2. Introduction
First of all, I would like to welcome you to our web accessibility audit presentation. In the
digital age, providing adequate accessibility is a critical factor in achieving both
inclusiveness and compliance. Now, we shall take a closer look at the auditing process of
web accessibility.
3. Understanding Accessibility
Accessible Web means that websites and web applications are usable for every individual,
including disabled persons. Important standards are for example the WCAG 2.1 and Section
508 and these guidelines lay out how digital content should be accessible. Non-compliance
with the set standards means that people with disabilities are unable to access vital
information and services.
4. Developing the Audit Plan
The first step in the process of an ADA accessibility audit is to do a well-designed and focused
planning. Find out the stakeholders, set objectives that are clear, and specify the boundaries
of the audit. Define what web pages, technologies, and compliance requirements will be
assessed, thus, the evaluation will be comprehensive.
5. To conduct the audit
The web accessibility audit consists of automated and manual testing methods which will be
implemented throughout the process. Manual testing gives us thorough accessibility. By using
Axe, WAVE, or Lighthouse, you can save time and effort in detecting the mainstream issues.
Testing needs to be carried out on a variety of devices and assistive technologies that are
accessible to the widest audience.
6. Documenting Findings
Documenting findings is very important for knowing the history of accessibility issues and
pinpointing the remediation of them as well. Prepare a comprehensive report on each
accessibility barrier that is uncovered in the audit. Establish the order of priority as per the
severity and the impact the problems can have on users with disabilities.
7. Elimination and Action
Collaboration involving developers, designers, and other role players is necessary to come
up with solutions. Solve the problems that were found and work further towards increased
accessibility. Remind the audience of the need for accessibility improvements to be iterative
since ongoing testing and reflection are crucial components of the compliance process.
