Equalize Digital Selected by NASA for Automated Accessibility Testing

Equalize Digital's Accessibility Checker has been chosen by NASA for automated accessibility testing within WordPress. To enhance readability for non-developers, Equalize Digital has developed a front-end highlighting feature that displays a link on each accessibility issue in the reports. When clicked, the link takes the user to a public view of the webpage, highlighting the problematic elements with a dashed pink box and providing a panel with information on how to address the issues.
