  • Really nice plugin - v helpful!

    I've been using this the last couple of months, and I'm really happy with it - I appreciate it catching issues I would otherwise miss, and makes it easier to maintain a level of accessibiilty I have committed to. Would absolutely recommend.

  • Excellent plugin, support, and resources

    Equalize Digital has gone above and beyond to help us make this tool work for our complex custom classic site. The tool is very helpful, configurable, and getting better all the time. Their support staff are knowledgeable, friendly, and responsive. Beyond the plugin and support, their website and active community outreach and participation provide a vast resource for learning and staying up to date in this confusing area of web content and design.

  • Thumbs Down to the Bait-and-switch approach

    I did not choose to install this plugin on my WordPress site—it appeared one day without my consent. While it was functional, it provided some value, but now it’s heavily restricted unless I upgrade to the paid version. I dislike the bait-and-switch approach: offering a free version only to limit its functionality later unless you pay for the premium version. p.s.I’m confident there are—or eventually will be—other plugins that offer the same features for free.

  • Excellent Accessibility Plugin with integrated approach to remediation

    I have thoroughly enjoyed using the Accessibility Checker by Equalize Digital. If you want to build accessible websites and not want to have to use an external tool to switch back and forth between reports and content editing, this is the right plugin for you. Each issue from a scan links directly to the issue on the front-end and provides guidance on how to review and resolve the issue. I upgraded to the Pro version as well to take advantage of ongoing accessibility checks. The plugin has been built in a thoughtful way and provides excellent resources for each issue on why it is flagged and how to resolve them. I highly recommend it over any accessibility overlay tool.

  • Comprehensive and Efficient

    What I love about Accessibility Checker is that it is so comprehensive and so efficient to use. I love that all the editors on a site can spot check their posts quickly and easily for errors. The detailed references for why something doesn't pass are super helpful. This is by far the best accessibility plugin available. The team is highly committed to constant improvement and WordPress community support. This is truly a passion project with a deep commitment to accessibility. I am also a pro user, and I love the pro tools with the issues lists I can quickly reference and address across the site and keep an audit trail.
