Free website accessibility audit

Check whether everyone can use your website, including people with low vision, colour blindness or a screen reader. Plain English, in about a minute.

What this audit checks

  • Colour contrast

    Whether text stands out enough from its background.

  • Image descriptions

    Alt text screen readers read out for images.

  • Form labels

    Whether every field says what it's for.

  • Link and button names

    Whether links say where they go.

  • Page language

    So screen readers pronounce your content correctly.

  • Heading order

    Whether headings form a sensible outline.

  • Keyboard basics

    Whether key parts of the page can be reached without a mouse.

What results look like

Real examples of what an accessibility report flags, and what to do about each one.

PoorYour contact form fields have no labelsHigh impact · Quick fix

What it means

Screen reader users can't tell which box is for their name, email or message, so they can't contact you.

What to do

Give every field a visible label, not just placeholder text inside the box.

Needs work12 pieces of text are hard to readMedium impact · Some effort

What it means

Light grey on white, or white on bright colours, is hard to read for many people and in bright sunlight.

What to do

Darken the text or background until it passes WCAG contrast (4.5:1 for normal text).

Why it matters

About one in five Australians has a disability, and many more have ageing eyes or are reading in bright sunlight. If they can't read your text or use your contact form, they can't become customers. Accessible sites also tend to rank better, because Google reads pages much like a screen reader does.

Who fixes this?

Alt text and simple wording fixes are often do-it-yourself. Colour, forms and keyboard problems usually need your web developer or an accessibility specialist.

Accessibility audit questions

Does a good score mean my site is WCAG compliant?

No. Automated checks catch a lot, but not everything. A full WCAG audit also needs a person testing with a keyboard and a screen reader. A good score means you've got the basics right.

Is accessibility a legal requirement in Australia?

The Disability Discrimination Act applies to websites, and complaints do happen. There's no fixed technical standard in the law for private businesses, but WCAG is the benchmark everyone uses.

What does WCAG stand for?

Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. It's the international standard for making websites usable by everyone, and most accessibility checks, including ours, are based on it.

Will fixing accessibility change how my site looks?

Usually only a little. Most fixes are invisible, like labels and descriptions. Contrast fixes might mean slightly darker text or a stronger button colour.
