Needs analysis before the project
The needs analysis shows with a full findings report where a website stands before anyone orders an audit or writes a proposal. It is free and explicitly issues no seal: a proof that came for free would be no proof.
What is measured
These audit areas carry the topic. Each leads to its checks with explanation, measurement path and remedy.
- Accessibility (WCAG 2.2 AA)Measured in a real browser across three device profiles. A substantial share of these criteria cannot be decided by a machine; those stay visibly open until a human auditor has ruled on them.86 articles
- Data protection & cookiesWhat loads before any consent, whether pressing “reject” actually stops it, cookies set before a choice was made, remotely loaded web fonts, and the presence of a privacy notice.15 articles
- Search engine optimisationTitles and descriptions, heading structure, internal linking, structured data.30 articles
- Loading performanceLoading behaviour, responsiveness, layout stability, measured rather than estimated.8 articles
For website operators
As the first step of a certification: the analysis shows the findings with location and remedy. Then you decide whether to order the audit with seal.
For agencies and organisations
- Activated partners start with 10 analyses; 10 are added for every certificate sold, credited along the support chain.
- The trial access for agencies allows 2 analyses per day until activation is complete.
- The analysis proves the need of a customer website in black and white before money is discussed.
