Website Accessibility Checklist

Review structure, keyboard use, focus, contrast, forms, media and responsive behaviour using WCAG 2.2 AA good-practice themes.

For: Content owners, designers and developers reviewing a public website.

Section 01

Structure and navigation

  • Use one clear H1 and a logical heading hierarchy.
  • Provide a skip link and meaningful page landmarks.
  • Make menus, disclosures and dialogs operable with a keyboard.
  • Write link text that makes sense without surrounding context.

Section 02

Content and perception

  • Check text and important interface contrast.
  • Provide meaningful alternative text, or mark decorative images appropriately.
  • Do not use colour alone to communicate status or required action.
  • Support text resizing and responsive reflow without horizontal loss.

Section 03

Forms and motion

  • Give every control a programmatic name and useful autocomplete token.
  • Associate instructions and errors with the affected fields.
  • Announce result, loading and error states without unexpectedly moving focus.
  • Respect reduced-motion preferences and avoid time pressure where possible.
