Toggle it. The photo has no alt text, so it announces as “graphic”. The button has no accessible name, so it announces as “button” — and the customer has no idea what it does.
Someone lands on your site using a screen reader, or with the text enlarged, or unable to use a mouse, or on a cracked phone in bright sun. Your button has no label. Your form doesn’t say which field is wrong. They leave — and it shows up in your analytics as a bounce, not as a barrier.
No scare tactics
You’ll see vendors imply that Philippine law will fine your business for an inaccessible website. That isn’t accurate, and we’re not going to tell you it is. Here’s the real picture.
The Implementing Rules of RA 7277 require government websites to comply with web accessibility guidelines. The standard is ICTO-NCDA Joint Circular 1-2010, reinforced by DICT Memorandum Circular 004. If you bid for LGU or national agency work, this is a procurement requirement.
The European Accessibility Act applies to businesses outside the EU that sell to EU consumers — e-commerce, banking, transport, media, digital services. Micro-enterprises under 10 staff and €2M turnover are generally exempt, but growing past that brings you in scope.
No Philippine law currently compels you. The case here is commercial, not legal: customers you can’t serve are customers you don’t earn from, and inclusion is increasingly a condition of the contracts, grants, and partnerships worth having.
We’d rather you buy this because it grows your business than because we frightened you.
What GEDSI adds
GEDSI stands for Gender Equality, Disability and Social Inclusion — the lens development partners, donors, and corporate procurement teams use to judge whether something actually reaches everyone. A code scanner tells you a button is missing a label. It won’t tell you your checkout assumes a bank account.
| A standard scanner finds | We also flag |
|---|---|
| Missing alt text | Images that only represent one demographic |
| Low colour contrast | Language assuming a gender, income level, or device |
| Unlabelled form fields | Forms demanding a gender binary or formal employment |
| Missing heading structure | Reading level that shuts out half your market |
| Keyboard traps | Voice-only support, excluding Deaf customers |
| No skip link | Payment steps that exclude the unbanked |
Any public page. Start with the one that makes you money — your homepage, a product page, your checkout.
Your page runs against the WCAG 2.2 AA success criteria, then the GEDSI checks. You’ll see progress as it goes.
Every issue in plain language: what’s wrong, who it affects, and the code to fix it. Hand it to your developer, or hand it to us.
Not a score and a sales call. An itemised list you can work through.

WCAG 1.4.3 Contrast (Minimum)
Your signup form offers Male or Female as required radio buttons. This excludes customers and fails the inclusion criteria most development partners now audit against.

What we won’t claim
An automated scan is genuinely useful and genuinely limited.
It catches the mechanical issues. It cannot catch the rest, because the rest need a human. No tool can judge whether your alt text actually describes the image, whether a screen reader user can complete your checkout end to end, or whether your error messages make sense to someone who can’t see the field turn red.
So here’s what we won’t tell you: passing this scan does not certify that your website is legally compliant, and we won’t issue you a certificate saying it does. Anyone offering you that from an automated tool is selling something they can’t deliver.
What the free scan gives you is an honest baseline and a prioritised list. When you need conformance you can stand behind — for a client, a regulator, or a grant application — that takes a human audit with assistive technology. We do those too.

Every inaccessible checkout is abandoned revenue you never see in your reports.
Your EU and US clients are being asked to prove conformance down their supply chain. Soon they’ll ask you.
Your donors audit for GEDSI. Your website is the first thing they look at.
Joint Circular 1-2010 conformance is a procurement requirement. Turn up with it already done.
Yes. Paste a URL, get a score and a prioritised issue list, no card and no signup required to see your result. We ask for your email if you want the PDF sent to you — that’s the only gate.
Those are good tools and we use them ourselves. Two differences. They hand you developer output; we hand you plain language plus the code, so a business owner can act without a translator. And they check code only — we add the GEDSI layer that no code scanner detects.
No, and we won’t tell you it does. Automated scanning catches the mechanical issues. Judgement calls — whether your alt text is accurate, whether a screen reader user can finish your checkout — need a human. For conformance you can defend, you need the full audit.
If you’re a government body or bidding for government work, yes — Joint Circular 1-2010 applies. If you’re a private business selling only domestically, no law currently compels you. If you sell to EU consumers, the European Accessibility Act likely applies, though micro-enterprises under 10 staff and €2M turnover are generally exempt. Unsure which bucket you’re in? Ask us on a call and we’ll tell you straight.
We scan the page you submit, generate your report, and retain it for [X days] so you can come back to it. We don’t sell your data and we don’t scan anything you didn’t ask us to. We process personal data under the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (RA 10173). Full detail in our privacy policy and tool terms of use.
The free scan only reaches public pages. Members’ areas, dashboards, and checkout flows behind authentication need the full audit, where we test with credentials you provide.
