About
WAVE (Web Accessibility Evaluation Tool), developed by WebAIM at Utah State University, is a free suite of evaluation tools that helps authors make their web content more accessible to people with disabilities. WAVE identifies accessibility and WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) errors directly on the page — flagging missing alt text, low-contrast text, improper heading structures, missing form labels, and other barriers that affect users who rely on assistive technologies. For teams managing sites on dotCMS, WAVE provides a quick, free way to audit individual pages for accessibility issues during content creation and QA. It's a tool for content editors and developers who want to catch accessibility problems before they go live — particularly valuable for government, education, and healthcare organizations subject to Section 508 or WCAG 2.1 compliance requirements.
