What is WCAG 2.2 and why does it matter?

WCAG 2.2 is the international standard for web accessibility. It defines how to make websites usable for people with disabilities. Compliance is legally required under the ADA in the US and the European Accessibility Act in the EU. Non-compliance can lead to lawsuits, fines, and lost customers.

What does the full report include?

A branded PDF with your compliance score, every violation grouped by severity, fix instructions with code examples, WCAG criteria mapping for each issue, affected HTML elements, and a list of passed checks. Hand it to your developer or attach it to compliance records.

How is this different from free browser tools?

Free tools flag issues inline but produce no exportable documentation. You cannot share the results with stakeholders, attach them to compliance records, or hand them to a developer with fix instructions. ScanAble produces a professional PDF that serves as both an audit record and a remediation plan.

All state and local government web content must conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA. The clock is ticking.

Complex data tables without proper headers

Budget tables, meeting schedules, and statistical reports often lack <th> elements and scope attributes, making data incomprehensible to screen readers.

Video content without captions

Public meetings, press conferences, and informational videos posted without captions exclude deaf and hard-of-hearing citizens.

Online forms with poor error handling

Permit applications, tax forms, and registration systems often show errors without associating them with the specific field that needs correction.
