Free website accessibility check
Enter your web address. We load the page in a real browser, at desktop and phone sizes, and explain what we find in plain English: what each problem means for your visitors, how to fix it, and who usually fixes it.
Before you start: what this can and can’t tell you
- Automated checks find only part of the problems. Published studies put it between roughly a third and a half. Keyboard use, screen readers and whether image descriptions make sense need a person.
- It isn’t an audit, a certificate or legal advice. We never describe a site as “compliant” on the strength of this check.
- We don’t keep your results. The page is checked, the results are shown here, and nothing from your site is stored.
How the check works
It uses axe-core, the open-source checking engine behind many accessibility tools, against the automated rules for WCAG 2.2 Level AA, plus a few extra checks (vague link text, heading order, focus markers, pinch-zoom). The same page gives the same result each time. It doesn’t log in, fill in forms or open pop-ups.
Do I have to do anything?
That depends on who you are. In the UK, the Equality Act 2010 expects businesses that serve the public to make reasonable adjustments for disabled people, and that includes websites. Public-sector sites have their own rules. If you sell to customers in the EU, the European Accessibility Act may apply, though very small service businesses are exempt. We can’t tell you what applies to you; a solicitor can. Either way, fixing these problems helps real people use your site.
Want it fixed?
Every site we build is checked this way before it goes live. If your check found problems, we can fix them for you, or build you a new site that starts clean.

Build or look after websites for clients? We can check up to 5 pages of a client’s site and send you the report with your business name on it instead of ours, ready to pass on. It’s the same plain-English report: what each problem means, how to fix it, and who usually fixes it.
The honesty box stays in every report: automated checks find only part of the problems, and the report isn’t an audit, a certificate or legal advice. Price: ask us.
