A Reddit user asked:
‘I’ve inherited over 100 websites that all need some love in regards to accessibility. How do folks solve this problem at scale? I have looked into a few platforms that provide tools for this, but they are all extremely expensive and charge per domain … In an ideal world, I would’ve been around since the creation of these sites, but in the meantime, while I work my way through them, I’d love a tool I can slap on top of them to make them a little better.’
This is a common challenge for web developers and businesses managing multiple sites. I am not aware of a tool that will automatically fix issues.
Businesses look for quick-fix accessibility overlays, but these often don’t work as advertised. Tools like AccessiBe, AudioEye, and others claim to provide instant accessibility, but in reality, they:
🚨 Fail to fully fix compliance issues – They may improve some aspects but don’t correct structural problems in code, navigation, or design.
🚨 Can create a worse experience for disabled users – Many overlays interfere with screen readers, making sites harder to use.
🚨 Don’t prevent lawsuits – Companies using overlays have still been sued for non-compliance.
While there’s no magic tool, there are efficient ways to tackle accessibility across multiple sites:
✅ Start with an audit – Use tools like WAVE, axe DevTools, or Siteimprove to scan sites and prioritize fixes.
✅ Address common issues first – Many accessibility problems (like missing alt text, poor contrast, and incorrect heading structure) can be fixed across sites quickly.
✅ Create a process for updates – As you work through sites, develop accessibility best practices for future content and site updates.
✅ Train your team – If multiple people manage content, ensure they understand how to maintain accessibility moving forward.
✅ Automate where possible – Some tools can flag issues in real time (like browser extensions and CMS plugins), but fixing them requires manual effort.
At Tako Mojo, accessibility isn’t an afterthought—it’s a core part of building great websites.
