Accessibility Demo

Experience the difference between accessible and inaccessible web pages. Use these demos to test the Axibly extension and learn about WCAG compliance.

What Are These Demos?

These interactive demos showcase the difference between web pages built with accessibility in mind versus those that ignore accessibility standards. Both pages contain the same content—images, forms, text, tables, and interactive elements—but are implemented very differently.

The Inaccessible Demo contains common accessibility violations that many websites have, often unknowingly. These issues make the page difficult or impossible to use for people who rely on screen readers, keyboard navigation, or other assistive technologies.

The Accessible Demo shows the same content built correctly, following WCAG 2.1 Level AA guidelines. This version works for everyone, regardless of how they browse the web.

How to Use These Demos

  1. Install the Axibly Extension

    Download the free Axibly extension from the Chrome Web Store to detect accessibility issues automatically.

  2. Visit the Inaccessible Demo

    Run the extension on the inaccessible page to see how it detects violations like missing alt text, poor contrast, and improper form labels.

  3. Compare with the Accessible Demo

    Run the extension on the accessible page to see how a properly built page passes all checks with zero violations.

  4. Learn from the Differences

    Use the side-by-side comparison to understand exactly what changes are needed to fix each type of accessibility issue.
