Koa11y

Koa11y (pronounced Koally) is an awesome tool you might want to check out, especially with more people using the Internet every day. Web accessibility is super important for everyone, and it’s something we should all think about, especially if your site gets a lot of traffic.

Why Accessibility Matters

Did you know there are millions of people around the world who have disabilities that can make browsing the web tricky? That's why it's crucial to make our websites as user-friendly as possible for everyone.

How Koa11y Works

This cool app helps you spot accessibility problems on any website. It works based on four main standards: Section508 (mainly for the US), WCAG2A, WCAG2AA, and WCG2AAA. The best part? It's easy to use! You don’t need fancy installations or complicated setups.

Getting Started with Koa11y

To start using Koa11y, just paste the website address into the URL bar. You can also give your report a custom filename if you don’t like the one it generates automatically. Choose your report format—HTML, CSV, JSON, Markdown, or XML—and select an output folder along with one of the four accessibility formats before hitting that "Run!" button!

Check Image Accessibility

Don’t forget about images! Koa11y lets you add console code to gather info about images on a page too. This optional feature can be super handy!

An Easy Reporting Process

After running your report, open it up in a compatible app to see what needs fixing. The reports will show errors, warnings, and notices related to accessibility issues which makes troubleshooting much easier.

The Human Touch in Web Accessibility

Even though tools like Koa11y help a lot, checking a site’s accessibility still needs some human insight. This app is here to make things simpler for web developers aiming to create a friendlier experience for users with visual, auditory, physical disabilities and more.

Compatible Across Platforms

The cherry on top? Koa11y works smoothly on all major operating systems: Windows, macOS, and Linux! So whether you're at work or home, this tool has got your back when it comes to making accessible websites.
