WAVE Web Accessibility Evaluation Tool

This is pretty middle of the road. It does a good job of picking out some of the low-hanging fruit, but it's not going properly evaluate semantic structure and will pop several false positives. Additionally, the tools are incomplete. For instance, the contrast editor will allow you to test your colors with sliders so you can get the closest color that passes; however, that isn't how color palettes work, you generally don't get to change a companies palette without a lot of pain; furthermore, there is no ability to adjust the font-size and both font-size AND color are used to determine contrast requirements. Oh, and they use points VS pixels...nobody is using points on the web even if the ADA uses them in their fairly dated guidelines. Text from the actual contrast editor "Text is present that has a contrast ratio less than 4.5:1, or large text (larger than 18 point or 14 point bold) has a contrast ratio less than 3:1.". 14pt = 18.66 pixels, so I can see their logic even if I don't agree with it

• Creates a great visual display of where the error is located, both in HTML source and page view.
• An excellent option in the contrast checker is to select the color slider to locate a color that will pass accessible.
• Clearly displays the alt text of images to check that it makes sense and is accurate
• Great at indicating if an error is visually hidden but in the code.
• Clean, organized, easy-to-understand details report

The other tools would be a little better than WAVE Web Accessibility Evaluation Tool. They do require you to pay for their services but offer more support on a daily basis so I would say it would be worth the money. However, I could not go ahead with the websites because they don't work with websites created on GoDaddy Managed Websites and I had to go with WAVE Web Accessibility Evaluation Tool.
