Honest measurement,
not magic promises.
Why AbleScan exists
Since June 2025, the European Accessibility Act (EAA) requires businesses selling to EU consumers to make their websites usable by people with disabilities. Fines reach €100,000 — in Italy, up to 5% of turnover.
Large companies hire accessibility consultants. Small online businesses are stuck in the middle: big enough that the law applies, too small to spend thousands of euros on an audit. AbleScan is built for them — a fast, affordable way to see where your site stands and what to fix first.
How the scan works
AbleScan loads your page in a real browser and tests it against WCAG 2.1 A/AA — the technical standard referenced by the EAA (via EN 301 549). The checks are powered by axe-core, the industry-standard accessibility engine developed by Deque Systems and used in Chrome DevTools. We don't reinvent the rules — we make them understandable.
What we deliberately don't do
- We don't guarantee compliance. Automated scanning detects only a portion of accessibility barriers. Anyone who promises full compliance from an automated tool is overselling — a complete assessment requires a professional audit.
- We don't sell overlay widgets. One-line "fix everything" scripts don't fix your source code, and regulators and the accessibility community have been clear about their limitations. We show you what to fix, so your site actually improves.
- We don't provide legal advice. We measure your site against a technical standard. What the law means for your specific business is a question for a lawyer.
Who builds this
AbleScan is an independent product, built and run by its maker. Small team, fast fixes, no enterprise sales calls. If something looks wrong — a scan that fails, a score that seems off — email us and a human who actually wrote the code will read it.
