WCAG testing and web accessibility
Your website, app and documents have to work for blind and visually impaired people: for those who use a screen reader, magnification or only a keyboard. I have used a screen reader every day for more than 20 years. I test and advise so your digital products hold up in practice, not only on paper.
EA Accessibility Scanner
How accessible are your website and documents?
Here you can check your website or a PDF document, for free. A website is checked on five pages against WCAG 2.2, a PDF document against PDF/UA. Choose what you want to check and see the result right away. The full report comes as a PDF.
Most frequent
The tool found no failures it is sure about. The report says what it cannot see.
Documents
Get the report
The report covers the five pages: every defect type explained in plain language, with WCAG criterion, consequence for the user, fix and examples from your pages. As a page with a link for 30 days and as a PDF.
The report is free, but not anonymous. To get it you give your name, company, email and phone. Within two working days I call and talk the report through with you. On the call I offer a manual test of the website and a full report of the whole website, not just the five pages. Both are paid services. Whether you buy anything is up to you.
Is it your website? How to let the scanner in
Who it is for: public bodies, companies with a WCAG 2.2 AA requirement, agencies and developers.
Deliverables: report, walkthrough, retest and statement.
Languages: Danish and English.
Related case: National Apartment Association, USA. Screen reader test of an interactive map, report with findings and recommendations for the vendor.
What you get
A report you can act on. Every issue with its WCAG criterion, where it is, what it means for the user, and how to fix it. Sorted by severity.
A walkthrough with your developers, so the fixes are right the first time.
A retest once you have fixed things.
A statement you can publish on what was tested, how, and what was found.
Advice on requirements and law for your situation, and what to do first.

I have used a screen reader every day for more than 20 years.
What automated tools miss, I find, because I use your site the way your users do.
WCAG testing
Automated tools do not find every problem. They find some, but the rest you only find by using the site the way a real user does. I do both.
- Manual testing with real assistive technology. JAWS and NVDA on Windows, VoiceOver on Mac and iPhone, TalkBack on Android. Keyboard only. Zoom to 400 percent and ZoomText.
- Automated scanning of every page as a supplement.
- A report you can act on. Every issue with its WCAG criterion, where it is, what it means for the user, and how to fix it. Sorted by severity.
- A walkthrough with your developers, so the fixes are right the first time.
- A retest once you have fixed things, and a statement from me on what was tested, how, and what was found. Publish it if you wish.
Advice and documents
- Requirements and law. What WCAG 2.2, EN 301 549, the Web Accessibility Directive and the European Accessibility Act mean for you, and what to do first.
- PDF and documents. I make your PDFs, Word templates and forms readable with a screen reader.
- Usability testing with me as a blind user. Honest feedback from someone who uses the technology every day.
- In from the start. I take part in design and development so accessibility is built in rather than fixed afterwards.
How it works
Discovery call. We agree what to test, who the users are, and what you need the result for.
The work. Testing or advice, as agreed.
Report and walkthrough. You get the result and a meeting where we go through it.
Fixes and retest. You fix, I retest, and you get the statement.
Questions and answers
Do you need access to our code?
No. I test as a user, with the address of the site or access to the app. The walkthrough with your developers happens with the report in hand.
Do you test against WCAG 2.1 or 2.2?
I test against WCAG 2.2 at level AA. Every 2.1 criterion is included, so you are covered whichever version your requirement refers to.
Can we publish the statement?
Yes. It describes what was tested, how, and what was found, and it is written so you can put it on your site.
Clients and cases
- Task
- As a customer I could not log in to the online bank from the bank's website with a screen reader. I wrote to the bank, which led to a meeting and a quote for an accessibility test of the whole website. I went through midspar.dk with a screen reader and keyboard against WCAG.
He found things our tools had not caught. A good reminder that tools and data can take us far, but they cannot always replace the people who actually use what we build.
Christina Welling, head of digital marketing, Middelfart Sparekasse, translated from Danish.
- Task
- The organisation's government affairs team had bought a new interactive map as an ArcGIS dashboard and needed to know whether it met their accessibility requirements. I went through the map with a screen reader and tested contrast, alternative text and keyboard operation.
Edis did an excellent job preparing a report for our team. We look forward to working with him again in the future.
James Betterson, National Apartment Association.
- Task
- A table from the organisation's website had to become an accessible PDF. I rebuilt the table in Word and tagged it in Adobe Acrobat with reading order, header cells and alternative text, so screen reader users can read it cell by cell.
Edis did an excellent job making our PDF accessible and we are looking forward to working with him again soon!
James Betterson, National Apartment Association.
- Task
- Expert interview as input to the development of a new assistive technology product for people with limited mobility. The team wanted to hear how assistive technology is used in practice, and where it fails.
Edis's thoughtful feedback and keen insights were instrumental in helping us refine our product. His ability to articulate ideas clearly and provide well-considered feedback was a testament to his expertise and commitment to the field of assistive technology. I highly recommend his services to anyone seeking a professional with both expertise and a heart for impactful work.
Matthew Lavoie, Amiron Ventures.
