Accessibility Audit & Remediation Playbook
Feb 5, 2025
Why teams choose this
Small teams need a clear read on WCAG 2.2 AA gaps without a 50-page PDF that collects dust. This audit is meant to be used, not archived.
Discovery
- Inconsistent heading structure and missing form labels in the intake flow.
- Low-contrast buttons and unclear focus states across the nav.
- Team needed a report they could action immediately, not just a list of failures.
Engagement Focus
- Review the key paths (homepage, forms, checkout/intake, resources) against WCAG 2.2 AA.
- Log each issue with a screenshot, plain-language summary, who it impacts, and the exact WCAG criterion.
- Pair each finding with a ready-to-use fix: code example, priority, and owner/ETA fields so you can assign work fast.
- Walk through the report on a short Loom so everyone sees what to change and why.
How the report is structured
- Issue → Impact → WCAG criterion: every entry maps to the exact 2.2 AA rule it breaks.
- Remediation-ready: includes the change to make (HTML/CSS/ARIA) plus links to examples.
- Prioritized: grouped by severity and effort so you know what to tackle first.
- Action-friendly: delivered as a sortable sheet and a short Loom, not a static PDF.
Early outcomes
- Teams fix the critical issues inside a sprint because the steps are already spelled out.
- Stakeholders get proof of which WCAG 2.2 AA criteria were addressed.
- Form and intake completion rates improve after labels, focus styles, and error messaging are cleaned up.
