The internet is where we order groceries, buy clothes, pay rent, find an electrician, and so much more. Millions of people with disabilities struggle to accomplish these tasks because less than 2% of websites are accessible and therefore too difficult to find. accessFind is here to change that.
A nonprofit initiative ❤️ by accessiBe and disability communities
When looking for services, products, or information online, we use a search engine. But since less than 2% of websites are accessible to people with disabilities, the chances of them finding accessible search results is slim to none. This results in a huge accessibility gap and closes them off from so many opportunities and choices.
Until the majority of websites are accessible, we need to find a way to display accessible websites for web users with disabilities.
There are about 200,000 accessible websites, a drop in the bucket compared to almost 1 Billion inaccessible websites. That being said, this is still a significant amount of services, online stores, and informational websites that web users with disabilities would, and should, use today if they knew where to find them.
accessFind is a search engine that will display only accessible websites in the search results.
All accessible websites are welcomed on accessFind. If you have an accessible website and want it to be featured on the search engine, register it today!
Website accessibility is determined by several methods such as free automated testing tools like aCe and AXE, and manual community-based testing and vendor forms.
accessFind is built with the community, for the community. Constant feedback from founding members and their communities is key to implementing new features, improvements, and ideas.
accessFind lists websites that adhere to WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Therefore users with most types of disabilities, whether physical, visual, or cognitive, can use accessFind.
