What you get back
Every failure, pinned to its element
Each finding shows the rule, how bad it is, the exact element on the page and the HTML behind it, so there is no hunting.
Plain English, with the WCAG criterion
What the problem means for a real person, which success criterion it fails, and a link to a worked explanation of the fix.

Download the whole report and hand it over. It reads the same on paper as on screen, and the link stays live.
What the check looks at
The page is loaded in a real Chromium browser at desktop width and tested with axe-core, the open-source rules engine behind most professional accessibility tooling, against WCAG 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2 at levels A and AA, plus widely accepted best practices.
Images and alternatives
Every image, icon and graphic needs a text alternative, or a deliberate mark that it is decorative.
Colour contrast
Text and essential graphics against their backgrounds, measured from the rendered page, not the stylesheet.
Forms and labels
Each field has a name a screen reader can announce, and errors are tied to the field they belong to.
Headings and structure
A sensible outline, landmarks for the main regions, lists marked up as lists, tables with headers.
Links and buttons
Every control has a name that says what it does, and controls are what they claim to be.
Keyboard and focus
Nothing traps the keyboard, focus order makes sense, and interactive elements are reachable.
Language and title
The page declares its language and has a title, so assistive technology reads it correctly.
ARIA done right
Roles, states and properties that are valid, allowed where they are used, and not contradicting the HTML underneath.
What an automated check cannot tell you
A machine can prove an image has no text alternative. It cannot tell you whether the alternative you wrote is any good. It can measure contrast; it cannot tell whether your checkout makes sense to someone using a screen reader, or whether a form can be completed by voice.
So treat the report as the floor: a clean report means the obvious problems are gone, not that the site is accessible. The rest takes a person working through the real tasks with real assistive technology. That is the review we offer.

Accessibility is an expectation, not an extra
In the United States, courts have applied the Americans with Disabilities Act to websites for years, and in 2024 the Department of Justice set WCAG 2.1 AA as the technical standard for state and local government sites. Federal sites answer to Section 508. In the European Union the European Accessibility Act has applied to most consumer-facing digital services since June 2025.
Beyond the law, the numbers are simple: people with disabilities, older visitors, people on bad connections and people on small screens all benefit from the same fixes, and search engines read a page much the way a screen reader does. A page that passes these checks is a page more people can finish what they came to do on.
Before you run it
Does it check my whole site?
One page per check: the address you type. Run it on your home page, then on the pages where visitors actually do things, such as a contact form, a checkout or a sign-up page.
Can it see pages behind a login?
No. The scanner visits as an anonymous visitor would. Pages that need a login, or that live on a private network, cannot be checked from here.
Will it slow down or affect my site?
It is one visit from one browser, the same as a person opening the page once. It does not click, submit forms, or crawl.
Where does the report live, and who can see it?
The report has a long, unguessable address. Anyone with the link can open it; nobody can find it without the link. If you gave an email, we send the link there and a copy of the notification reaches us. Email us to have a report deleted.
Is this a legal audit?
No. It is an automated technical check, the same starting point a professional auditor uses. A conformance claim or a legal audit needs a human review of real tasks; book a call if that is what you need.
Privacy: we store the address you check, the findings, a screenshot of the rendered page, and the email if you gave one. A hashed form of your connection address is kept for rate limiting. Nothing is sold or shared. See our privacy policy.
