Is there a web accessibility checker service out there that gives me actionable advice instead of trying to sell me consulting or webinars? Le Sigh. Any hints welcome.

UPDATE: https://wave.webaim.org did exactly what I was looking for. It showed me the issues right where they are and told me what to do. It is now almost done :) Thx to @josephdickson for the tip!

@jwildeboer I use the Wave tool from the webaim project at Utah State University. https://wave.webaim.org/

After some tweaks and testing, I am down to 3 contrast errors in the pagination box. But for the rest, it seems my blog has become quite a bit better from an accessibility perspective :)

@jwildeboer In the USA, Section 508 compliance tools can be useful for accessibility.

Here are a few lists of tools:

Here is an open source tester and organization with other tools:

Note I haven’t tried these myself but was just reading about them yesterday.
