The Problem
Inaccessible websites create real barriers for people with disabilities, limiting access to information, services, education, and employment. When a site doesn’t work well with screen readers, keyboard navigation, captions, or sufficient color contrast, users may struggle to find content, complete forms, or carry out everyday tasks online. Making a website accessible addresses this problem on multiple levels: it honors the dignity and rights of disabled users, supports compliance with disability laws and web standards, and reduces the risk of complaints or legal action. At the same time, accessible design improves usability for everyone, strengthens your brand’s reputation, and opens your content to a wider audience—including people using mobile devices, assistive technologies, or slow internet—ultimately expanding your reach and impact.

Process
For this project, I first identified WCAG 2.2 A and AA as the accessibility benchmarks for my site, then selected key pages and user flows to review. I combined automated testing tools with manual checks—keyboard-only navigation, screen reader testing, and visual review of structure, contrast, and alt text—to capture both technical and real-world usability barriers. Finally, I documented each issue with examples, severity ratings, and clear, prioritized recommendations to guide remediation and ongoing accessibility improvements.

Deliverables
Deliverables for this project included a detailed accessibility audit report summarizing findings by WCAG 2.2 A/AA criteria, user impact, and priority level, along with annotated screenshots to clearly illustrate each issue.
