Audit Process
A full BFSG audit runs in three phases:
- 1
Automated Scan
1–2 hoursAxe-core, Lighthouse and WAVE check all WCAG 2.1 AA technical criteria. Detects approx. 30–40% of all issues: missing alt texts, color contrast violations, missing form labels, page language, heading hierarchy.
- 2
Manual Testing
4–8 hoursKeyboard navigation, screen reader testing (NVDA/VoiceOver), zoom test at 200% and 400%, cognitive test for understandability. The remaining 60–70% of issues that no automated tool detects.
- 3
Report & Conformity Declaration
2–3 hoursPrioritized issue list (critical / medium / minor), fix instructions for each problem, effort estimate. Optional: conformity declaration per BFSG §16 as legal proof.
