Instant check · Your homepage

Nine checks, in about five seconds

When you press the button, we load your homepage and read its code for the failures that show up on almost every Ontario business site we scan:

What the instant check reads

  • Page language declared — without it, screen readers guess the pronunciation
  • Page title — the first thing assistive technology announces
  • Images with no text description — a screen-reader user gets nothing
  • Links that read out as just "link"
  • Form fields with no label — the quote or contact form nobody can fill in
  • Buttons with no name — icon-only menu and search buttons, usually
  • Zoom blocked on phones — a one-line fix that fails a whole criterion
  • Embedded maps, videos and forms with no title
  • A main heading — not a legal failure, but it steers every other check

What it can't see: colour contrast, keyboard traps, PDFs, and anything on your other pages. Those need a real browser and a person reading the results. That is the full report.

The full report · By email, within one business day

Six pages, the real scanner, a person reading it

  1. Six key pages, scanned properly

    Home, contact, about, services, careers, and any booking or quote form, run through axe-core in a real browser. That is the engine accessibility auditors use, and it catches the contrast and keyboard failures the instant check cannot.

  2. Two documents, two readers

    A plain-English summary for the owner, with the three things to fix first marked at the top, and a page-by-page fix list for whoever maintains the site. They work straight from it.

  3. What it means for the December report

    Which findings sit under Question 2 of the compliance report, and whether the website rule applies to you at all at your size. Nobody should buy a website audit they are not legally required to have.

Who this is for

The website rule is a 50-employee rule. The report is a 20-employee rule.

50 or more employees in Ontario: your public website must meet WCAG 2.0 AA, and has had to since January 1, 2021. The compliance report due December 31, 2026 asks you to certify it, yes or no, and a senior officer signs. This scan is the first step to a "Yes" that is actually true. What the requirement covers.

20 to 49 employees: there is no WCAG requirement for you, and your report asks one question, about customer service. The scan is still worth having (customers, hiring, and the 2029 cycle when you may have grown), but nobody should sell you a website audit as a legal necessity. Who must file, by size.

Under 20: no report to file. The training and customer-service rules still apply, and an accessible website is good business, but there is no filing deadline behind it.

Questions

Before you paste your address

Is this an official AODA compliance check or certificate?

No. There is no government certificate for websites, and no company can issue one. The law sets a standard (WCAG 2.0 Level AA) and the December 31, 2026 compliance report asks organizations with 50 or more employees to certify, yes or no, that they meet it. Our scan tells you whether an automated check believes you do. A full audit is what makes a "Yes" defensible.

We already have an accessibility widget on our site. Does that pass?

Usually not. A widget adds a toolbar; it does not change the underlying code the standard measures. In January 2025 the United States Federal Trade Commission fined the largest widget vendor US$1 million for claiming its overlay made sites compliant. We have scanned widget-equipped Ontario sites that still failed 95 automated checks.

Do you fix the website?

We give you the fix list; your web person or agency works through it, and most items are small. If you have nobody to hand it to, we can arrange the fixes as part of the Full Readiness Package.

What happens with my email address?

We send the report and one follow-up. No mailing list, no sales sequence. Ask and we delete it.

Can an automated check miss things?

Yes. Automated tools cover roughly a third of WCAG criteria. A clean scan is necessary, not sufficient, and we say so in the report rather than let anyone certify on the strength of it.
