Accessiblity Auditing of Website for Angle Studios and Scrummi


Project Details

Client: European digital service
Service: Website Accessibility Audit
Standard: WCAG 2.2 Level AA
Project partners: Angle Studio and Scrummi

Angle Studio wanted to help its client understand its digital accessibility responsibilities and the improvements needed across its website.

The project combined accessibility auditing, inclusive design thinking and technical guidance to help move identified issues from audit to design and implementation.

Quick Overview

A WCAG 2.2 Level AA accessibility audit was completed for a European digital service in partnership with Angle Studio and Scrummi.

The review examined barriers affecting people who use keyboards, screen readers, magnification and other assistive technologies. Testing covered navigation, colour contrast, forms, headings, focus visibility, zoom, responsive reflow and cognitive accessibility.

The client received a structured findings report with screenshots, plain-English explanations, WCAG references, technical remediation guidance and a prioritised improvement roadmap.

By connecting the audit with design and development support, the project gave the client clear, practical actions for creating a more accessible and inclusive digital service.

Project Overview

Understanding the challenge

Websites can appear visually polished while still creating significant barriers for disabled users.

The review considered people who:

  • Navigate using a keyboard

  • Use screen-reading software

  • Enlarge or zoom content

  • Require sufficient colour contrast

  • Benefit from clearly labelled forms

  • Experience visual, motor, cognitive or neurodivergent barriers

The objective was to identify these barriers and provide clear, achievable guidance for improving the website.

Developing the approach

A structured accessibility audit was carried out against WCAG 2.2 Level AA.

Testing included:

  • Keyboard-only navigation

  • Screen-reader compatibility

  • Colour contrast analysis

  • Zoom and responsive reflow testing

  • Form labels, instructions and error messages

  • Headings, links and page structure

  • Focus visibility and navigation order

  • General usability and cognitive accessibility

The approach combined technical assessment with practical consideration of how disabled people would experience the service.

The Findings

Showing the barriers

The audit identified issues including:

  • Navigation that was difficult to operate using a keyboard

  • Insufficient colour contrast in some interface elements

  • Form fields that were not clearly labelled for screen-reader users

  • Content and controls becoming difficult to use at higher zoom levels

Each issue was supported by:

  • Screenshots demonstrating the barrier

  • Plain-English explanations

  • Relevant WCAG references

  • Examples of the potential effect on users

  • Practical recommendations for improvement

This enabled the client to understand both the technical issue and its real-world impact.

Turning findings into improvements

The findings were prioritised according to their severity and effect on users.

Following the audit:

  • Inclusive design recommendations were explored with Angle Studio.

  • Technical remediation guidance was provided to support implementation with Scrummi.

  • Urgent barriers and achievable improvements were clearly identified.

  • Longer-term recommendations were provided to support more accessible digital development.

This collaborative approach connected accessibility auditing with the design and development process.

The final Outcome

Delivering the outcome

The organisation received:

✔ A structured accessibility findings report
✔ WCAG-aligned identification of issues
✔ Screenshots demonstrating accessibility barriers
✔ Practical recommendations for designers and developers
✔ Technical remediation guidance
✔ A prioritised accessibility improvement roadmap

The audit gave the client a clear understanding of the barriers within its website and the actions required to create a more inclusive and usable digital service.

Why accessibility testing matters

Accessibility testing helps organisations:

  • Identify barriers affecting disabled people

  • Improve usability for a wider audience

  • Work towards recognised accessibility standards

  • Understand and prioritise necessary improvements

  • Build accessibility into future design and development

  • Strengthen inclusive digital services


Client's kind words:

“I wanted to advise a client on their accessibility responsibilities, as they operate in Europe and needed to be compliant. I spoke to Harrison and, after an initial discussion, the report was fantastic.

He audited our client’s website and provided a detailed analysis, which enabled our client to understand the necessary actions fully. Harrison is unique compared to other experts as he lives and breathes accessibility, plus he’s an all-round great guy—nothing is too much trouble.”
