Accessibility AuditsManual QA Testing Services

Thorough accessibility testing for WCAG 2.2 compliance — paired with functional QA to ensure your digital product works for every user.

Why Hire a Specialist?

Automated tools find only 30% of accessibility issues. The remaining 70% require manual testing — the kind only a trained specialist can perform.

As an Accessibility and QA professional, I combine:

  • Accessibility standards (WCAG 2.2) expertise
  • Manual QA testing discipline
  • Screen-reader testing expertise
  • Automated scan verification
  • Cross-browser functional testing

This holistic approach ensures nothing gets missed.
