About Stark

Stark is a set of integrated accessibility tools for product teams. It covers the software lifecycle from detecting issues and fixing them to reporting insights and tracking compliance, with tools that work in design tools, browsers and code.

Designers, developers, product managers and accessibility specialists can sign up for free, while larger organisations can request a demo for the full platform. It suits teams that want accessibility checks built into their everyday design and development work rather than a one-off audit.

  • Covers design, browser and code stages in one suite
  • Free sign-up for individuals
  • Includes reporting and governance for teams

Limitations

  • Aimed mainly at companies, with advanced features behind sales
  • Requires an account
