I built a free accessibility scanner that gives you copy-paste fixes (not just error messages)

The European Accessibility Act just went into effect (June 28, 2025). If your website serves EU customers and isn't WCAG 2.1 AA compliant, you can face fines up to €100,000.

Most accessibility tools give you cryptic messages like "WCAG 2.1.1 Keyboard - Fail". I built something different.

What I built

Inclusiv scans your website and gives you:

  • The exact element with the issue - not just a vague description
  • Why it matters for users - context on who this affects
  • Copy-paste code to fix it - actual solutions, not just problems

The problem I'm solving

96% of websites have accessibility issues. Most site owners don't know it.

Traditional accessibility audits are expensive ($5,000+) and the reports are hard to understand. Automated tools like WAVE or axe give you error messages but leave you to figure out the fix yourself.

I wanted to bridge that gap - automated scanning with human-readable fixes.

Tech stack

  • Next.js 14 - App router, server components
  • axe-core - For accessibility scanning
  • GPT-4 - Generates the fix suggestions based on the specific issue
  • Supabase - Database and auth
  • Stripe - Payments

Try it

Free scan at tryinclusiv.com - no signup required, instant results.

Would love feedback from the dev community:

  1. What accessibility issues trip you up most?
  2. What would make you actually pay for continuous monitoring?
