Critical ADA/WCAG checklist.
If any of these are missing, you’re inviting complaints, lost users, or demand letters.
- Color contrast and readable text sizes (avoid ultra-light grays and tiny fonts).
- Keyboard-only access to nav, forms, modals, sliders, and accordions.
- Visible focus states on all interactive elements.
- Alt text for meaningful images; skip links at the top of pages.
- Captions/transcripts for audio/video; avoid auto-play with sound.
- Forms with labeled inputs, clear errors, and instructions.
- ARIA landmarks and proper heading order for screen readers.
- No motion traps: provide reduce-motion options and stop/pause controls.
Risk reality
Act now
Demand letters and accessibility suits often start with obvious misses: contrast, focus, forms, and media.
- Run a quick audit: contrast, tab order, focus, forms, alt text, and video captions.
- Deploy our free ADA widget to give users immediate control while you fix underlying issues.
- Log and prioritize fixes by severity and user impact.
- Re-test after every launch; accessibility breaks easily.
