Evinced raises $17M to speed up accessibility testing for the web
Making and keeping the web accessible is a full-time job, and like any other development role, accessibility tools need to evolve to keep up with the times. Evinced is a startup that promises both richer and faster checks of websites in production or in progress, and it just raised $17 million to take its tools to the next level.
Because accessibility problems can happen in so many ways, it often takes a lot of manual code review to catch the errors. Even a team thinking about making their site fully accessible from the start which should be everyone can miss that this script doesn’t hook into that variable right if this menu is opened, and so on.
