About Wexlo

Wexlo is an accessibility scanning service from Amsterdam, built for one job: showing you exactly where your site fails WCAG 2.1 AA and how to fix it — with evidence you can hand to a developer, an auditor, or a market-surveillance authority.

Why we exist

The European Accessibility Act has applied to e-commerce, banking, and other consumer-facing services since 28 June 2025. Most tools in this market respond with one of two extremes: a JavaScript overlay that claims to fix accessibility client-side, or an enterprise audit suite priced for a compliance department. We think the middle is missing — real findings in real code, at a price a normal business can justify.

How we work

The axe-core rule engine decides what fails — the same open-source engine used by accessibility teams worldwide. AI writes the plain-language explanation and the fix suggestion; it never adds, removes, or re-judges findings. Every finding names the rule, the WCAG criterion, and the CSS selector, so the fix lands in your source code, not in a widget.

What we won't tell you

That you're "100% compliant". Automated checks reliably cover roughly 30–50% of the WCAG 2.1 AA success criteria; the rest needs human judgment. Every report states which criteria were tested automatically and which need manual review. A vendor that promises full compliance from a scan is overclaiming — that honesty is the product.
