Best Website Accessibility Software: WAVE Automated Scan Tool (Free and Easy to Use)


Listen Later

Kris gives a brief demo using the WAVE scan tool to show why WAVE is the best website accessibility software.  WAVE is simple, intuitive, and easy to use for anybody.  And it's completely free for single page scans.  

Kris also explains that there is no software that automatically make your website accessible.  You may come across "automated solutions" that are referred to as overlays, widgets, plugins, apps, toolbars, etc.  These overlays do not make your website accessible.  

Note that the WAVE scan (sometimes called an ADA compliance checker) is an incomplete scan in that a manual review is required for issues that are flagged and the scan cannot detect all accessibility issues.  

WAVE is make available by WebAIM, a reputable organization that offers website accessibility services and training.  

You can access WAVE at https://wave.webaim.org.
