Implementing accessibility at the code level is complex and time-consuming.
Without the right tools, developers often struggle to identify and fix issues, while managers risk losing focus on core priorities.
That’s why accessiBe created accessFlow - an intuitive, AI-driven accessibility management platform that helps developers write inclusive, compliant code without having any prior experience or knowledge of web accessibility.
accessFlow 2.0: A tool for developers and team leaders
accessFlow was created by developers for developers so that they can build accessible digital environments from the ground up and in a way that seamlessly fits into their workflow.
Powered by accessiBe’s AI technology, accessFlow scans code, highlights accessibility issues, and shows developers exactly how to fix them. That way, they can resolve problems efficiently, even without any prior accessibility knowledge or experience.
accessFlow also greatly assists developer team leads, providing them with full visibility and control.
By integrating accessibility into the software development lifecycle (SDLC) from the outset, accessFlow enables teams to address accessibility proactively, catching issues early, reducing the risk of non-compliance, and improving overall development efficiency.
Just as importantly, accessFlow is built to fit into existing workflows.
It integrates directly with the tools your team already uses, like Jira, GitHub, and monday.com, with no third-party implementation or custom setup required. Like your testing or threat detection tools, it just works in the background, without disrupting how your team ships code.
How does accessFlow work?
accessFlow uses an AI-powered engine to automatically scan your website for accessibility and compliance issues based on the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). It detects problems, prioritizes them by severity, and provides clear guidance for resolution, all before deployment.
The auditing process begins with your homepage, then continues by following internal links to crawl your entire website.
Using a headless Chrome browser, accessFlow simulates real user interactions to generate a realistic and comprehensive assessment of accessibility across all pages.
Importantly, accessFlow operates externally; it doesn’t require any code to be hosted on your site and won’t modify your existing code.
Three ways to tackle accessibility issues
accessFlow gives teams flexibility in how they approach remediation, based on their priorities and workflow:
- By severity: Start with the most critical issues that significantly impact usability or compliance, and work your way down to less severe ones
- By rule: Focus on specific categories of issues, such as missing ARIA labels, unlabeled form elements, or color contrast errors. This method helps uncover patterns in your codebase and enables you to apply consistent fixes across multiple areas of your site
- By web page: Tackle issues within a specific page or selection of your website. This approach is ideal for developers working on distinct components or features, allowing them to stay focused and remediate without disrupting their workflow
Deeper understanding for those who want it
For developers who prefer to understand the why behind each fix, accessFlow provides concise, easy-to-digest explanations for every remediation step. This deepens accessibility knowledge across the team and helps prevent recurring issues in future development cycles.
Get to know accessFlow
acessFlow is built of a number of core features. Let’s walk you through them:
The dashboard
accessFlow’s central hub offers a comprehensive overview of your website's accessibility posture. It displays:
- A live accessibility score based on issue volume and severity
- A breakdown of problems by severity level
- Trends over time showing how accessibility has improved or regressed
- A comparison between identified problems and the number of pages scanned
- A timeline view showing changes across a defined audit period
Besides being the “home base” for project managers, team leads, and developers, the dashboard provides all stakeholders with a high-level, update view of their accessibility project.
Those who lack technical expertise and a deep understanding of web accessibility can see the state of their site’s accessibility through the posture report. They can also gain a clear picture of a given project’s timeline through the ‘progress over time’ and ‘team progress’ charts - updated in real time.
The Explore page:
The Explore page gives you a granular view of accessibility issues across your site. You can group and filter issues by:
- Specific WCAG guideline violation
- Severity level
- Number of occurrences
This Explore page is particularly useful for team leaders, empowering them to delegate tasks to specific team members according to their needs and shifting priorities.
They can view all tasks in a unified list, or separated according to the web pages they appear on.
This is also where team leads can export tasks to Jira, monday.com, or the CRM they use, to really integrate accessibility into their workflows.
The Remediation Panel
Accessible from both the dashboard and Explore page, the Remediation Panel is where developers take action.
For each issue, it provides clear descriptions, relevant WCAG references, and suggested code fixes, enabling fast, accurate remediation, even without prior accessibility experience.
Additionally, developers are presented with detailed explanations to help them avoid replicating a given issue moving forward.
Journeys
Journeys let you audit key user flows to ensure that complex, multi-step interactions are accessible and compliant. These can include:
- Account creation and login
- Checkout and payment flows
- Form submissions or surveys
- Content filtering and search
- Navigation through multi-page processes
- Triggering dynamic elements like popups
Developers and team leads can record these flows using a session recorder or define them manually, gaining full control over which interactions to test and monitor.
accesiBe uses accessFlow, too
You may have heard that we’ve launched our new website.
To create a site that is natively accessible (and one that befits a brand championing web accessibility), our developers relied on accessFlow throughout the entire process.
This resulted in a website that looks awesome - if you’ll excuse a little bragging on our part - and, more importantly, which strictly follows accessibility guidelines.
Start your accessibility journey now
More and more organizations are realizing the importance of shifting left on accessibility.
With accessFlow, you empower your team to identify and resolve accessibility issues early in the development process, before they become blockers or liabilities.
Whether you're building new features or managing large-scale projects, accessFlow helps you make accessibility a natural part of how your team works: Efficiently, collaboratively, and at scale.
