Know exactly how accessible you actually are

Auditing shows how well your website meets key accessibility standards, like WCAG 2.0, ADA, and Section 508. It checks for essentials, such as adding alt text to images, ensuring links work, making buttons accessible, enabling keyboard navigation, and labeling inputs correctly. This process doesn’t just help with compliance—it also gives web developers practical guidance they can use in creating new templates and content, making your website more accessible and easy for everyone to use.

Reliable and robust auditing solution

People with diverse needs and abilities visit your website, and accessibility should be central to your design, development, and marketing decisions. Users with disabilities may encounter barriers that prevent them from accessing all of your content. An accessibility audit helps you identify which features are missing or need improvement, offering an objective measure of your website’s accessibility.

For example, an audit might uncover content labeled as “content hidden” by screen readers, truncated text, text blocks that can’t be selected with a mouse, or other issues that make navigation difficult. EqualWeb’s accessibility plug-in enables you to address these barriers easily. By activating the plug-in, users can access features like improved navigation and content translation, enhancing the experience for individuals with disabilities.

While the audit results often highlight areas for improvement, EqualWeb’s solution allows you to make these adjustments without altering the base website structure. Accessibility is an ongoing effort; regular monitoring and updates are essential to provide an inclusive browsing experience for all users, regardless of ability.

By addressing the highest-priority accessibility barriers first, you reduce costs and avoid repetitive corrections.
