Why This Matters

Some of your visitors can't see your screen, can't use a mouse, or need bigger text. If your site doesn't work for them, they leave, and some file complaints.

How It Works

We Check. You Fix. Visitors See You Care.

No technical knowledge needed. Here's what happens after you add your website.

Every week
Pillar 01

We Check Your Website and Email You What's Wrong

Every week we automatically check your pages for common problems, like text that's too faint to read, pictures with no description for blind visitors, and buttons that don't say what they do. You get a short email with your score and what to fix first.

You Get a Public Accessibility Page

We host a page you can link from your website's footer. It says which accessibility standard you follow, when your site was last checked, what you're still working on, and how people can reach you. It shows you take this seriously. It isn't a certificate.

Visitors Can Tell You About Problems

If someone gets stuck on your site, they can report it in two clicks. You get the details by email, so you can fix it and reply, instead of losing that customer.

A Small Help Button for Your Visitors

Optional. Visitors can make text bigger, raise the contrast, switch to an easier font, highlight links, stop animations, or tell you about a problem. Their choices are remembered as they move around your site. Try it on this page.

A Website Everyone Can Read

More than 1 in 4 US adults has a disability (CDC). Some of your visitors need bigger text, stronger contrast, or an easier font. The help button gives them that, plus a quick way to tell you when something doesn't work.

Add It to Your Site

Optional: paste this one line into your website. After you sign up we show you exactly where it goes for Shopify, WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, or Webflow. Or skip it and just add a footer link to your public accessibility page.
<script src="https://accessibilityshield.org/widget.js" data-site-id="YOUR_SITE_ID" async></script>
  • Report a Problem: Visitors describe what went wrong, and it lands in your inbox with the page they were on.
  • Higher Contrast: Makes text stand out more for people with low vision.
  • Bigger Text and an Easier Font: Text size can go from 80% to 160%, plus a font option some people with dyslexia find easier to read.
  • Works With a Keyboard and Screen Readers: The help button itself is fully usable without a mouse. You choose where it sits (bottom right, bottom left, or hidden behind your own link) from your dashboard.

What You Get

Everything you need to find problems, fix them, and show your visitors you care.

A Weekly Check-Up

We check your site every week and email you a simple report. If a theme update or a new page breaks something, you'll know right away.

A Tiny Help Button

Reading tools for visitors that are remembered from page to page, plus a "report a problem" form. It's about 3 KB, so it won't slow your site down, and it doesn't track anyone.

Questions People Ask

What does "web accessibility" mean?

It means people with disabilities can use your website. For example: someone who is blind and uses a screen reader that reads the page out loud, someone who can't use a mouse and moves around with the keyboard, or someone with low vision who needs bigger, clearer text. More than 1 in 4 US adults has a disability (CDC), so this is a lot of your customers.

My website looks fine. Why would it have problems?

Most problems are invisible when you look at the screen. A picture with no description is just silence to a screen reader. A button that's only an icon gets read out as "button", with no clue what it does. WebAIM found problems like these on 96% of home pages in 2026.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. Every problem comes with simple steps for your platform: Shopify, WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, or Webflow. Many fixes are a setting or a short description you type in. If something does need code, we give you a ready-made note to pass to your developer.

What does it check, and what can't it check?

It checks the problems a computer can spot, like text that's too faint, pictures without descriptions, form fields without labels, and buttons without names. Automated checks find about 57% of accessibility issues (Deque). Some things need a person, so we also give you a 15-minute checklist you can do yourself.

Will this protect me from lawsuits?

No tool can promise that, and anyone who does is overselling. What actually helps is fixing the problems, keeping a dated record of your work, and giving people an easy way to tell you about issues. We help you do all three. We're not lawyers, so if you ever get a legal letter, talk to an attorney.

What is the public accessibility page?

It's a page we host for you (accessibilityshield.org/statement/your-site) that you link from your footer, next to Privacy and Terms. It says which standard you follow, when your site was last checked, what you're still working on, and how visitors can reach you. It shows good faith, but it isn't a certificate and doesn't replace fixing the problems.

Is it really $1 a month?

Yes. The Starter plan is $12 a year for one website, which works out to $1 a month. We can keep it cheap because the checks are automatic and we don't have a sales team. You can also use one website free, with a homepage check once a week.

Will it slow down my website?

No. The help button is about 3 KB and loads after the rest of your page. You don't even need the button: you can just add a link to your public accessibility page in your footer.

How do I set it up?

Create a free account, add your website, and put one link in your footer. That's it, and we start checking. If you also want the help button, we show you where to paste one line for your platform.
