About us

Accessibility testing that shows its work

We are a company based in Tallinn, Estonia. We test websites and web apps for organisations across the EU, and we publish how we do it.

Why we built this

Since the European Accessibility Act took effect, many businesses want to know where they stand. What they often find are vague seals, widgets that promise compliance at the push of a button, and prices only on request. We wanted the opposite: a test you can follow, a price you can see and a result anyone can verify.

Our company is registered in Estonia; its name, address and register details are in the legal notice. The company also builds websites. When we test a site we built ourselves, the certificate says “tested by an affiliated company”, so everyone can judge it.

Who reviews: a person decides every criterion, and the report names who reviewed it. How we work is set out in our test method.

What we stand for

No overlays

We never use or sell overlay widgets. Accessibility is fixed in the code, not painted over in the browser. Why

Public prices

Auto-Scan, audit and monitoring have fixed prices on our pricing page. Only very large projects are quoted individually.

Published method

Our test method and all 55 criteria are public, including what a machine can and cannot judge.

A person decides

No criterion is ever marked as passed automatically. A certificate is issued only when a person has decided all 55 and none failed.

Verifiable results

Every certificate has a public verification page with scope, standard, test date and expiry. It can be withdrawn, and the page shows that too.

Honest limits

A certificate is a snapshot of a tested version. It is not legal advice and not a promise that you meet every law.

Our method in short

  1. Sample

    Pages chosen per the W3C method WCAG-EM: one per template, plus forms and key journeys.

  2. Scan

    Automatic checks with screenshots as evidence. The scanner never clicks, submits or logs in.

  3. Decide

    A person decides all 55 WCAG 2.2 AA criteria and tests with a screen reader.

Who reviews your site

Every audit is carried out by people. This is how the work is shared.

  • Markus Behmann

    Managing director

  • Reviewer

    Decides each of the 55 criteria and carries out the screen-reader test. The report names who reviewed it.

  • Scanner

    Prepares findings and evidence as suggestions. It never sets a criterion to “passed” on its own.

Frequently asked questions

Why a company in Estonia?

We are an Estonian company and work across the EU. The accessibility rules are based on the same EU directive in every member state, and our test standard, WCAG 2.2 AA, is the same everywhere.

Are you an official certification body?

No. Our certificate is our own private mark. It documents a test result; it is not a decision of any authority.
