How to Audit a Web Page: Behind the Scenes on Equalize Digital's Process
Details
Ever wondered what actually goes into a professional accessibility audit? Looking for tips to include in your own auditing process? In this session, Amber Hinds, CEO of Equalize Digital, pulls back the curtain on the real-world process her team uses to audit web pages for accessibility.
Amber will walk through how a single page is evaluated from start to finish—covering automated tools, manual testing techniques, screen reader usage, and how findings are documented in a way that’s clear, actionable, and aligned with WCAG. You’ll get an inside look at the audit site Equalize Digital built to manage their issues library, which speeds up report creation.
This behind-the-scenes session is ideal for:
- Accessibility testers and auditors
- Developers and designers who want to understand audit expectations
- Agencies and teams delivering accessibility reports to clients
- Anyone curious about what makes an audit thorough, accurate, and trustworthy
Attendees will leave with a better understanding of how to test and report findings, along with remediation guidance that teams can actually use.
