Getting Started with navable
navable is a web accessibility auditing platform that helps you ensure your websites comply with WCAG standards. This guide walks you through setting up your account and running your first audit.
Onboarding
The onboarding flow guides you through four steps:
- Choose a plan and sign up — Go to the Pricing page, choose your tier (Freemium, Basic, or Pro), and create your account with an email address or social login.
- Secure payment — You'll be redirected to a secure checkout to set up your payment method. Paid plans (Basic and Pro) include a 7-day free trial. Your organization is automatically created using the name you provide during checkout.
- Set up domain — After checkout, enter your website's domain URL (e.g.,
https://example.com). This is the domain navable will audit and where the accessibility widget can be embedded. - Access dashboard — Once your domain is set, you're redirected to the Embed Widget page where you can install the accessibility widget on your site right away.
You can also start by going directly to the navable Dashboard — if you don't have an organization yet, you'll be redirected to the pricing page to begin onboarding.
Navigating the Dashboard
The sidebar is organized into sections:
- Application — Home (overview) and Settings (domain and audit configuration).
- Audit — Accessibility Overview (main audit hub), Scheduled Audits, and Analytics (KPI trends).
- Widget — Embed Widget (install the accessibility widget on your site).
- Tools — Accessibility Declaration (generate WCAG compliance statements).
- Subscriptions — Subscription (manage your plan and billing).
Use the organization switcher at the top of the sidebar to switch between organizations if you belong to more than one.
Your First Audit

- Add URLs — Navigate to Accessibility Overview and click Add URL to add the pages you want to audit.
- Configure interaction steps (optional) — If any pages require login or navigation steps, click Set up on a URL to configure interaction steps. See Interaction Steps.
