A11y Owl is a free AI-powered website accessibility scanner that checks your site for ADA and WCAG 2.2 AA compliance issues. It uses vision AI and keyboard testing to find issues that traditional automated scanners miss, and provides exact code fixes for every problem found.

Yes. A11y Owl is completely free. Every scan includes a Compliance Risk Score, AIO Score, and sample issues on screen. The Full Report with AI-generated code fixes, DIY action items, and a priority roadmap for all issues is also free — delivered to your inbox as a PDF.

How is A11y Owl different from accessibility overlay widgets?

Unlike overlay widgets (such as accessiBe or UserWay), A11y Owl does not inject JavaScript into your website. Instead, it scans your actual source code using vision AI, identifies real accessibility issues, and provides exact code fixes. Overlay widgets were cited in 25% of 2024 ADA lawsuits as barriers to access, and the FTC fined accessiBe $1 million in January 2025 for false compliance claims.

Does my small business website need to be ADA compliant?

Yes. Under Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act, websites of businesses that serve the public must be accessible to people with disabilities. In 2024, over 4,000 ADA website lawsuits were filed, and 77% of those targeted businesses with under $25 million in revenue. The average settlement costs $25,000 or more, not including legal fees.

What does A11y Owl check for?

A11y Owl checks for WCAG 2.2 Level AA compliance issues including: missing alt text, low color contrast, keyboard traps, missing focus indicators, small touch targets, broken ARIA roles, form label issues, reading order problems, and missing skip navigation. It uses vision AI to catch visual issues that DOM-only scanners miss.

How long does an A11y Owl scan take?

An A11y Owl accessibility scan typically completes in under 60 seconds. Simply paste your website URL, click scan, and receive your Compliance Risk Score and issue summary. No signup or credit card required.

What is a Compliance Risk Score?

The Compliance Risk Score is A11y Owl's proprietary metric that measures your website's ADA and WCAG 2.2 AA lawsuit exposure on a scale of 0-100. It uses vision AI to test your page the way a screen reader user or plaintiff's attorney would. A higher score means lower lawsuit risk.

What is the AIO Score?

The AIO (AI Optimization) Score measures whether AI systems like ChatGPT, Google AI Overview, and Perplexity can find, understand, and cite your website content. It checks semantic landmarks, JSON-LD structured data, heading hierarchy, and Schema.org coverage. The AIO Score is included in every scan.

How much does an ADA lawsuit cost?

ADA website accessibility lawsuits typically settle for $5,000 to $75,000, with the average around $25,000. However, total costs including legal fees, remediation, and ongoing monitoring can exceed $40,000 to $90,000. In the first half of 2025 alone, over 2,000 ADA website lawsuits were filed -- a 37% increase over the same period in 2024.

Can I get professional help fixing accessibility issues?

Yes. A11y Owl's parent company, Logixtecs, provides professional accessibility remediation services. After receiving your A11y Owl report, you can contact Logixtecs at a11y@logixtecs.com to have their team implement all recommended fixes and verify compliance.

Accessibility Statement

Last updated: February 6, 2026

Our Commitment

A11y Owl is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. As a product dedicated to helping others achieve web accessibility, we hold ourselves to the same high standards we encourage in our users. We are continually improving the user experience of a11yowl.ai and applying the relevant accessibility standards to ensure we provide equal access to all users.

Standards We Follow

A11y Owl aims to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities, including:

Visual impairments (blindness, low vision, color blindness)
Hearing impairments (deafness, hard of hearing)
Motor impairments (limited fine motor control, inability to use a mouse)
Cognitive impairments (learning disabilities, memory limitations)

Measures We Take

We take the following measures to ensure accessibility of a11yowl.ai:

Skip Navigation

A skip-to-main-content link is provided as the first focusable element on every page.

Semantic HTML

We use proper semantic HTML elements (header, nav, main, footer, article, section) throughout the site.

Keyboard Navigation

All interactive elements are fully operable via keyboard. No keyboard traps exist on the site.

ARIA Attributes

ARIA roles, labels, and live regions are used where native HTML semantics are insufficient.

Color Contrast

Text and interactive elements meet WCAG 2.2 AA contrast ratio requirements (4.5:1 for normal text, 3:1 for large text).

Focus Indicators

Visible focus indicators are provided for all interactive elements to support keyboard navigation.

Responsive Design

The site is fully responsive and supports text resizing up to 200% without loss of content or functionality.

Dark Mode Support

A system-aware dark mode with manual toggle is provided to reduce visual strain.

Known Limitations

Despite our best efforts, some areas of the site may not yet be fully accessible:

PDF reports generated by our service may have limited screen reader compatibility depending on the complexity of visual elements and code snippets.
Some interactive data visualizations (score gauges, progress rings) provide text alternatives but may not convey all visual nuances to screen reader users.
Third-party embedded content (if any) may not meet our accessibility standards.

We are actively working to address these limitations. If you encounter any accessibility barriers, please contact us.
