Product Description

Your job done properly from the start Baked right into the software you love to use, Stark empowers you to design with accessibility in mind from conception of brand to fruition of product.

How do you position yourself against your competitors?

Stark intentionally started in the design space because there was major unfilled gap, and majority of accessibility issues originate here.

Stark's approach is the only one that can lead to significant improvements at the speed and scale of modern software development in organizations.

No other competitor comes close to the quality of tooling and user base Stark has captured.

Additionally, Stark enterprise-grade software (zero-trust, SOC2 certified) with consumer-like ease of use.

What do you like best about Stark?

Stark is revolutionizing our design and development processes. This application inspires us to do things right, offering simplicity and effectiveness. I couldn't ask for more.

Accessibility had never been a focus for our product until Stark. Through this tool, we've learned the importance of accessibility and how to integrate it into our daily processes.

Stark is a solid application and a company with immense potential. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stark?

While Stark is a solid application with immense potential, I do have one suggestion for improvement. It would be fantastic to see tools for screen readers or other accessibility requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Stark solving and how is that benefiting you?

Stark is making us realize that accessibility is not just another requirement, but a way to stay true to our company's values and ethics of inclusion.

The biggest advantage we gain from Stark is the ability to quickly verify the accessibility of our design system. We can easily check contrast, clickable areas, typography, and more. This has significantly improved our workflow and ensured that our designs are accessible to everyone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Stark?

Stark seamlessly integrates into my design program, making on-the-fly adjustments not only easy but also intuitive. It takes the guesswork out of contrast, typography, and proximity padding, allowing me to focus on design while ensuring accessibility compliance. The built-in vision simulator is an invaluable tool, offering a clear and straightforward reference for how users will perceive photos, colors, and more. This is my go-to ADA tool.

What do you dislike about Stark?

What do you like best about Stark?

Stark is simple to use but plenty of tools to help my design process. On every project, I always use the contrast tool to make sure all my color combinations are correct.Not only does it tell me about the current combination, but it also tells me which similar color might fit better Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stark?

When I use the contrast tool, sometimes didn't recognize the color of the text. However, it's easy to solve using the colour picker Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Stark solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps me to find better combinations of colors to make sure all my users can read the information in my interface Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Stark?

I love how easy it is to make sure my designs meet accessibility standards. I use the plugin on Figma and it is a game changer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stark?

A few of their fancy features are behind a paywall, but that is understandable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Stark solving and how is that benefiting you?

Stark is helping me solve an accessibility issue, specificially that of color contrast. It is crucial that important elements are able to be viewed by all, regardless of seeing ability. Stark's contrast checker helps me make sure my designs won't leave anyone uncertain or hanging. Good color contrast (making sure screen elements can be seen and understood) is a hallmark of digital accessibility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stark?

So far, nothing! Its been a breeze to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Stark solving and how is that benefiting you?

The contrast checking tool has been a game changer when reviewing final designs for text and image visibility. Its been a helpful final assessment for me to make sure my digital products are accessible and meeting WCAG standards before going live with a product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Stark?

I mostly use the Figma Stark plugin to check the designs I create for the company I work in. It has a lot of unique features that helps me really get the accessibility right, like the vision emulation (to check, for example, color blindness and touch targets). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stark?

The feature I least use is the auto fix because I sometimes feel like I'm losing control over the designs; I prefer to check the different aspects one by one to make sure I don't miss anything and I can improve the overall design in a structured way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Stark solving and how is that benefiting you?

Checking the accessibility of web apps I'm designing in Figma. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Stark?

The Stark plugin for Figma is a game-changer for color accessibility in UX design. Its streamlined interface and powerful contrast analysis features ensure that my designs meet the highest standards of inclusivity. It seamlessly integrates into Figma, making it an essential tool for any UX designer. I appreciate how easy it is to understand and implement, enabling me to use it confidently and frequently in my design process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stark?

One aspect that I find inconvenient is the inability to copy and paste color values directly from the plugin. This limitation often requires me to memorize or take screenshots of the values to manually transcribe them into my design. The ability to copy and paste values would greatly streamline the workflow and improve productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Stark solving and how is that benefiting you?

Ensuring Accessibility: Stark helps me identify potential issues with color contrast that may hinder readability or accessibility for users with visual impairments. By highlighting problematic color combinations, it allows me to make informed design decisions to ensure that my designs are accessible to a wider range of users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Cat Noone of Stark

Hey Sanna!

Thank you for leaving this review. You said: "One aspect that I find inconvenient is the inability to copy and paste color values directly from the plugin." → can you say more about this? Right now in the contrast checker you can indeed grab the value of a particular color — even after selecting a new suggestion.

Would love to know what you're experiencing so we can dive into that!
