Tools

Practical website accessibility tools for first-pass checks.

Run quick checks, generate useful drafts, and export plain-English notes for people who need to prioritize fixes.

Start with the main checker

Website accessibility checker

Check a single public URL or pasted HTML for obvious accessibility issues.

Accessibility statement generator

Create a practical draft statement with Canadian-friendly wording and disclaimers.

Alt text checker

Find missing, empty, generic, repeated, and filename-looking image alt text.

Heading structure checker

Review whether headings create a useful page outline for people and assistive technology.

Colour contrast checker

Compare foreground and background colours against WCAG contrast thresholds.

What these tools are for

Use these tools before a redesign handoff, content launch, procurement review, or formal audit. They help catch visible, fixable problems early.

What they cannot prove

They cannot certify a page, guarantee WCAG conformance, or replace keyboard testing, screen reader review, legal advice, or testing with people who use assistive technology.

Next: use the Canadian website accessibility checklist, read what automated accessibility checkers miss, or review the AODA website accessibility guide.
