Why we don't build an accessibility overlay
Overlays promise to fix accessibility with a script. We think finding a barrier and fixing it are two different jobs.
An accessibility overlay is a script, plugin, or widget added to a website that tries to detect or change accessibility issues as the page loads. The appeal is clear: add one line of code and avoid a long remediation project.
The barriers are still there, in the code and content that create them. A visitor using a screen reader or a keyboard can still run into them.
What we build instead
Ility uses automation where it helps: discovering pages, monitoring for issues that can be detected automatically, spotting patterns, and keeping the history. Then your team, or a partner you choose, fixes each barrier where it lives.
After a fix, Ility checks the affected pages again, so you know the barrier is gone rather than hidden.
Automation has limits
Some questions need a person: whether a page is understandable, whether the focus order makes sense, or whether alt text is useful. We don't claim that automation answers them. We give the people who do the work a clear place to manage it.
