EnglishWhat is A11Y Boost?
Updated
A11Y Boost is a web accessibility resource hub at a11yboost.com. Its stated purpose is "making the web more accessible," and it serves developers and designers who want to build inclusive websites. It is not a single product or service you sign up for — it is a collection of news, articles, and tools organized around web accessibility topics.
What you'll find on the site
The homepage presents three main content areas under the heading "What are you looking for?":
| Section | What it covers | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| News | Latest news and updates about web accessibility | Staying current on standards, announcements, and industry changes |
| Articles | In-depth written content on accessibility topics | Learning concepts, techniques, and best practices |
| Tools | A collection of accessibility tools | Auditing, testing, or improving an existing website |
Each section links to a full index ("View all news," "View all articles," "View all tools"), so the homepage acts as an entry point rather than the full library.
Who it's for
The site explicitly targets people who "transform your development and design skills to create inclusive websites that work for everyone." In practice, that means:
- Developers looking for practical guidance and tooling to fix or prevent accessibility issues in code.
- Designers who need to account for contrast, keyboard navigation, semantics, and assistive-technology behavior in their work.
- Anyone new to accessibility who wants a starting point before diving into formal specifications.
What it is not
A11Y Boost is a resource hub, not a software product, certification body, or compliance service. The site's own framing — news, articles, tools — describes an editorial and utility collection. If you need a formal audit, legal compliance sign-off, or a paid accessibility platform, this site is a place to learn and find tools, not the service itself.
How to use it
- Start at a11yboost.com and pick the section matching your need: news for updates, articles for learning, tools for hands-on work.
- Browse the full index for each section rather than relying on the homepage, which only shows a preview.
- If you want to contribute or collaborate, the homepage includes a "Want to get involved?" prompt — check that section for how participation works.
The site does not publish pricing information on its homepage, and no payment details are indicated, so treat it as a free-to-browse informational resource unless you find otherwise on the specific pages you visit.
