About this report
This report answers one question: can people successfully understand, navigate and complete important journeys on this website, regardless of device, ability or interaction method? 6 specialists examined the experience, from accessibility and mobile interaction to forms and cognitive load.
Every priority below is traceable to page-level observations and specialist evidence. Verified technical failures, observed interaction failures, heuristic findings and behavioural friction are labelled differently, because they carry different weight. Anything we could not verify directly is clearly marked as a lower-confidence concern.
* How this score works -
UX & Accessibility Readiness combines the five dimension scores measured in this report (each scored 1-10, displayed as a percentage). It is a PersonaQA diagnostic score derived from the barriers and friction detected during the tested journeys. It is not a certification of WCAG compliance.
Executive summary
Navigation barriers and missing conversion signals block task completion despite strong credibility positioning
Example's website establishes deep expertise and institutional credibility through museum partnerships, named case studies, and 20+ years of experience. However, three critical barriers prevent conversion: the mobile navigation menu is non-functional (only 1 of 11 links visible), pricing information is absent across all pages, and course enrollment mechanics are unclear. These barriers affect mobile visitors (who cannot discover Services or Contact pages), cost-conscious prospects (who cannot self-qualify), and course buyers (who cannot enroll or see start dates). The site succeeds at proving capability but fails to guide visitors toward purchase.
How usable is this experience?
PersonaQA looks at the experience from several perspectives. Scores are PersonaQA diagnostics derived from what the specialists observed — not a certification of accessibility compliance.

Accessibility
70/100
What's holding you back
- Primary CTA buttons measure 2.12:1 contrast, well below the 4.5:1 WCAG AA reference.
- Social media footer links expose no accessible name, so assistive technology announces them without a destination.
- Mobile navigation menu is non-functional, blocking keyboard access to secondary pages.
- Five logo images reported with no alt text (cognitive load audit).
Highest-impact improvement
- Fix contrast on primary CTAs immediately, add aria-labels to social icons, and repair mobile menu scrollability to restore keyboard navigation access.
Supporting evidence
Strong fundamentals: proper heading hierarchy, no missing form labels, and otherwise sound ARIA implementation. Two significant contrast shortfalls on primary CTAs (2.12:1 vs the 4.5:1 reference) and five social media links without aria-labels create barriers for low-vision and keyboard users.

Cognitive Clarity
60/100
What's holding you back
- Dense case study narrative could benefit from subheadings or pull quotes for scannability.
- Navigation menu lacks grouping; 8 items create choice paralysis.
- Service pages do not clarify business stage served (startups vs established brands).
- Homepage mentions both hands-on production and consulting without clear distinction.
Highest-impact improvement
- Break dense case study narrative into scannable sections with subheadings, group navigation items (e.g., 'Learn' dropdown for Blog/Press/Resources), and clarify service positioning for different business stages.
Supporting evidence
Client logos and bullet-point credentials reduce cognitive load effectively. However, the flagship case study block contains ~200 words of continuous narrative requiring sustained attention. Navigation menu has 8 items (high for cognitive load). Service pages lack clarity on business stage served (startups vs established brands) and whether service is hands-on production or consulting.

Mobile Experience
30/100
What's holding you back
- Mobile menu completely blocks access to Services, Contact, and course enrollment.
- Fixed elements create visual obstruction and interaction friction.
- Undersized icon tap targets cause interaction errors.
- No indication that menu content extends below fold.
Highest-impact improvement
- Implement a fully scrollable or restructured mobile menu with clear scroll affordance, remove fixed element overlap, increase icon tap targets to minimum 44x44px, and test menu discoverability on small screens.
Supporting evidence
Mobile experience is severely compromised by broken navigation menu (only 1 of 11 links visible), fixed element overlap, and undersized tap targets (20x20px icons). Touch targets are generally appropriately sized elsewhere, but the navigation barrier is critical and blocks access to primary conversion paths (Services, Contact, Get the Course).

Journey Completion
40/100
What's holding you back
- No pricing transparency across services or course pages creates decision friction.
- Course enrollment path unclear: 'Register Your Interest' does not lead to purchase or enrollment.
- Mobile menu renders inaccessible, blocking discovery of key conversion paths.
- No 'What to Expect' guidance for strategy call, reducing confidence in booking.
Highest-impact improvement
- Add pricing ranges or ballpark investment figures, clarify course enrollment mechanics and start dates, repair mobile menu to restore navigation access, and provide clear expectations for strategy calls.
Supporting evidence
Multiple blockers prevent task completion: no pricing information blocks cost assessment and self-qualification; 'Register Your Interest' on course page offers no enrollment or timeline; no clear next steps after 'Book a Strategy Call' CTAs; broken mobile navigation blocks access to conversion paths. Desktop case studies are discoverable but lack outcome specificity.

Do controls behave as expected?
Interaction Usability
90/100
What's holding you back
- Mobile navigation failures block discovery of Services, Contact and Get the Course — scored under Mobile Experience; desktop controls behave as expected.
- Fixed elements create visual obstruction and interaction friction on mobile.
- Case study and testimonial sections rely on link styling alone for discoverability.
- No visual feedback or affordance on interactive elements.
Highest-impact improvement
- Implement a scrollable or restructured mobile menu that displays all navigation items, remove fixed element overlap, and add clear visual affordances (borders, shadows, hover states) to interactive cards.
Supporting evidence
Mobile navigation is severely broken: only 1 of 11 links visible in viewport with no scroll affordance. Fixed elements (header, cookie banner, chat widget) overlap the open menu. Case study cards lack visual affordance to indicate clickability. Desktop experience is cleaner but still has interaction clarity issues.

Tailored Audit
Fashion & Production Consulting / Course Creator
Prioritised for: Fashion founders, emerging brands, and product creators seeking production expertise, supply chain guidance, and brand-building mentorship; mix of B2B consulting clients and B2C course/method buyers
Example is a personal brand and consulting/course business selling expertise and mentorship to fashion founders; trust in her credentials (a national museum, a heritage retailer) and clarity on what she offers (consulting vs. course vs. method) are critical; pricing transparency and conversion funnels matter; mobile UX and first-time visitor clarity are universal; security/compliance are irrelevant to this audience.
Strategic themes
The fixes below group into a few underlying themes. Tackling a theme as a whole tends to have a wider impact, compared to tackling individual recommendations.
Restore navigation access and discoverability on mobile devices
2 recommendations
The mobile navigation menu is non-functional (only 1 of 11 links visible), blocking access to Services, Contact, and course enrollment pages. Fixed elements (header, cookie banner, chat widget) overlap the open menu, creating visual obstruction. These barriers affect all mobile visitors and prevent discovery of secondary conversion paths. Fixing the menu structure and removing fixed element overlap will restore navigation access and enable mobile visitors to complete journeys.
1
Fix mobile navigation menu to display all links with scroll affordance
critical
🤖 Mobile UX Tester
/ (homepage)
Mobile visitors cannot access Services, Contact, or course enrollment pages because the navigation menu is non-functional. The broken menu and fixed element overlap create interaction friction and prevent discovery of secondary conversion paths. This affects all mobile visitors and is a deterministic blocker.
2
Fix color contrast on the main call-to-action buttons
critical
🤖 Accessibility Advocate
Users with low vision cannot read the main call-to-action buttons because the contrast ratio is too low. This is a significant accessibility barrier that excludes a meaningful user group from enrolling in courses or accessing main content.
Establish transparent pricing and clear enrollment mechanics to unblock conversion decisions
2 recommendations
Prospects cannot assess affordability or self-qualify before booking consultations because no pricing is visible on service pages. Course buyers cannot enroll or see start dates because the course page shows 'Register Your Interest' without enrollment details. These barriers force prospects to contact Example before they can make a decision, creating friction and abandonment. Adding pricing ranges, ballpark figures, course start dates, and clear enrollment mechanics will enable self-qualification and reduce decision friction.
3
Add transparent pricing or ballpark investment ranges to service and course pages
high
📱 Mobile-First User
Prospects cannot assess affordability or self-qualify before booking consultations. The absence of pricing creates decision friction and forces prospects to contact Example before they can evaluate fit. This is a barrier to self-service qualification and increases friction in the sales funnel.
4
Clarify course enrollment mechanics, start dates, and learning outcomes
high
📱 Mobile-First User
Prospects cannot understand what they will learn, when they can start, or whether the course is relevant to their situation. The 'Register Your Interest' button does not lead to enrollment or purchase, leaving prospects uncertain about the next step. This creates friction and abandonment.
Reduce conversion uncertainty through outcome-focused proof and proof from other customers
2 recommendations
Case studies and testimonials feature established brands and named artists, but lack proof from first-time or emerging customers at the same stage as the visitor. Service pages describe what Example offers but not what customers achieved or how their situation improved. Generic testimonials do not reduce uncertainty for prospects who have been burned by generic consultants. Adding outcome-focused case studies (timelines, measurable results, before-and-after examples) and testimonials from earlier-stage customers will increase relevance and reduce perceived risk.

/case-studies
Case studies and testimonials feature established brands, but lack proof from first-time or emerging customers. Prospects cannot see themselves in the examples and cannot assess whether Example can help them at their stage. This reduces relevance and increases perceived risk.
6
Add aria-labels to social media footer links
high
🤖 Mobile UX Tester
/ (homepage)
This is an accessibility barrier that makes the social profiles hard to reach for blind and low-vision users.
Fix critical accessibility barriers on primary conversion elements
1 recommendation
Two main call-to-action buttons ('Get the Course' and 'Skip to Content') measure 2.12:1 contrast against the 4.5:1 WCAG AA reference, making them hard to read for users with low vision. Five social media icons lack aria-labels, leaving assistive-technology users without a destination announcement. These barriers exclude real users and impact conversion on the course enrollment button. Fixing contrast ratios and adding aria-labels will restore access for these users.
7
Clarify service positioning and business stage served
medium
👋 First-Time Customer
/ (homepage)
Service pages lack clarity on whether services are hands-on production or consulting, and what business stage they serve. Prospects cannot quickly determine if a service is relevant to their situation and must contact Example for clarification. This creates friction and delays the sales cycle.
Prioritised improvements
We identified 9 issues — here are the 7 highest-impact. Listed by impact for your industry. Each fix shows why it matters, the evidence behind it, and the research framework it draws on.
1
Fix mobile navigation menu to display all links with scroll affordance
critical
Who this affects:
mobile visitors · touch device users · all mobile traffic
What we observed
Mobile visitors opened the navigation menu and saw only 1 of 11 links visible in the viewport. The remaining 10 links (Services, Contact, Get the Course, Blog, Press, 1:1 Mentoring, Case Studies, Resources, and duplicates) were hidden below the fold with no scroll indicator or affordance. Fixed elements (header, cookie banner, chat widget) overlapped the open menu, obstructing the visible link and reducing usability. Visitors could not discover key conversion paths and abandoned the menu.
Why it matters: Mobile traffic is a significant portion of web visitors. A non-functional mobile menu prevents mobile visitors from discovering services, contacting Example, or enrolling in courses. This directly reduces conversion rate and revenue from mobile devices.
View fix and supporting evidence
Fix this first
Implement a scrollable mobile menu or restructure navigation to fit all 11 links within viewport with scroll affordance. Remove fixed element overlap by hiding fixed elements when menu is open.
Further improvements
- Consider grouping related navigation items (Blog/Press/Resources under 'Learn' dropdown) to reduce menu items and improve scannability
- Add visual scroll indicator to menu to signal that more items are available below fold
- Test menu on smallest devices (320px width) to ensure usability across all mobile sizes
Evidence
2
Fix color contrast on the main call-to-action buttons
critical
Who this affects:
users with low vision · users with color blindness · all users in bright sunlight
What we observed
Users with low vision attempting to read the 'Get the Course' and 'Skip to Content' buttons encountered white text (rgb(255, 255, 255)) on a teal background (rgb(0, 201, 167)) with a measured contrast ratio of 2.12:1. This falls significantly short of the accessibility requirement of 4.5:1 for normal text. The buttons are critical user pathways but are illegible for users with low vision.
Why it matters: At 2.12:1 contrast, the course enrollment button is very hard to read for low-vision users, which blocks conversion for that group. Fixing contrast will enable low-vision users to enroll and widen accessible reach.
View fix and supporting evidence
Fix this first
Increase contrast ratio on 'Get the Course' and 'Skip to Content' buttons to at least 4.5:1 by darkening the teal background or changing text color.
Further improvements
- Audit all other buttons and links for contrast compliance
- Test contrast on mobile devices in bright sunlight
- Consider using a color palette with higher contrast ratios to prevent future failures
Evidence
3
Add transparent pricing or ballpark investment ranges to service and course pages
high
Who this affects:
cost-conscious prospects · first-time customers · emerging brands · all prospects seeking self-service information
What we observed
Prospects visiting the services pages (Artist Merchandise, Licensed Merchandise, Brand Growth) and the course page found no pricing information, cost ranges, or payment options. The course page showed 'Register Your Interest' without pricing or start dates. Prospects could not assess affordability or self-qualify before booking a consultation. This forced interested customers to contact Example before they could make a decision, creating friction and abandonment.
Why it matters: Prospects cannot self-qualify without pricing information. This delays the sales cycle, increases support burden (more inquiry emails), and causes abandonment from cost-conscious buyers. Adding pricing or ballpark ranges will enable self-qualification and reduce friction.
View fix and supporting evidence
Fix this first
Add a ballpark investment range or pricing note to each service page (Artist Merchandise, Licensed Merchandise, Brand Growth). Add course price, start date, and enrollment deadline to the course page.
Further improvements
- Consider offering a pricing calculator or questionnaire to help prospects estimate costs based on scope
- Add a 'What's Included' section to each service to justify pricing and set expectations
- Include payment plan options or financing information if available
Evidence
4
Clarify course enrollment mechanics, start dates, and learning outcomes
high
Who this affects:
course prospects · emerging artists · brand founders · all course buyers
What we observed
Prospects visiting the course page saw 'Register Your Interest' without pricing, start dates, or clear learning outcomes. The course cards presented course titles and brief descriptions but did not explain what students would be able to do after completion or provide testimonials from past students. Prospects could not assess whether the course would deliver value or when they could start. The page lacked a 'Who This Is For' section to help prospects self-qualify.
Why it matters: Prospects cannot enroll in courses because the enrollment mechanics are unclear. The 'Register Your Interest' button does not lead to purchase or enrollment, leaving prospects uncertain. Adding clear learning outcomes, start dates, and enrollment mechanics will enable course sales.
View fix and supporting evidence
Fix this first
Add course price, start date, and clear learning outcomes to each course card. Replace 'Register Your Interest' with a clear enrollment button that leads to purchase or registration.
Further improvements
- Add testimonials or success metrics from past students to reduce uncertainty
- Create a 'Who This Is For' section with a persona description or checklist
- Add a 'What to Expect' section explaining course format, duration, and time commitment
- Consider offering a free preview or sample lesson to reduce perceived risk
Evidence
5
Add outcome-focused case studies and testimonials from earlier-stage customers
high
Who this affects:
first-time customers · emerging artists · emerging brands · early-stage founders
What we observed
Prospects reviewing the case studies and testimonials saw examples from established brands and named artists (e.g., museum partnerships, licensed merchandise deals). However, they did not see proof from first-time customers or emerging artists at the same stage as themselves. Prospects could not visualize success for their own situation because the examples were from more advanced businesses. Generic testimonials did not reduce uncertainty for prospects who had been burned by generic consultants.
Why it matters: Emerging brands and first-time customers are a significant portion of the target audience. Without proof from similar-stage customers, they cannot reduce uncertainty and are more likely to choose competitors. Adding outcome-focused case studies from earlier-stage customers will increase relevance and conversion.
View fix and supporting evidence
Fix this first
Identify and add 1-2 case studies from earlier-stage customers showing specific outcomes and timelines. Replace generic testimonials with outcome-focused quotes that include measurable results.
Further improvements
- Create a 'Success Stories' section specifically for emerging customers or first-time founders
- Add before-and-after examples or timelines to show progression
- Include customer testimonials that mention specific challenges or pain points that early-stage customers face
- Consider adding a 'Featured In' section with press coverage or industry recognition to build credibility

Add aria-labels to social media footer links
high
Who this affects:
screen reader users · blind users · low-vision users
What we observed
Five social media links (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok) in the footer had no visible or programmatic text content. While these were likely icon-only links, they lacked aria-labels or aria-labelledby attributes, leaving assistive-technology users without a destination announcement.
Why it matters: The social links carry no accessible name, so people using assistive technology have no reliable way to reach the social profiles. This is a significant accessibility barrier and reduces inclusive reach.
View fix and supporting evidence
Fix this first
Add aria-label='Follow us on [Platform]' to each social media link in the footer.
Further improvements
- Consider adding visible text labels (e.g., 'Follow on Instagram') in addition to aria-labels for better discoverability
- Test all links with a screen reader to ensure they are announced correctly
- Ensure social media links open in a new tab or window with appropriate aria-label notation (e.g., 'Follow us on Instagram (opens in new window)')

Clarify service positioning and business stage served
medium
Who this affects:
service prospects · emerging brands · established brands · all prospects seeking clarity on service type
What we observed
Prospects visiting the services pages found descriptions of what Example offers (e.g., 'artist merchandise', 'licensed merchandise', 'brand growth') but could not determine whether the services were hands-on production or consulting/coaching. The homepage mentioned both production and consulting without clear distinction. Prospects also could not determine what stage of business Example works with (startups vs established brands). This created confusion about service relevance and forced prospects to contact Example for clarification.
Why it matters: Prospects cannot quickly determine service relevance and must contact Example for clarification. This increases support burden and delays the sales cycle. Adding clarity will reduce support burden and accelerate qualification.
View fix and supporting evidence
Fix this first
Add a brief service overview to each service page clarifying whether the service is hands-on production or consulting, and what business stage it serves.

The site looks polished and professional, but I'm leaving without understanding what makes Example different from other service providers or what I should actually expect to pay.
Example's website executes mobile-first content design well—pages flow logically and touch targets are appropriately sized—though the navigation menu itself failed on this journey (see Mobile UX Tester). More importantly, the site establishes legitimacy without establishing relevance. Visitors encounter clear service descriptions and course offerings, but lack the proof from other customers or outcome-focused evidence needed to justify choosing Example over competitors. The website communicates 'we exist and we're organised,' but not 'we deliver results for people like you.' This gap between organisational clarity and customer confidence is the primary conversion barrier.
Additional recommendations
- Establish proof from other customers as a primary trust signal because professional design alone does not reduce the perceived risk of choosing one service provider over another
- Communicate pricing and cost expectations transparently to reduce decision friction and uncertainty
- Anchor service descriptions with outcome-focused language and customer success metrics because generic service descriptions do not answer the question 'Will this work for my situation?'

“
I came here desperate for proof that you've actually helped founders like me, but I hit a broken mobile menu before I could even find a single case study.
Example's site establishes credibility through institutional affiliations (a national museum and a heritage retailer, a photography archive) and positions her as a production specialist—exactly what this persona needs. However, the website fails to answer the question that drives conversion: Will this consultant actually deliver measurable outcomes for my specific situation? The mobile experience is severely broken (navigation menu renders only 1 of 11 links), which immediately signals poor attention to detail. More critically, there is no evidence of successful founder outcomes—no case studies with timelines, no before/after production scenarios, no testimonials from first-time fashion founders who've recovered from bad manufacturer relationships. Authority signals alone cannot overcome the absence of proof from other customers for a customer who has already been burned by generic consultants.
Additional recommendations
- Supplement organisational credibility with outcome-focused proof from other customers because authority signals (institutional logos, specialist positioning) do not reduce the specific uncertainty that drives this customer's hesitation: 'Will my outcome be different from the generic consultants who burned me?' Current strategy relies on 'I am credible' messaging; customer psychology requires 'I have delivered measurable results for people in your exact position' messaging
- Fix mobile navigation to enable full discoverability of secondary conversion paths because the current broken menu (only 1 of 11 links visible) blocks access to learning resources, credentials, and testimonials that could reduce customer uncertainty. The broken experience also contradicts the credibility message—a production specialist should demonstrate attention to detail in their own digital product
- Clarify the specific value of the flagship Method relative to generic startup consulting because the persona has already paid thousands to generic consultants and needs to understand what makes this approach different. Current strategy assumes the method is self-evident; customer psychology requires explicit differentiation

I found exactly what I was looking for, but I can't move forward because I have no idea what it costs or when I can actually buy it.
Example's website successfully establishes deep expertise and institutional credibility through museum partnerships, named case studies, and 20+ years of hands-on experience. However, the site creates a critical friction point for conversion: visitors cannot see pricing, cannot enroll in courses directly, and cannot assess affordability or commitment level. The business appears to be positioning itself as premium/bespoke (which is appropriate), but the website communicates this through credential-stacking rather than through transparent pricing frameworks or clear enrollment pathways. This leaves prospects in a state of interest without a clear next step.
Additional recommendations
- Supplement institutional credibility with relatable proof from customers at the visitor's stage. Current approach: case studies and testimonials feature established brands (a national museum, a major museum, named artists with existing followings), which builds trust in Example's capability but does not reassure first-time customers that she can help them start. Why this falls short: a prospect asking 'Can she help me?' is not fully reassured by evidence that she helped established brands; they need to see evidence that she helped someone like them
- Clarify the enrollment and consultation process to reduce friction at the point of action. Current approach: CTAs ('Register Your Interest', 'Book a Strategy Call') appear throughout the site, but there is no explanation of what happens next, how long it takes, or what to expect. Why this falls short: prospects are interested but uncertain about commitment level; without clarity on the process, they hesitate to click
- Reframe case studies to emphasize outcomes and ROI, not just process and credentials. Current approach: case studies (National Museum Collection, Licensed Merchandise) focus on the production process, technical details, and Example's involvement, which demonstrates expertise but does not clearly show customer results. Why this falls short: prospects want to know 'What will this do for my business?' not just 'How does she work?'
🤖
Accessibility Advocate
Example's website demonstrates strong accessibility fundamentals with proper heading hierarchy, no missing form labels, and otherwise sound ARIA implementation across all pages. However, two significant color contrast shortfalls on primary call-to-action buttons and five unlabelled social media links need remediation to remove these barriers and ensure keyboard access for all users.
Additional recommendations
- Fix color contrast on primary CTA buttons. The 'Skip to main content' and 'Get the Course' buttons are critical user pathways. A 2.12:1 contrast ratio sits well below the 4.5:1 WCAG AA reference and makes these buttons hard to read for users with low vision, which impacts conversion on the course enrollment button
- Add aria-labels to social media icon links. The social links expose no text or ARIA label, so assistive technology announces them without a destination. Adding aria-label='Follow us on Instagram' (etc.) to each icon link is a quick fix that improves accessibility for assistive technology users
- Increase button background color saturation or lighten text. To achieve 4.5:1 contrast with white text on the teal background (rgb(0, 201, 167)), either darken the teal to approximately rgb(0, 120, 100) or switch to a darker text color. Test both options against brand guidelines

UX & Interaction Auditor
Audit persona
Specialist audit, not a buying decision. This persona evaluates one dimension of the experience.
Example's website demonstrates strong visual hierarchy, excellent use of white space, and clear benefit-driven copy that establishes credibility. However, buttons and links lack sufficient visual affordance: case study cards and testimonials rely on link styling alone for discoverability, and the 'As Featured In' section may lack visual prominence if rendered as text rather than logos.
Additional recommendations
- Add visual distinction to case study cards (border, shadow, or background color) to signal clickability and improve discoverability
- Verify testimonials section has clear visual styling (quotation marks, italic, background color) to distinguish testimonial blocks from body text
- Ensure 'As Featured In' section uses logo images with consistent sizing and alignment, or add visual prominence if rendered as text links
🤖
Cognitive Load Auditor
Audit persona
Specialist audit, not a buying decision. This persona evaluates one dimension of the experience.
Example's website excels at reducing cognitive load through client logos (instant credibility with zero reading effort) and bullet-point credentials (quick scanning of key facts). However, the flagship case study block is dense (~200 words of continuous narrative), and the navigation menu contains 8 items without grouping, creating choice paralysis.
Additional recommendations
- Break the flagship case study narrative into scannable sections with subheadings or pull quotes to improve readability
- Group related navigation items (Blog/Press/Resources under a 'Learn' dropdown) to reduce initial choice paralysis from 8 items
- Ensure all logo images have alt text; five logo images currently lack alt text, creating an accessibility gap

Scoring methodology
UX & Accessibility Readiness is the unweighted average of the five dimension scores measured in this report (Accessibility, Interaction Usability, Journey Completion, Cognitive Clarity, Mobile Experience), each scored from specialist evidence on a 1-10 scale and displayed as a percentage. Dimension scores are derived deterministically from structured specialist evidence; the consultant's synthesis may propose scores, but a contradiction of 4 or more points with the specialist evidence is overridden by the evidence-derived score.
UX & Accessibility Readiness is a PersonaQA diagnostic score reflecting barriers detected during the journeys and checks performed in this report. It is not a certification of WCAG compliance.
UX & Accessibility methodology v2026-08-19 / calc v1 · Standards: WCAG 2.2, Nielsen's 10 usability heuristics. Reports produced under the same methodology version are comparable; if the methodology changes, scores may change without the website changing.
