Auditing Tools

Only a small percentage of the WCAG guidelines can actually be reviewed using automated tools. A manual review by ADA professionals as well as actual users who require assistive technology to navigate the web, must be performed in order for your site to be considered compliant. With that being said, automated tools are a great way to get started on your own and to remediate any immediate issues found.
