Legal and Accessibility Checks
We check websites and online services, your own or ones your business relies on, for missing or out-of-date legal information and for accessibility barriers. Finding these early helps reduce the risk of legal problems.
What we check
Legal checks
Whether the website or service has the information and notices it should, such as privacy information and cookie consent, and whether they are up to date.
Accessibility checks
Whether disabled people can use the website or service, checked against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).
A written report
What we found, why it matters and what to change, in plain English. If we look after the website, we can make the fixes for you.
The checks are not legal advice. For advice on your particular situation, speak to a solicitor.

Frequently asked questions
Can you check a website you did not build?
Yes. We check websites and online services built by others, including ones from another supplier that your business relies on.
What if someone else looks after our website?
The report is yours, so you can give it to whoever looks after the website. If it is a WordPress website, we can take over its care through WordPress Support.
Is this the same as the accessibility work in a new website?
No. Every website we build has accessibility designed in from the start; see Website Design. These checks are for a website or service that already exists.
Do the checks cover security?
No. For the IT systems your business runs on, see IT Security Audit. A security review of a WordPress website is part of WordPress Support.
What does a check cost?
Checks are priced on enquiry. We confirm what the check will cover and the price in writing before we start. No VAT is added.
