Standards and remediation

Can automated tools achieve full ADA compliance?

No. Automated tools (axe-core, WAVE, Lighthouse) catch 30-40% of WCAG failures. Manual assistive-technology testing — screen reader, keyboard-only, focus, voice — is required to catch the rest.

Manual testing is required. An automated scan finds some barriers, but it can't show that a site meets the ADA or WCAG 2.1 AA. That takes manual testing — keyboard, screen reader and human review of key tasks — which is part of a full audit.

The free preliminary scan covers up to 10 pages — the right first step for most sites. If your site is larger, the report tells you how many pages it didn't review, and larger properties get a scoped full audit. Your details are saved so we can respond to this request. We may discuss a full Grow Wild Agency audit. You can opt out anytime.

Enterprise or publisher-scale site? Member portals, journals, PDFs, thousands of pages — a 10-page scan won't tell you much.
