Two Critical Audit Tracks

Every audit covers both dimensions of ethical web design — deceptive UX and accessibility barriers.

Dark Pattern Audit

We identify manipulative interface patterns designed to trick users into actions they didn't intend — subscription traps, hidden fees, misleading defaults, and more.

  • Roach motel / forced continuity
  • Hidden costs and drip pricing
  • Confirmshaming and guilt UI
  • Misleading urgency and scarcity
  • Trick questions and pre-checked boxes
  • Disguised ads and misdirection
  • Privacy zuckering (consent dark patterns)
Laws covered: FTC Act § 5, CCPA/CPRA, COPPA, CAN-SPAM, California AB 2273

Accessibility Audit

We evaluate conformance against WCAG 2.2 AA — the standard cited by the ADA — and identify barriers that exclude users with visual, motor, cognitive, and auditory disabilities.

  • Missing or poor alt text on images
  • Insufficient color contrast ratios
  • Keyboard navigation failures
  • Missing ARIA labels and landmarks
  • Form fields without accessible labels
  • Videos without captions or transcripts
  • Focus order and skip navigation
Laws covered: ADA Title III, Section 508, Unruh Civil Rights Act, NYSHRL, state-specific laws

Our 1–10 Compliance Rating

Every audit produces a single score from 1 (excellent) to 10 (critical violations). The score reflects the number, severity, and legal exposure of all issues found.

1–2

Excellent

3–4

Good

Some improvements recommended.

5–6

Fair

Moderate violations. Action advised.
