Getting started

Set up your agency, add your first client site and run the first scan.

Updated

1. Create your agency

After you get access, sign up and create an organization. Choose the agency option if you monitor sites for clients, or the company option for your own sites.

2. Add a site

Open Sites → Add site and enter:

  1. the start URL, for example https://www.example.com,
  2. the client's name (used to group sites and for client logins),
  3. optionally, include and exclude paths, such as /blog/*.

AccessWatch reads the site's sitemaps and robots.txt, then crawls from the start URL within your plan's page limit.

3. Run the first scan

Click Scan now. Pages load in a real browser and are checked against WCAG 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2 A and AA rules. A first scan of a few hundred pages usually takes a few minutes.

4. Read the results

The site page shows the score, the problems grouped by fix, and the pages each problem appears on. Start with critical and serious problems that appear on many pages: they usually come from shared templates.
