The question you cannot answer
Sooner or later a client asks whether their site meets the European Accessibility Act. You cannot honestly say yes — nobody can say that about a site they did not test by hand, and saying it moves the liability onto you. You would rather not say no either, because you built the thing.
What we can give you is not an answer to that question. It is something better to hand over: a dated record, produced every week, of what an automated check can see and what it could not decide. It does not say the site is fine. It says what changed, and where.
What arrives
- One email, not twenty. Every site added under the same address comes back in a single message, each with its own section. We measured this with twenty sites: the whole email was about eight kilobytes, and all twenty were visible in it.
- What changed comes first. Before the list of findings, the report says what is new since the last scan and what is no longer detected. That is the part worth reading when you are busy.
- Where to fix it. On the paid plan each problem comes with the CSS selector and the page it sits on, up to twenty-five places per issue. That is a work list, not a grade.
- Something to forward. The report is a plain page with a date on it. You can send it to the client as it is.
What this is not
We would rather you find this out here than after paying.
- It does not say your client is compliant. No automated tool can honestly say that, and we never will.
- There is no badge and no certificate. If a client wants a seal for the footer, we are the wrong supplier.
- There is no white-label report today. The report carries our name. We are not going to describe something we have not built.
- We do not fix anything and we put no code on any site. We open public pages from our own machines.
- Automated checks find roughly a third of the barriers a real person would hit. The rest needs someone to sit down with the page.
- We do not check that you own the site you add. Anything public can be watched, by anyone.
What it costs for a lot of sites
Today the paid plan is bought per site, which is a sensible answer for one site and a silly answer for twenty. There is no agency tariff printed on this page because nobody has asked us for one yet, and we would rather ask you than invent a number.
Write to hello@scandiary.com with how many sites you look after and we will work out a price with you. One thing we will tell you before you ask: joining many sites onto one address works today, but a single payment covering many sites does not — we would be setting those up by hand at first, and we would rather say so than let you find out afterwards.
The free plan does not cap how many sites one person watches, so you can put a few client sites on it this afternoon and see what comes back on Monday before any money changes hands.
