Alt text & image semantics
Flags <img> without alt, decorative images marked as meaningful, and icon-only buttons with no accessible name.
Accessibility for the AI-built web
WCAG/ADA checks tuned for AI-generated frontends
Key Takeaways
- WCAG/ADA compliance checks purpose-built for AI-generated frontends.
- Catches accessibility violations in machine-written markup before release.
- Start free; paid plans add continuous monitoring.
A11yGuard scans a URL or pasted AI-generated markup and flags the exact accessibility bugs that code generators introduce — missing alt text, low contrast, broken ARIA, mouse-only interactions, unlabeled inputs, and jumbled heading order. With plain-English fixes, so your AI-built UI actually ships accessible.
Built for the EAA era — checks map to EN 301 549 / WCAG 2.1 AA

What it catches
Checks tuned to how AI writes UI
Generic linters miss what AI codegen actually gets wrong. A11yGuard is built around the failure modes of vibe-coded and AI-generated frontends.
Color contrast (WCAG AA)
Detects the low-contrast text that AI picks from design tokens — text-white on light, muted grays, and auto themes that fail AA.
ARIA & semantic roles
Catches div onClick without role="button", missing aria-label, and ARIA that hides content from screen readers.
Keyboard navigation
Flags mouse-only interactions, missing tabindex, focus traps, and controls you can't reach or operate without a pointer.
Form labels
Finds inputs, selects, and textareas with no associated <label> or aria-label — a top ADA lawsuit trigger.
Heading order
Detects skipped heading levels (h1 → h3), multiple h1s, and sections screen-reader users can't navigate.
How it works
From URL or markup to a fixable report in seconds
Enter a URL or paste markup
Drop in a live page URL, or paste the AI-generated component markup (React, Next.js, Vue, Svelte) you just built.
Run the WCAG/ADA checklist
A11yGuard runs the accessibility checklist across alt text, contrast, ARIA, keyboard nav, labels, and heading order.
Get violations + fixes
Each finding shows the exact element and a plain-English fix, mapped to the WCAG success criterion it violates.
The deadline is already here
The European Accessibility Act is in force
The EU Accessibility Act (Directive (EU) 2019/882) has been enforceable since 28 June 2025. New products and services sold to EU consumers must meet accessibility requirements now — and the technical bar is EN 301 549, which aligns with WCAG 2.1 Level AA for web content.
Enforcement
28 June 2025
EAA obligations are live. New products/services to EU consumers must comply now.
Technical standard
EN 301 549 = WCAG 2.1 AA
The EU reference standard for web content accessibility. Build to this bar.
Coming update
~Oct 2026
An updated EN 301 549 is expected in the EU Official Journal. Build to WCAG 2.2 AA to absorb it.
Microenterprise carve-out
Services only
Under 10 employees & <€2M turnover exempts services — but not products. Shipping software? The exemption likely doesn't cover you.
Penalties
Up to 4% turnover
Per member state; France, for example, can reach six figures or 4% of turnover.
Also applies
ADA (US) & more
US ADA lawsuits over inaccessible websites are common — the same fixes cover both regimes.
Why it matters for AI-built UIs: AI code generators don't know the law. They ship interfaces that look fine but fail keyboards, screen readers, and contrast checks — exactly what the EAA and ADA now hold you liable for. A11yGuard closes that gap before launch.

Frequently asked questions
No. A11yGuard is a decision-support and testing tool, not a law firm or a certification. It maps findings to WCAG success criteria so you can fix issues and keep evidence, but it does not issue a "compliant" verdict or legal opinion. For binding assessments, consult qualified counsel.
The microenterprise exemption (under 10 employees and under €2M turnover) applies to services, not products. Software you sell to EU consumers is generally treated as a product, so the exemption likely does not shield you. Enforcement began 28 June 2025.
EN 301 549 currently aligns with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. An updated standard is expected in the EU Official Journal around October 2026 that moves toward WCAG 2.2 AA. A11yGuard's checks are tuned so building to 2.2 AA today absorbs the upcoming update.
A11yGuard accepts a live URL or pasted markup and supports React, Next.js, Vue, and Svelte, plus any other HTML you paste. The checklist targets framework-agnostic WCAG failures common in AI-generated UI.
