What are some tools and resources for testing website accessibility?

Kevin Wall

Accessibility testing tools: There are several automated accessibility testing tools available, such as Wave, Axe, and Google Lighthouse. These tools can scan your website for accessibility issues and provide a detailed report of the issues found.
Screen readers: Screen readers are assistive technology that read aloud the content of a website for users with visual impairments. Testing your website with screen readers can help you identify issues with the accessibility of your website.
Keyboard testing: Testing your website with a keyboard-only user can help you identify issues with keyboard accessibility, such as tab order and keyboard shortcuts.
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG): WCAG provides a set of guidelines for making websites accessible. The guidelines are divided into three levels of conformance (A, AA, and AAA) and cover various aspects of accessibility.
Accessibility checklists: Several accessibility checklists are available online that can help you evaluate the accessibility of your website. These checklists cover various aspects of accessibility, such as images, forms, and navigation.
Accessibility audits: You can hire an accessibility consultant or an audit firm to perform a detailed accessibility audit of your website. This can help you identify accessibility issues and develop a plan to address them.
