web accessibility

Step 1 · How-to

Web Accessibility: Practical Guide

Make a website usable by people with different abilities and assistive technologies. A narrow first pass makes it easier to see whether the method works before applying it more widely.

Step 2 · Checklist

Web Accessibility: Checklist

Use this web accessibility checklist before a new release, a handoff, or a scheduled review. Its purpose is to verify the decisions that affect resolved barriers in critical journeys. Check an actual page or interaction record; a box marked complete without evidence does not show that the customer journey works.

Step 3 · Worksheet

Web Accessibility: Template and Field Guide

This web accessibility template turns a broad task into a record another person can use. It captures component, barrier, test, then connects that information to a decision. Copy the table into your working document or system and create a separate record for each item in scope.

Step 4 · Examples

Web Accessibility: Worked Examples

The following web accessibility examples illustrate how to move from an observed problem to a practical decision. They are hypothetical operating scenarios, not customer results or performance benchmarks. The central question is whether the work helps improve resolved barriers in critical journeys without losing the context needed to judge it.

Step 5 · Procedure

Web Accessibility: Team Workflow and Handoff

A team workflow for web accessibility needs more than a list of tasks. Each person should know what to receive, what to produce, and what evidence allows the next person to continue. Use the procedure below to make responsibilities explicit and keep resolved barriers in critical journeys connected to the work.

Step 6 · Automation

Web Accessibility: Automation Workflow

A web accessibility automation workflow should handle repeatable preparation and record movement while preserving the decisions that require context. Start by defining a reliable trigger around a page or interaction record. Then specify the required information, the permitted action, and what happens when the conditions are not met.

Step 7 · Prioritization

Web Accessibility: How to Prioritize the Work

Prioritize web accessibility work by connecting an observed problem with the people or business outcomes it affects. The objective is to make a website usable by people with different abilities and assistive technologies. Give the team a short ordered queue with a reason for each decision, rather than treating every suggestion as equally urgent.

Step 8 · Evaluation

Web Accessibility: Review Process

A useful web accessibility review ends with a supported decision for each item examined. Define the evidence required before opening the report: component, barrier, test, repair. These fields give reviewers a shared basis for agreeing what is working, what needs attention, and who should act.

Step 9 · Measurement

Web Accessibility: Metrics and Measurement

Measure web accessibility by defining resolved barriers in critical journeys precisely enough that two people can reproduce the result from the same records. Keep the reporting unit, date basis, and scope visible. Without those definitions, a change in the report may reflect a changed calculation rather than a changed customer outcome.

Step 10 · Mistakes

Web Accessibility: Mistakes and How to Fix Them

A common failure in web accessibility is assuming an automated score proves every interaction is accessible. The consequences often appear later, when someone tries to act on incomplete or misleading information. This guide explains how to recognize the failure, correct the immediate problem, and prevent it from becoming a repeated working practice.
