A practical route to Directive compliance
For public bodies that need to audit an existing website, prioritise remediation and update their accessibility statement with current evidence.
Read the public-sector guideShould you fix, maintain, migrate or replace the site?
Colabs audits existing websites that have become difficult to change, inaccessible or risky to maintain. You receive a prioritised account of what is wrong, what matters most and whether the site should be fixed, supported, migrated or replaced.
Website audits from €500 excl. VAT. You receive a defined scope and fixed price before work begins.
Website audit
What the website audit covers
The standard scope looks at the technical structure, update path, shared templates, problems editors face and the tasks visitors need to complete. We reproduce reported problems and trace fragile dependencies where access allows.
The audit includes a review of major accessibility barriers in the selected tasks. A full WCAG 2.2 AA audit, security testing, analytics analysis or an exhaustive performance review can be scoped separately when needed.
What you receive
- A written list of findings prioritised by risk, user impact and urgency
- A clear recommendation: keep and improve the site, stabilise it, migrate it or replace it
- A findings walkthrough where your team can ask questions
- A proposed scope for fixes, ongoing support or migration
- Findings your own team or another supplier can also use

Website audits start at €500 excl. VAT
The starting price applies to a small website or one tightly defined question with a limited sample. Larger platforms, authenticated areas, integrations and specialist testing are scoped separately.

Senior support for inherited websites.
More than 20 years of website work has included Drupal, custom code, frontend systems and platforms maintained by several suppliers over time.
The recommendation may be to keep and improve the current website. A rebuild only makes sense when the evidence supports it.
Process
How the website audit works
1. Agree the scope
Share the URL and tell us what visitors, editors or developers are struggling with.
2. Review the selected areas
We inspect the technical setup, publishing problems, visitor tasks and major accessibility barriers.
3. Prioritise the findings
We separate urgent risks from maintenance work and longer-term choices.
4. Walk through the recommendation
You receive the written findings and can question the proposed direction.
5. Choose what happens next
Your team can use the report, or Colabs can estimate the fixes, support or migration work.
Unsure what your existing website needs?
Send us the URL and tell us what is becoming difficult. No system access is needed for the first conversation. We will propose the audit scope, expected timing and estimate before the review begins.
