Accessibility assurance platform · Aotearoa New Zealand

Find accessibility barriers. Track what improves. Show the evidence.

BarrierTrace checks public websites for accessibility issues that software can find. Add human checks, track fixes and keep the results in one place. See what you tested, what improved and what still needs work.

Track progress against WCAG 2.2, the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. Scan results stay separate from human reviews.

From finding to next action

Review the page and the evidence behind a finding.

Choose an affected page in Issues, inspect its recorded finding, then open website review to investigate the detail and guidance. Re-test the same scope after a fix and keep the resulting evidence.

Why BarrierTrace

See the evidence behind the score.

See which pages were tested and what people checked. Keep a record of decisions and changes, so you can explain what improved. Accessibility assurance means having evidence to support what you say about your website.

One evidence trail

Keep your checks and results in one place.

01

Scan results

Run repeat scans across your selected public pages. Scans can find some issues. Other issues need human checks.

02

Human checks

Record checks of keyboard use, screen readers, zoom and content. Include reflow: how content fits when the view changes.

03

Past results and decisions

Keep the evidence and decisions behind each change. Show what was tested, what improved and what still needs work.

AI connection · beta

Ask AI about your test results.

If you have access, connect a supported AI assistant, such as ChatGPT, to your BarrierTrace workspace. Ask about your websites, findings, missing evidence and past reports. The connection uses MCP (Model Context Protocol).

Read-only access within your workspace

The connection can read data within your workspace. It cannot change evidence, start scans or publish changes. Access depends on your AI service and your workplace's rules.

How it works

Choose pages. Check them. Track the work.

Focus on the pages and tasks that matter most. See what scans can check and where people need to review.

  1. 01

    Choose pages

    Map your public website. Choose key pages and plan human checks of the steps people take to use your service.

  2. 02

    Check for issues

    Run scans and add checks done by people. Keep the results distinct.

  3. 03

    Track the work

    Save the findings, decisions and work to fix issues. Show what changed and what still needs work.

An honest boundary

Scans cannot prove your site meets WCAG.

Scans help you find issues. They do not prove your website meets WCAG. You still need checks by people, expert judgement and research with disabled people. BarrierTrace does not replace legal advice.

Scans use the open-source GOVTNZ CWAC scanner, including axe-core checks. BarrierTrace is built independently. It is not endorsed by the New Zealand Government.

Simple portfolio pricing

Introductory prices are a guide and are shown in New Zealand dollars. GST may apply.

Daily page allowances are shared across the active websites in the workspace. When you archive a website, its evidence is kept. Your plan limits how many websites you can replace each month.

For example, Starter covers up to three active websites and 30 page scans per day, with up to 10 pages per website. Scanning 10 pages on each of three websites uses that day’s allowance. Archiving keeps existing evidence; Starter allows one monitored-website replacement per month.

Scan results help you decide what to fix first. They do not prove that your website meets WCAG.
