Website accessibility report
An accessibility report tells you exactly where your website stands against WCAG 2.2, the ADA and the European Accessibility Act: which barriers exist, who they affect, how severe they are, and how to fix them.

What is a website accessibility report?
A website accessibility report is a structured evaluation of how well your website works for people with disabilities, measured against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). It documents every barrier found - missing alternative text, low color contrast, keyboard traps, unlabeled forms - and maps each one to the exact WCAG success criterion it violates, with a severity rating and a recommended fix.
Accessibility reports have become a standard business document. They are requested in enterprise procurement, demanded in ADA compliance claims and demand letters, required for public-sector contracts under Section 508 and EN 301 549, and expected under the European Accessibility Act, in force since June 28, 2025. A current, credible report is the difference between demonstrating a web accessibility program and scrambling to produce evidence after a complaint.
What a complete accessibility audit report includes
Anything less is a scan printout, not an audit report.
- Executive summary with an overall compliance score and risk assessment
- Full issue list - every finding mapped to its WCAG 2.2 success criterion
- Severity ranking: critical, serious, moderate and minor
- The user impact of each barrier - who is blocked, and from what
- Screenshots and exact code locations for every issue
- Step-by-step remediation guidance written for your development team
- Results of manual expert testing: keyboard, focus order and screen readers
- Retest and validation results after fixes are implemented
- Optional formal documentation: VPAT / ACR and compliance certification
Automated tools alone detect the machine-readable portion of WCAG issues. The rest - meaningful alt text, logical reading order, real screen reader usability - requires human judgment. That is why EqualWeb audit reports combine automated scanning with manual testing by certified IAAP/CPWA experts.

Types of accessibility reports
Different situations call for different documents. These are the ones that matter.
| Report type | What it is - and when you need it |
|---|---|
| Accessibility evaluation report | A point-in-time assessment of a site or app against WCAG, following the W3C evaluation methodology (WCAG-EM). The standard starting point of any accessibility project. |
| Accessibility audit report | The full expert document: automated plus manual findings, severity, user impact, remediation guidance and validation. What you need for serious remediation work. |
| WCAG report | Criterion-by-criterion conformance record against WCAG 2.2 - pass, fail or not applicable, with evidence. The technical backbone of every other report. |
| Accessibility compliance report | Maps findings to a legal standard - ADA, Section 508, EN 301 549, the European Accessibility Act - to document where you stand and what remains. What lawyers and regulators ask for. |
| VPAT / ACR | The procurement disclosure: a completed Voluntary Product Accessibility Template, published as an Accessibility Conformance Report. Enterprise and government buyers require it. EqualWeb prepares VPATs. |
| Monitoring report | Recurring automated reports that track your compliance score over time and flag regressions as content changes. Compliance is a process, not a snapshot. |
From report to remediation - and proof
A report identifies the problem; it does not fix it. From your report, EqualWeb offers two paths. With the Accessibility Audit service, your development team remediates using our findings and we independently retest and validate every fix. With Managed Compliance, our certified experts do the remediation for you - client-side code fixes, continuous monitoring, a signed Accessibility Compliance Certificate, a VPAT and litigation support, typically up to 30 business days.
Either way, the finish line is the same: a documented, defensible record that your website meets WCAG 2.2 - the benchmark behind the ADA, the European Accessibility Act and every major accessibility law.
