How do you make a website accessible and compliant?
Adopt WCAG 2.2 AA (plus EN 301 549 in the EU), name an owner, list everything in scope, test with automated tools, manual checks and screen readers, fix by severity at the source, publish an honest accessibility statement, train each role and keep evidence. The Digital Accessibility Compliance Kit from Bodhih Training has a file for every step.

You already feel the problem. Here is what it is costing you.
Nobody knows if you would pass
A scanner report says 34 errors, mostly contrast, and everyone relaxes. Then a screen reader user cannot find the Pay button. You need a method that finds what matters.
The law depends on where you sell
The European Accessibility Act, the ADA, the UK Equality Act and the Canadian, Australian and New Zealand rules each have their own hook, enforcer and dates. You need one map with official links.
Ninety issues and no order
An audit hands you a long list. Without severity rules, owners and fix-by targets, the easy issues get fixed and the blockers wait.
It slides back after the project
New releases, new videos and new suppliers add new barriers every month. You need habits, training, evidence and a dashboard leaders actually read.
Picture the next few weeks with the kit open beside you.
Imagine the next time a leader asks 'would we pass?'. You open the Accessibility Programme Workbook and the Dashboard shows, in numbers and colours, no open blockers, the backlog falling month by month, the practices still below target and the four suppliers who owe you a report.
As you fill in the Self-assessment, notice how the gaps sort themselves: the Action plan sheet ranks them by gap times impact, so the next 90 days write themselves. When the audit arrives, the Issue log gives every finding a severity, an owner and a fix-by date.
Take the Leadership Sign-off Memo to your sponsor with the business case ranges already filled in from the calculator. Publish your accessibility statement from the template, honestly. Run the 45-minute briefing with your designers on Thursday and import the knowledge check into your learning system the same afternoon.
Whether you start with the keyboard test tonight or the self-assessment at tomorrow's stand-up, the next step is small and the file for it is already open.

Automated testing runs rules over the code: missing alt attributes, contrast ratios, missing labels, empty buttons. It is fast, cheap and repeatable, so run it on every release. But it cannot judge whether alt text is meaningful, whether focus order makes sense, or whether a task can be completed. Manual testing is a skilled person checking the page against the criteria: keyboard only, focus visibility and order, zoom and reflow, colour use, time limits, motion, error handling and the meaning of text alternatives. Assistive-technology testing uses the tools disabled people use: a screen reader on desktop and mobile, magnification, voice control. It shows whether names, roles, states and announcements work in practice. Testing with disabled people, paid for their time, goes one step further and shows whether the service is usable, not just technically correct.
The honest comparison
| Free templates and typical advice | This kit | |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | A WCAG checklist copied from the web, often for an older version | WCAG 2.2 AA in plain words, mapped to EN 301 549, with role checklists |
| Law | One country, often undated | A crosswalk of seven markets plus India, and a dated sheet with official links checked in November 2026 |
| Where you stand | An automated scan score | A 0-4 maturity self-assessment that ranks gaps by impact and feeds an action plan |
| Audit and fixes | A list of errors with no order | Test plan, severity rules, fix-by targets, burn-down and verification |
| Proof | Nothing to show a board, buyer or regulator | Evidence register, exceptions log, sign-off memo, statement and quarterly report |
| Against a consultant or software | Consultants and testing tools do the testing and advising | Organises your whole programme around them, so you buy expert testing and legal advice where they add most |
Made for you if…
- Digital product managers and heads of e-commerce who have been asked 'would we pass?'

The Digital Accessibility Compliance Kit: FAQs
Read the free guideAlready bought? Resend my linkIs WCAG 2.2 AA required by law?
It depends on the market and sector. EU rules use EN 301 549, which is moving to WCAG 2.2; UK and New Zealand public sector rules use WCAG 2.2 AA; the US ADA Title II rule and Section 508 use older versions; many private-sector duties name no version at all. Building to WCAG 2.2 AA covers the older versions too. The dated sheet lists each market with official links.
Does the European Accessibility Act apply to my online shop if we are based outside the EU?
It can. The Act covers listed services, including e-commerce, provided to consumers in the EU, and microenterprise exemptions apply only to very small service providers. The kit's crosswalk explains the logic and links to the official text; ask your adviser to confirm your position.
Can I run an accessibility programme without hiring a consultant?
You can run most of it yourself: ownership, scope, self-assessment, automated and keyboard testing, severity rules, fixes, the statement, procurement and training. Many organisations still hire an experienced tester for the first screen reader baseline and a lawyer for legal questions. The kit helps you use both well.
How long does a website accessibility audit take?
For a mid-size site sampled by template and task (20 to 40 pages and screens), a baseline audit typically takes one to two weeks of testing plus reporting. The worked example ran from 7 to 17 April. The Audit Test Plan form helps you scope it so the time goes on the tasks that matter.
What does a digital accessibility programme cost?
It depends on your size, your starting point and what you outsource. The Business Case Calculator lets you put in your own hours, rates and quotes, and compares them with a labelled range for the cost of doing nothing. The sample case is a year 1 plan of €117,500 for a 90-person retailer, built from that company's own estimates.
Do accessibility overlays make a website compliant?
No. Overlays change the page in the browser but do not fix your source code. The European Commission says overlays are not an appropriate solution under the Web Accessibility Directive, and in April 2025 the US FTC approved a final order against one overlay provider over unsupported compliance claims. Chapter 9 explains what to do instead.
What is a VPAT or ACR and do I need one?
A VPAT is a blank template from the Information Technology Industry Council; a supplier's completed version is an Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR). Ask your suppliers for one and test the parts your users touch. If you sell software to governments or large companies, they will often ask you for one too.
Do I need an accessibility statement in the UK or the US?
UK and EU public sector bodies and Canadian federally regulated organisations must publish one; EU service providers must publish information on how their services meet the EAA. US private businesses are not required to by federal law, but a clear, honest statement with a feedback route is good practice everywhere. The template covers both.
Can I use this with my team?
Yes, within your own organisation under the personal licence: run the briefing, import the knowledge check into Bodhih LMS or any LMS, and share the templates with colleagues. Company-wide and multi-site licences are available from solutions@bodhih.com.
Does it work in my country?
The method is universal. The dated sheet covers the EU, the Netherlands, the US, the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and India at November 2026. Laws change and differ by sector, so check the official source and your adviser. The kit is educational; it is not legal advice, an audit or a certification.
How can I measure my team's accessibility skills before and after?
Use the kit's knowledge check for a quick read. For a deeper measure of your starting point, AssessAll offers the Digital Accessibility and Inclusive Design Judgment assessment, plus Digital Competence and Cross-Cultural and Inclusive Leadership assessments for wider teams.
How do I turn the programme into personal development goals?
Pick one habit per role from the checklists and set it as a goal. Jobulary's guide to the WOOP method shows how to set goals you actually reach, which suits habits like checking contrast before hand-off or keyboard-testing your own change.
How much does The Digital Accessibility Compliance Kit cost?
₹1,499 including 18% GST for buyers in India, or $39 for buyers outside India. One-time payment, no subscription, with an automatic invoice.
How do I get the files after paying?
Instantly. Your download page opens the moment payment succeeds, and a permanent download link is emailed to you. Download each file separately or everything in one ZIP.
What software do I need?
Any of the usual tools: Excel or Google Sheets for spreadsheets, Word or Google Docs for templates, Adobe Acrobat Reader, Preview, Xodo or GoodNotes for the fillable PDFs, and Google, Outlook or Apple Calendar for the calendar plan.
Can I get a refund?
Because it is a digital download, kits are not refundable once downloaded. We always refund a duplicate charge or a failed delivery, and if a file is corrupted and we cannot fix it within 3 working days. Full terms: bodhih.org/refunds.
Can my company buy this for a team?
Yes. Team and company licences, and workshops on this topic run by Bodhih Training, are available. Write to solutions@bodhih.com or call +91 99000 11601.
