Use Case
Figma accessibility plugins can check color contrast and font sizing in your designs, but they cannot test keyboard navigation, screen reader compatibility, focus management, or semantic HTML — issues that only exist in the implemented code. A complete UX audit bridges this gap: design in Figma, build to HTML, audit with VertaaUX, and catch the full spectrum of usability and accessibility issues before shipping.
Catch issues that design review plugins miss — keyboard navigation, focus order, screen reader compatibility, and semantic HTML.
Go beyond accessibility to evaluate usability, clarity, information architecture, performance, visual design, and mobile responsiveness.
Get specific code patches for each issue, with confidence scores and sandboxed verification — not just descriptions of problems.
Create your designs with accessibility in mind — check color contrast, font sizes, touch targets, and heading hierarchy using Figma accessibility plugins.
Export or build the design as HTML/CSS and deploy to a staging URL. This is where semantic HTML, ARIA attributes, and keyboard navigation get implemented.
Run VertaaUX against the staging URL. Get a 7-dimension score with specific issues, CSS selectors, WCAG criteria references, and AI-generated fix suggestions.
Apply fixes using AI-generated patches. Re-audit to confirm resolution. Set up CI/CD integration to catch regressions on every pull request.
To audit a Figma design, export or deploy it as HTML/CSS (using tools like Anima, Locofy, or manual implementation), then run VertaaUX against the deployed URL. VertaaUX evaluates the rendered output across seven dimensions — usability, clarity, information architecture, accessibility, performance, visual design, and mobile responsiveness — catching issues that static design reviews miss.
VertaaUX audits rendered web pages, not Figma files directly. The recommended workflow is: design in Figma, implement or export to HTML, deploy to a staging URL, and audit with VertaaUX. This catches both design-level issues (color contrast, hierarchy) and implementation issues (missing alt text, keyboard navigation, ARIA attributes) in a single pass.
In Figma, you can catch color contrast failures, font size and readability issues, touch target sizing, heading hierarchy problems, and missing text alternatives for images. However, many critical accessibility issues — keyboard navigation, screen reader compatibility, focus management, and ARIA attribute correctness — can only be tested in the implemented HTML. VertaaUX catches both categories.
Audit at both stages. In Figma, use accessibility plugins to check contrast and sizing early. After implementation, run VertaaUX to catch the full range of issues including keyboard navigation, focus order, screen reader behavior, and semantic HTML structure. Catching issues early in design saves development time; catching issues after implementation prevents shipping inaccessible code.
