Website accessibility audits

We award the See it Right logo to websites that have undergone the audit process and achieve the required standard. An audit is a web accessibility evaluation carried out by an experienced consultant at RNIB to the See it Right standard. The See it Right standard is based on the WAI (Web Accessibility Initiative) guidelines. Displaying the See it Right logo on your site means your users can be confident that they can access your site regardless of their abilities or the technologies they use.

Individual page/template assessments

Testing pages and templates at key stages during a site build or redesign can help ensure you are on the right track. We can test pages to either WAI A, AA, AAA or See it Right standard.

Accessibility standards overview

The accessibility standards overview gives you an at-a-glance summary of the accessibility level of your site. This helps you assess how compliant your website is against See it Right, WAI level A, AA, and AAA. This can then be used inform what level of compliance is practical and achievable for your organisation.
