Axcess FAQs

Question 1

How is Axcess accessed and what is the pricing model?

Accepted Answer

Axcess is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server accessible via Claude.ai integrations, Claude Desktop, or programmatically for AI agents and scripts. Evaluations are priced per use, starting at $0.05 USDC, paid conveniently via the x402 micropayment protocol on Base mainnet.

Question 2

Is Axcess only for WCAG compliance, or does it cover other design aspects?

Accepted Answer

While Axcess ensures WCAG minimums, its core strength lies in evaluating design-craft rules from renowned typographers like Bringhurst and Lupton. It aims for a higher standard of typographic quality, readability, and aesthetic excellence beyond mere compliance.

Question 3

How does Axcess differ from standard accessibility scanners like axe or Lighthouse?

Accepted Answer

Axcess goes beyond basic WCAG failures by evaluating complex typography issues that automated tools miss. It assesses contextual contrast ratio, line length, line height, text on various backgrounds, and advanced design-craft rules for optimal readability, not just compliance.

Question 4

What specific typography issues can Axcess identify?

Accepted Answer

Axcess identifies problems with contrast ratio considering font weight, minimum font sizes for different text types, line height adequacy (including for dyslexic users), line length comfort, extended all-caps/italic use, letter spacing extremes, text on complex backgrounds, and adherence to established design-craft rules.
