The WCAG-EM Report tool is an assistant that takes the user through the process of evaluating the accessibility of a website, using the WCAG Evaluation Methodology.
It is developed by the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) at the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Initially developed with support from the WAI-ACT Project, and updated with support of the WAI-Tools Project, co-funded by the European Commission (EC).

For local development, you will need to have Node installed.
We use Svelte so that we can express the code of this project in components and Rollup to bundle all JavaScript together.
- Clone the repository (you can fork it first)
- In the project folder, run
npm install, this gets all the Node dependencies
- For development, run
npm run dev, this builds the project, serves the application on a local server so that you can look at it and watches for any changes you make to the code - To only build the application, run
npm run build, this builds the project without serving it.
If you want to publish this tool somewhere that is not the root domain (eg w3.org/WAI/eval/report-tool instead of wcagemreporttool.com), set the BASEPATH variable before you run npm run build|dev, for example:
export BASEPATH="/WAI/eval/report-tool"This ensures routing and paths to assets continue to work.
If you find any problem, feel free to file an issue.
You can also add a new language, see How to add a language.
