 We want to make Wagtail accessible for users of a wide variety of assistive technologies. The specific standard we aim for is `WCAG2.1 <https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/>`_, AA level. Wagtail’s administration user interface isn’t accessible at the moment (see `issue #4199 <https://github.com/wagtail/wagtail/issues/4199>`_), but here are specific assistive technologies we aim to test for, and ultimately support:

+We aim for Wagtail to work in those environments. Our development standards ensure that the site is usable with other assistive technologies. In practice, testing with assistive technology can be a daunting task that requires specialised training – here are tools we rely on to help identify accessibility issues, to use during development and code reviews:
 
-* `Axe <https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/axe/lhdoppojpmngadmnindnejefpokejbdd>`_ for automated tests of a given page.
-* `Accessibility Insights for Web <https://accessibilityinsights.io/docs/en/web/overview>`_ for semi-automated tools, and manual audits.
+* `react-axe <https://github.com/dequelabs/react-axe>`_ integrated directly in our build tools, to identify actionable issues. Logs its results in the browser console.
