Digital accessibility providers in Grand Est

Consulting and support comes first (14), ahead of Inclusive design (11) and Accessible development (11). Mobile apps is rarer here (1).

For that particular need, widening to the region or to the whole country avoids settling for a handful of profiles.

Not necessarily: 5 of the providers listed here say they work remotely or across France. An audit and training run over video without loss. Distance matters for on-site workshops or in-person user testing.

Paris rates typically run 20 to 30 % above the rest of the country, a gap remote work has narrowed.

This page holds 1 freelancer, 1 non-profit and 13 companies.

A freelancer often charges less than a firm for equivalent work and suits a short, well-scoped assignment; a larger outfit absorbs a long one or several journeys at once.

A quick automated check, which takes minutes and costs nothing.

It does not replace the audit, but it avoids arriving empty-handed: the most common errors are fixed before the auditor arrives, and the quote then covers what genuinely needs a human eye. Includdy, which publishes this directory, offers that scan free for up to five pages.

A scan detects between 30 and 40 % of accessibility problems: images without an alternative, insufficient contrast, fields without a label, an undeclared language.

The rest is checked by hand, with a keyboard and a screen reader, and that is exactly what a provider brings. A useful tool therefore does more than list errors: it guides the manual checks that remain and proposes the fix to apply in the code, which shortens the remediation work after the audit.

The French digital agency DINUM puts a conformity audit between 2,000 and 5,000 € excluding tax for an ordinary site. The market runs from 800 € for a pre-diagnosis, which cannot support a conformity statement, to over 20,000 € for a multi-portal institutional site.

Price depends on the number of page templates to test rather than the number of pages: a blog of 500 articles built on three templates costs less to audit than a 40-page portal on ten different layouts.

Two to four days of testing for a simple brochure site, one to three weeks for a standard scope of about ten representative pages, several weeks for an institutional site. Scoping beforehand and the debrief afterwards add to that.

An official conformity rate as a percentage of criteria met, the list of failures ranked from blocking to minor, remediation guidance, and the accessibility statement to publish.

A report that gives a score without saying what to fix or how leaves the whole job to the teams.

No certification is legally required to audit in France: what counts is command of the method and application of the 106 criteria.

Four questions sort the field: how the representative sample is built, whether manual keyboard and screen reader testing is included, whether a retest after fixes is planned and at what price, and whether the provider also sells the remediation it will audit.

Usually not. The audit establishes the diagnosis; fixing code, components and content is a separate budget, in the order of 3,000 to 10,000 € for a mid-sized company site.

Some offer combined packages: the support days should then appear separately in the quote.

Yes, a French OPCO can cover part or all of a course, provided the organisation holds Qualiopi certification: 7 of the providers listed here do.

Regional schemes and France Num can cover part of a diagnosis.

Each profile is written from the pages the provider publishes, with a quoted extract and a link to the source page, then reviewed to remove claims that cannot be checked.

Nobody pays to be listed and the display order is not for sale.
