Equalize Digital is dedicated to making the internet work for people with disabilities. Thousands of agencies, developers and content creators use their Accessibility Checker software to find website accessibility problems quickly.
Joost and Marieke are deeply committed to improving the web. It started with ‘SEO for Everyone’ at Yoast and extended into their investment philosophy. This perfectly aligns with our vision to build an accessible web that truly works for everyone, regardless of ability. We're excited to align ourselves with investors who believe in our vision. They also bring expertise and connections in the software development and the WordPress space to help us make that vision a reality.
Equalize Digital Accessibility Checker is an automated accessibility scanning tool that helps WordPress websites become and stay accessible. Accessibility Checker dynamically scans, monitors, and reports on the accessibility of websites in real-time as content, themes, and plugins are updated.
Users can see accessibility reports directly in the WordPress dashboard, which helps them find and fix problems before they go live. These automated tests significantly speed up manual accessibility testing processes, which in turn helps website owners take a proactive rather than reactive approach to accessibility.
Using Equalize Digital’s Accessibility Checker can help websites to comply with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). This is a key step towards complying with website accessibility laws worldwide.
