We audit against the same four principles WCAG is built on.
Perceivable
People need to be able to sense your content, whatever their eyes or ears are doing. Alt text, captions, contrast.
Operable
Every interaction should work without a mouse — keyboard, switch device, or voice control.
Understandable
Language and layout shouldn’t require guessing. Clear labels, consistent navigation, helpful errors.
Robust
Your site should hold up in a screen reader, a five-year-old browser, or one we haven’t seen yet.
