Can automated accessibility checks tell us whether our site is usable for people with disabilities?

Question

Accepted Answer

Automated checkers can identify common accessibility issues, but they cannot find everything that may prevent someone from using a site. Manual checks can uncover barriers automated tests miss; for example, navigating a page with a keyboard can reveal problems a scan may not detect. Annex’s published guidance notes that testing by a knowledgeable professional is best. The right testing approach depends on the site and the users it needs to serve.
