- WAVE. Originating in Temple University and created under a grant from the special education division of the United States Department of Education, WAVE is a Web accessibility evaluation tool operated by WebAim as a free community service. WAVE tests Web pages for compliance with the U.S. Section 508 guidelines and the W3C’s Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.0). You can use the WAVE online service to check any Web page online, or you can install the WAVE Extension which lets you check any Web page for compliance as it is viewed by the Chrome or Firefox browser. How well do your Web pages comply when you check them with WAVE?
