How can B2B companies audit their websites for Barrierefreiheitsstärkungsgesetz compliance?

A comprehensive audit for Barrierefreiheitsstärkungsgesetz compliance involves a combination of automated scans and manual testing methodologies. Automated tools are highly effective at identifying basic technical errors such as missing image alt text and insufficient color contrast. However, these automated scans typically detect only a portion of actual accessibility barriers on a website. Manual testing is therefore essential to evaluate complex user journeys, interactive forms, and keyboard navigation. Your internal teams or external partners should navigate the website using screen readers and keyboard-only controls to simulate real-world usage. Documenting the findings of this audit helps establish a clear roadmap for necessary technical remediation. It also provides valuable evidence of compliance if requested by regulatory authorities in the future. Regular audits ensure that your digital presence remains compliant as new content is published. Partnering with experienced digital agencies can streamline this complex auditing process significantly.
