Frequently Asked Questions
What standards does the scan check against
Our scanner evaluates pages against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)—the global benchmark referenced by laws like the U.S. ADA/Section 508 and the EU’s new European Accessibility Act (EAA). WCAG is technology-agnostic and organized into testable “success criteria,” which scanners and auditors use to assess accessibility. In practice, most organizations aim for WCAG 2.x Level AA.
What are the legal and business risks of ignoring accessibility?
Beyond excluding users, non-compliance can trigger complaints, lawsuits, fines, and public backlash. In the U.S., the ADA and Section 508 are commonly cited; in the EU, the EAA (effective June 28, 2025) expands requirements for many consumer-facing digital products and services, with enforcement and penalties set at the member-state level. Organizations that invest in accessibility consistently report broader reach, better UX, and improved conversion.
Can automated scanning alone make my site “compliant”?
Not by itself. Automated tools are essential for catching many issues quickly, but some requirements (e.g., keyboard order, screen-reader reading order, link purpose in context) need human judgment. A mature approach combines automated testing, guided/semi-automated checks, and manual/assistive-technology testing.
If I fix everything the scan flags, am I done?
Fixing flagged issues is a strong start, but it’s not the end. Automated results cover only a portion of WCAG; you’ll still need targeted manual checks to verify things automation can’t reliably judge. Treat accessibility as an ongoing process—scan, remediate, validate manually, and re-scan as your site changes.
How should we work accessibility scanning into our workflow?
Run scans regularly (e.g., on major releases and scheduled intervals) and add checks to development workflows so issues are caught before launch.
