WCAGBrief is the professional WCAG 2.2 AAA, European Accessibility Act (EAA), and US ADA accessibility auditor built directly into Google Chrome's native Side Panel.

WCAGBrief bridges the gap between deep technical auditing and client-ready deliverables: ✔ Native Chrome Side Panel — Audit side-by-side without obscuring your client's webpage ✔ White-Label PDF Exporter — Add your studio logo, custom brand colors, and contact info ✔ Ready-to-Copy Framework Fixes — Tailored snippets for React, Shopify Liquid, Tailwind & WordPress ✔ Guided Keyboard Navigation Check — Catch the ~60% of focus and keyboard traps that automated scanners miss ✔ Client Remediation Quote Estimator — Calculate estimated dev hours and fees based on your custom hourly rate ✔ 100% Local-First Privacy — Zero webpage DOM or customer data is transmitted to external servers ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🚀 KEY CAPABILITIES & FEATURES ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 1. 1-CLICK WCAG 2.2 AAA & EU EAA DOM AUDIT ▸ Automated DOM scan powered by Axe-core combined with custom WCAG 2.2 AAA heuristics. ▸ Full legal compliance mapping: • European Accessibility Act (EN 301 549 Annex A) — mandatory June 28, 2025 • Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA Title III & Title II) • Section 508 & WCAG 2.1 / 2.2 Level A, AA, and AAA ▸ Visual DOM highlighter: Click "Locate" on any violation to instantly highlight and scroll to the element in the live page. 2. READY-TO-COPY FRAMEWORK CODE REMEDIATIONS Stop searching documentation. Get production-ready, copy-paste code snippets for your exact tech stack: ▸ React / Next.js JSX (proper aria-* attributes, semantic wrappers) ▸ Shopify Liquid templates (accessible image filters, cart form controls) ▸ Tailwind CSS (accessible focus rings, high-contrast utility pairings) ▸ WordPress PHP & Semantic HTML5 (accessible skip links, landmarks, button tags) 3. 5-MINUTE GUIDED KEYBOARD NAVIGATION CHECKLIST Automated scanners only detect 30–40% of digital accessibility barriers.

CLIENT QUOTE & REMEDIATION EFFORT ESTIMATOR ▸ Automatically estimates developer remediation time based on violation count and severity. ▸ Input your agency's hourly rate (e.g. $95/hr, $125/hr, $150/hr). ▸ Generates suggested project fees and client proposal totals instantly. 5. WHITE-LABEL CLIENT PDF REPORT EXPORTER ▸ Export high-converting, boardroom-ready PDF audit reports in seconds. ▸ Upload your agency or studio logo. ▸ Customize brand accent colors and business contact details. ▸ Multi-format export: Download PDF proposals, CSV issue logs, or Markdown (.md) task backlogs for Jira/Linear/GitHub. ▸ Generate multi-language Accessibility Statements (EN, DE, FR, ES, IT, NL). ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔒 LOCAL-FIRST PRIVACY & ZERO TRACKING ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✔ 100% Local DOM Execution: All accessibility scanning occurs strictly inside your local browser memory. ✔ Zero Webpage Transmission: Not a single byte of your webpage HTML or browsing session is sent to remote servers. ✔ Least-Privilege Permissions: WCAGBrief strictly requests activeTab, sidePanel, storage, and scripting permissions. No <all_urls> wildcards, no background proxies, and no cookies access. ✔ No tracking, no advertising pixels, and zero third-party data selling. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 💼 WHO IS WCAGBRIEF BUILT FOR? ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • Web Development Agencies pitching high-value accessibility retainers and compliance upgrades • Shopify & E-commerce Developers preparing merchant storefronts for the EU EAA 2025 deadline • Frontend Engineers & Tech Leads building accessible React, Next.js, Vue, and WordPress applications • UI/UX Designers validating color contrast ratios, focus states, and touch target sizes • Digital Consultants & QA Teams needing fast, side-by-side compliance verification ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ❓ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Q: Does WCAGBrief send my client's site data to external servers? A: No. Audits run 100% locally in your browser session via Chrome's native Side Panel API. Q: Can I use WCAGBrief for staging, localhost, and password-protected pages? A: Yes. Because WCAGBrief runs locally on your active tab, it inspects localhost, staging environments, intranets, and password-protected client checkouts without requiring public URLs or firewall bypasses. Q: How does this help with the European Accessibility Act (EAA)? A: Starting June 28, 2025, the European Accessibility Act requires commercial e-commerce websites and digital services selling into the EU to comply with EN 301 549 (WCAG 2.2 AA). WCAGBrief automatically maps violations directly to EN 301 549 clauses so you can demonstrate compliance to European clients. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Start auditing in seconds.
