Free accessibility testing tools, and what they can't catch
axe, WAVE, Lighthouse, NVDA, PAC and more — what each is for, and their blind spots.

Accessibility monitoring and training
Websites change every week. Monitoring catches regressions early, and training means new pages and PDFs are accessible from the day they're published.
Monitoring plans
- Monthly automated crawl of your full site with axe-core, reported as new, fixed and recurring issues.
- Quarterly manual spot-check of your top user journeys with keyboard and screen readers.
- New-PDF review: we check documents published since the last cycle and remediate as needed.
- Release checks: test a new feature or redesign before it goes live.
- Annual audit and statement update, the cadence most DOJ settlements require.

Frequently asked questions
Is automated monitoring enough on its own?
No. Automated scans catch regressions in things a machine can measure. Our plans add a quarterly manual check of your key user journeys, because the issues that block people are often invisible to scanners.
Is training recorded?
Live sessions can be recorded for your internal use, and every attendee receives checklists and reference guides.
