Cheppers Simplifies Automated Accessibility Testing for Drupal Teams

Staff Reporter

Accessibility has always been part of Drupal’s foundation, but ensuring it scales across large, evolving websites requires more than intent—it demands consistent, automated processes.

Cheppers’ latest blog post explores how automated WCAG checks and AI tools can make accessibility easier and more reliable for developers and editors alike. From integrating tools like Pa11y and axe-core into CI/CD pipelines to deploying AI that flags common issues like missing alt text or poor colour contrast, the post outlines how accessibility can become a routine part of site maintenance and development.

At the heart of their approach is a custom-built accessibility testing system created by senior Drupal specialist Dávid Segesvári. It scans components, delivers actionable reports, and provides ongoing visibility into accessibility health through automated summaries. With support for WCAG 2.1 AAA and 2.2 AA standards, and preparation underway for WCAG 3.0, Cheppers emphasises making accessibility proactive, scalable, and continuous—helping teams deliver truly inclusive digital experiences.
