Getting started with TheAccessibleWeb
TheAccessibleWeb fixes WCAG issues on a web page and gives you back remediated markup, with a live diff editor to review every change before you ship. There are two ways in: start from a URL, or arrive from a TheAccessibleAudit scan.
Start from a URL
- Sign in at remediate.theaccessible.org (email code, Google, LinkedIn, or phone).
- Enter the Page URL (a publicly reachable page).
- Choose a WCAG level — A or AA (AA recommended).
- Click Scan. The page is rendered in a real browser (desktop, mobile, and dark-mode variants), audited with axe-core, and remediated. It appears in your Jobs list as it processes.
- Expand the job to grab its assets: the remediated HTML, the original, a WCAG conformance report, and an accessibility checklist.
Arrive from an audit (fix wizard)
If you ran a scan in TheAccessibleAudit, click Start guided verification / Fix Wizard on the results — it opens the fix wizard here at /audit/wizard/?id=…, reusing the audit result (no re-scan). The wizard groups violations by severity (critical → serious → moderate), gives copy-ready fix instructions and AI-suggested content (like alt text and link text), and lets you mark each fix done. Use Re-scan to verify, and download a Punch List for issues that need a developer.
Review and adjust in the editor
Click Open on a job to enter the editor:
- Switch between Visual and Code views, and between device variants.
- The header tracks totals — remaining vs fixed — and the WCAG panel lists each violation; click one to highlight it in the page.
- Use Edit to make inline tweaks (the page re-validates when you leave edit mode), the Walkthrough to step through issues one by one, and Alt Text to review and apply AI-suggested image descriptions.
Ship it
Download the remediated HTML and publish it, and keep the conformance report as proof. Items marked Dev Required (like landmark structure or skip links) can't be fixed inline — hand the punch list to your developers.
