doesn't do. See the GDS research.
So here's what we know, and what's still unknown: the issues above are real and worth fixing, but they're not a compliance result. A full manual audit is the only way to know your actual legal status.
A copy of this report has been emailed to you.
Tell us a bit about your site and what you need, audit, monitoring, or you're not sure yet, and we'll get back to you directly. The EAA is already in force, not a future deadline, and the longer issues sit on a growing site, the more pages they end up on.
