Make your website easier to use
Spot things that can make text, links, pictures, forms or pages harder to use or understand.
Clearer websites. Better experiences.
See your website through your customers' eyes.
Clir checks your website for things that could make it harder to read, use or understand, and for practical information visitors may struggle to find. It shows you where improvements could help and gives you clear, practical guidance on what to do next.
Clir tip
Clir helps you start with the improvements that may be most useful to your visitors.
Help visitors plan with confidence
See whether useful information such as arrival, parking, facilities and what to expect is easy to find.
Know what to do next
Clir explains where something appears and helps separate changes you may be able to make from work your website provider may need to handle.
See how Clir helps
The examples below show how Clir works. Illustrative examples are clearly labelled, and examples from MWT Cymru are marked as real Clir results.
See exactly where Clir found it
You don't have to hunt through your website. Where Clir has enough evidence, it can take you back to the page and show you the relevant place.
Illustrative example
Do first
Make this link clearer
The words Read more do not explain where the link goes when read on their own.
Show me where
Clir shows you where it found the issue.

Help visitors know what to expect
Clir also looks at practical questions visitors may have before they book or travel. These are helpful suggestions, not faults.
Visitor confidence
What happens when I arrive?
Clir found
Check-in from 4pm
Clir couldn't confidently find
What guests should do when they arrive or how they collect the key
Why this could help
Visitors know what to expect before they travel.
A practical improvement
Add a short arrival and check-in section using the facts you can confirm.
Plain English first. Technical detail when you need it.
The business owner sees the practical explanation. The provider brief keeps the useful technical information for whoever looks after the website.

Make this text easier to see against its background
The words Marketing Guides are set in a pale grey on a white background, so the letters are only slightly darker than the page behind them.
Why this may matter
Pale grey text is hard for older eyes, for visitors with reduced vision and for anyone reading on a phone in bright sunlight.
What you can do
Use a darker grey for this text so the words stand out clearly against the white background.

See your website differently
Clir shows a picture of your own page as most visitors see it, next to approximations of how it may appear with different types of colour vision. If a booking button or a price fades away in the second or third picture, that is worth knowing.
Work through your list, one thing at a time
Each recommendation shows the wording Clir found, the colour used now and a colour you could try. How do I fix this? gives plain steps for the way your website is built. If it is not something you want to do yourself, add it to your website provider list.

One change can sometimes improve many pages
When the same thing repeats across your website, Clir groups it so you can deal with the cause rather than working through every page one by one.

Site-wide improvement
The same menu wording appears on every page
When something sits in your template, Clir groups it once and tells you how far it reaches, so one change may improve many pages.
Affects 42 pagesOne change may improve many pages
Know what you can tackle and what to send on
Some changes may be simple enough to do yourself. Others need whoever looks after your website. Clir separates them for you and can create a clear brief to send to your website provider.
You may be able to do this
Wording, picture descriptions, headings and page names you can usually edit yourself.
Website provider brief
Clir gathers the technical items into one document you can download and send on, with the detail your provider needs.

Built around the questions visitors really ask
Clir helps you notice useful information visitors may want before they book or travel, such as parking, arrival details, food and service information, facilities and what to expect when they get there.
These are suggestions, not faults.
Make genuine visitor choices clear
Where your business genuinely gives visitors a choice, making that clear can reduce uncertainty. For example, guests may be able to self check in or arrange to be met.

- Directions and travel
- Check-in times and arrival instructions

- Food and dietary needs

Check again and see what changed
After you make changes, Clir compares the checks and tells you what it can verify. A weaker or incomplete check is never treated as proof that something improved.
Earlier check

Later check
Later check: Clir checks the same evidence again.

Result: one no longer detected, one still needs attention, one couldn't be verified reliably.
A practical starting point, not a certification
Automated checks cannot understand every part of every website. Clir shows what it could and couldn't check, so you can use its guidance alongside your own knowledge of your business and visitors.
