GIGW Accessibility Checker Guide
Guidelines for Indian Government Websites (GIGW) emphasize accessible, usable public digital services. AccessibilityScore.in helps teams find common technical barriers during early triage.
Short Answer
A GIGW accessibility checker is useful for spotting code-level issues quickly, but GIGW readiness still requires content quality, usability, and manual accessibility validation beyond automation.
How automated scanning helps
Automation catches many markup and contrast problems that appear across templates, reducing noise before expert review.
Manual review still required
Keyboard paths, screen reader announcements, PDF and document access, language clarity, and end-to-end citizen journeys need human testing.
Common Questions
Can this tool certify GIGW compliance?
No. It identifies common accessibility issues that may affect GIGW remediation work, but it does not certify GIGW compliance.
What is a good next step after a GIGW-oriented scan?
Remediate serious automated findings, retest, and schedule manual accessibility testing for priority citizen journeys and templates.
