Create a Project Using Add URLs Manually

Creating a project is the first step to start accessibility testing in BarrierBreak A11yNow.

In A11yNow, all accessibility scans, issues, reports, and progress insights are associated with a project. Without creating a project, accessibility testing cannot be performed.
Add URL Manually allows teams to create a project by specifying individual page URLs instead of crawling an entire domain. This method is useful when testing specific pages, staging environments, restricted sections, or pages behind authentication.

Steps to Create a Project Using Add URLs Manually​

  1. Navigate to BarrierBreak A11yNow.
  2. Select Projects from the main navigation and click Create Project.
  3. Select Add URLs Manually as the project creation method and click Next.
  4. Enter the Project Name.
  5. Select the Guideline.

Enterprise users can also configure custom accessibility standards.

    OR
    Upload a CSV file to add multiple URLs.
  7. Verify the pages listed under Your Pages.
  8. Select Next.
  9. Configure Authentication, if the pages require login (Pro and Enterprise only). Learn more about authentication setup
  10. Select Create Project to save the project or select Create and Scan to save the project and start testing immediately.
