Web Accessibility Checklist
Website: [URL] · Reviewed by: [Name] · Date: [Date] · Standard: [WCAG 2.1 AA, or applicable version]
Perceivable
[ ] All images have meaningful alt text (or empty alt for decorative images) [ ] Video content has captions [ ] Color is not the only way information is conveyed [ ] Text has sufficient contrast against its background (4.5:1 for normal text)
Operable
[ ] All functionality is accessible via keyboard alone (no mouse required) [ ] No content flashes more than 3 times per second (seizure risk) [ ] Users can navigate via clear headings and landmarks [ ] Forms have visible focus indicators
Understandable
[ ] Form fields have clear, associated labels [ ] Error messages clearly describe how to fix the issue [ ] Navigation is consistent across pages [ ] Reading level is reasonably clear for the target audience
Robust
[ ] HTML validates and uses semantic elements correctly [ ] Site works with common screen readers (tested with at least one — e.g. NVDA, VoiceOver) [ ] ARIA attributes are used correctly, only where native HTML isn't sufficient
Documentation
[ ] Accessibility statement published on the site [ ] Known issues and remediation timeline documented, if full compliance isn't yet achieved

In the US, website accessibility lawsuits under the ADA have increased sharply — an actual screen-reader test (not just an automated scanning tool) catches real usability problems that automated checkers routinely miss.*
