-
Does AAArdvark cover all accessibility requirements?
Yes, AAArdvark provides coverage for A, AA, and AAA level criteria for WCAG versions 2.0, 2.1, and 2.2.
AAArdvark provides a helpful balance of automatic scanning to detect issues and manual testing tools to allow for human detection of accessibility requirements.
-
Is AAArdvak only an accessibility tool or do you also provide accessibility services?
Both! We offer the following accessibility solutions:
- AAArdvark, the all-in-one accessibility testing tool for professionals who specialize in web accessibility auditing, remediation, and monitoring.
- AAArdvark Web Accessibility Services for businesses and organizations needing consultations and work done on their site. Our experts can help audit websites, complete remediation, and train staff or developers.
-
Is AAArdvark an accessibility overlay?
No, AAArdvark is not a quick-fix accessibility overlay tool.
Accessibility overlays claim to improve website accessibility for people with disabilities. However, not all tools claiming to be accessibility overlays are effective or helpful for all users. Some use automated scans, which may miss critical accessibility problems. Others add extra widgets that usually end up creating more usability problems.
It’s important to carefully evaluate any accessibility tools before using them and prioritize solutions that involve manual testing, human expertise, and user feedback to truly improve accessibility for all users.
-

And that’s it. You’re ready to start using the Visual Mode feature, begin a scan, or add team members.
-
Where did the name "AAArdvark" come from?
The name for AAArdvark came from the Aardvark animal! Since the word already starts with two A’s, we thought it would be fun to add another “A” as a reference to WCAG’s highest level of accessibility compliance.
Plus, here’s a fun fact: Aardvarks have poor vision and are color-blind, which we thought was fitting for an accessibility tool!
-
