Prove your site is accessible — before a lawsuit does it for you.
A11yWard crawls your whole site, finds the WCAG failures that get companies sued, and watches every deploy so you stay compliant. Real code-level evidence — not an overlay widget that courts and the FTC have already rejected.

THE PROBLEM
The deadline passed. The lawsuits started.
It's the law now
The European Accessibility Act has been enforceable EU-wide since 28 June 2025 (EN 301 549 / WCAG 2.1 AA). France filed its first lawsuits against major retailers in November 2025; the Netherlands began auditing non-reporters in 2026.
Overlays don't protect you
The FTC fined accessiBe $1M for claiming its widget makes sites compliant. In H1 2025, 22.6% of US accessibility lawsuits hit sites that already had an overlay installed. Courts reject them.
You can't see your own gaps
A site has thousands of elements across hundreds of pages, and every deploy adds new violations. No one can track which button, form, or image is failing by hand.
HOW IT WORKS
Scan. Fix. Prove. Repeat.
Crawl your whole site
Enter a URL. A real browser walks every page — home, product, cart, forms — exactly as a screen-reader user would hit them.
Detect real WCAG failures
Each page is checked against the WCAG 2.1 AA ruleset. You get a precise list: which page, which element, which rule, and how to fix it.
Monitor & prove
Re-scan on every deploy, alert when something regresses, and export a timestamped WCAG / VPAT report for auditors and lawyers.
WHAT YOU GET
A diagnosis, not a band-aid.
Full-site crawl
Hundreds of pages audited automatically — not one URL at a time like free checkers.
Continuous monitoring
Accessibility regresses on every deploy. We re-scan and alert the moment it breaks.
Evidence & VPAT
Timestamped, exportable compliance reports — the proof an EAA accessibility statement needs.
Never an overlay
We never inject code into your site. We inspect from the outside and tell you the truth.
WHO NEEDS THIS MOST
E-commerce & retail
High-traffic stores in the EU & US — the #1 lawsuit target.
Public-sector suppliers
Selling to government means accessibility is contractually required.
Banks, insurance, travel
Consumer-facing services explicitly in EAA scope.
Agencies & platforms
Manage 10–100 client sites from one compliance dashboard.
WHAT'S AT STAKE
One lawsuit costs more than years of monitoring.
Put a number on the risk you're carrying right now — then see your real violations.
ADA web lawsuits run ~4,000+/year in the US; the EAA is enforceable EU-wide since 28 Jun 2025. Most demand letters settle for $5k–$50k.
