Which Accessibility Standards Does Access8 Support?

Access8 provides features aligned with every major accessibility standard. Here is what each one requires and who it applies to.

ADA

Americans with Disabilities Act

Applies to:US businesses with public-facing websites
WCAG 2.1

Web Content Accessibility Guidelines

The international standard published by the W3C. Organized around four principles: Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, and Robust (POUR). 96.3% of homepages fail basic WCAG checks according to the WebAIM Million study.

Section 508

EAA

European Accessibility Act

European ICT Accessibility Standard

The technical standard referenced by the EAA. Incorporates WCAG 2.1 Level AA as the baseline for web content and covers websites, mobile apps, software, and electronic documents.

Applies to:Businesses subject to EAA compliance

Why Is Access8 Completely Free?

Accessibility should not be a premium product. The ability to use the web comfortably is a basic right, not a feature behind a paywall.

Vision8 Solutions built Access8 as an open-source contribution to the web. There is no freemium trap. No data harvesting business model. No "upgrade to comply" upsell. Just a tool that works — for everyone, forever.

The market reality: Competitors charge $490 to $3,990 per year per website for features that Access8 provides for free. For a small business running three websites, that is up to $12,000/year saved.

100% Free, Forever

Not freemium. Not a trial. No usage caps. All 29+ features, unlimited sites.

Zero Tracking

No cookies. No pixels. No fingerprints. No server calls. GDPR compliant by design.

Open Source

What an Accessibility Widget Cannot Do

We believe in transparency. Here is what you should know.

A widget cannot fix structural HTML issues, missing alt text in source code, or broken form labels.

A widget is not a substitute for a proper accessibility audit by a qualified professional.

25% of ADA lawsuits in 2025 cited overlay widgets as evidence of awareness without proper remediation.

Access8 helps users customize their browsing experience — it is one layer of a complete accessibility strategy, not a silver bullet.

Our recommendation

Use Access8 as your first layer of accessibility. Then pair it with semantic HTML review, manual accessibility audits, and screen reader testing for comprehensive coverage. Access8 is a starting point — a genuinely helpful one — not an endpoint.
