exauditor

We audit company websites for accessibility, the EU AI Act and GDPR. You get a report your developers can act on straight away.

See which rules apply to you

Exauditor is Latin for the one who listens. We listen to your site as a screen reader does.

Audits and prices

Three audits, separately or together. Tick what your website has, and the price list next to it shows which rules apply to you and what the check costs.

What does your website have?

Since 28 June 2025 the European Accessibility Act covers consumer services such as e-commerce, consumer banking, e-books, telecoms and the websites, apps and e-tickets of passenger transport. From 2 August 2026 an AI chat must tell users it is AI, unless that is obvious. Analytics and ad pixels need cookie consent.

We measure, not guess

Light grey text on white looks elegant and is unreadable for many people. For normal text WCAG requires a contrast of at least 4.5 to 1. The popular grey #999 has 2.85. We log every gap like this with the criterion number, the place on the page and a replacement colour.

Eight working days

We test by hand, with a keyboard and a screen reader. Automated tools catch only part of the issues, so for us they are the start, not the result.

Before you order

Does the European Accessibility Act apply to us?

If you sell online to consumers in the EU, run consumer banking or telecoms, or sell e-books or e-tickets, most likely yes, since 28 June 2025. Microenterprises (fewer than 10 staff and up to €2 million turnover or balance sheet) are exempt for services, not for products. A plain B2B company website is generally not covered.

Is an overlay or an automated test enough?

No. An overlay does not fix the site’s code, and an automated test cannot tell whether a product can be bought with a keyboard alone or whether a screen reader announces a form error. That has to be checked by hand.

What exactly do we get?

A PDF report and a spreadsheet. Each issue has its own card: the rule or WCAG criterion, the address and place on the page, a screenshot, who it blocks, how to fix it and its priority. Plus a one-hour walkthrough with your team.

Do you fix the site for us?

No, so the auditor never checks their own work. The report is written for developers, and after your fixes we re-check every reported issue, included in the price.

Do we have to label images made with AI?

Not all of them. If you publish deepfakes (AI images, audio or video that could pass for real people, objects, places or events), you must disclose them. An illustration that misleads no one needs no visible label; the tool that made it must mark its output in a machine-readable way anyway. From 2 August 2026 a chat must tell users it is AI, unless that is obvious; the chat’s provider must build this in, so we check whether yours does.

How long does it take, and what do you need?

Eight working days from the day we get access. We need the site’s address, a test account if there is a login, and a list of the tools the site loads, if you have one.
