About Wexlo

The European Accessibility Act has applied to e-commerce, banking, and other consumer-facing services since 28 June 2025.

The market tends to answer with one of two extremes. On one side, overlays that drop a layer over the website and promise that settles it. On the other, enterprise audit suites priced for a compliance department.

We think the middle is missing. Real findings in real code. Concrete enough to work with. Affordable enough to run continuously.

What you buy from us is not a scan but the cycle around it: establish what is wrong, hand it to whoever fixes it, re-test on the next scan, and record what changed. Those four steps run in your customer portal, and the log that comes out is what you show an auditor or a regulator.

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, and it never overrules the engine: it cannot add to, remove from, or re-rank what the engine found.

On a paid scan an AI layer does flag possible extra issues on five text criteria, and on images if you switch on image analysis. Those carry the label “AI indication: confirmation needed” and never count towards your score.

Every finding names the rule, the WCAG criterion, and the CSS selector, so the fix lands in your source code, not in a widget.

The name itself is neutral: Wexlo makes no claim the reports don't back up. The meaning lives in the logo.

The mark is a W built from two overlapping checkmarks. The first one stands for finding: the automated scan that shows where your site fails WCAG 2.1 AA. The second stands for verifying: the re-check that confirms a fix actually landed.

A finding isn't closed until it has been checked twice, and that second check is exactly what most of this market skips. It is also how the European Accessibility Act works: finding the failures is half the job, proving they are fixed is the other half.

The colors carry it too: accent blue wherever a scan reports something, deepink for what has been verified.

Under WCAG 1.4.11 a logo only owes 3:1 against its background. Ours clears 5.67:1 for the blue check and 19.28:1 for the deepink one in the worst case. Even the checkmarks are held to the standard they measure.

That you're “100% compliant”. No automated scan can establish that.

Automated scanning finds roughly 30 to 50% of real accessibility issues. Independent testing by the UK Government Digital Service put the best single tool at 41%; Deque, which makes the scanner we use, reports 57% on its own data. We stay with the lower estimate. The rest needs human judgment.

So every report states which criteria were tested automatically and which need manual review. A vendor that promises full compliance from a scan is overclaiming.

No false certainty. That honesty is the product.

Wexlo is an accessibility service based in Amsterdam.

The service runs primarily on EU infrastructure; where your data lives is documented in the privacy policy, per provider.
