1. Does every non-text element on your site (images, videos, etc.) have a text alternative or description for accessibility purposes?

This helps visually impaired users who rely on screen readers to access and understand the content.

2. Are there text transcripts or descriptions available for all pre-recorded audio-only or video-only content?

These transcripts allow deaf and hard of hearing users to access the information contained in these media formats.

3. Is the structure of your content (headings, lists, links) separated from how it's presented visually, allowing users with assistive technologies to understand the content and its organization?

This ensures the content is accessible even if the visual presentation fails or is altered.

4. Is all functionality of the content operable through a keyboard interface without requiring specific timings for individual keystrokes?

This makes your website or app accessible to users who can't or choose not to use a mouse.

5. Does your site use a predictable design, ensuring that navigation and the name, role, value of all interface elements are consistent?

This helps all users, especially those with cognitive disabilities, to understand how to interact with the site and predict what will happen next.

6. Does the site have mechanisms to bypass blocks of content that are repeated on multiple Web pages?

This improves navigation for all users, especially those using screen readers, by allowing them to skip repetitive content.

7. Do all images, form image buttons, and image map hot spots have appropriate, equivalent alternative text?

This ensures that users who can't see the images can understand their function or content.

8. Do color contrasts between text and its background meet WCAG 2.1 AA minimum ratios?

This improves readability for all users, especially those with visual impairments such as color blindness or low vision.

9. Can text (including text embedded in images) be resized up to 200% without loss of content or functionality?

This ensures that users with low vision can enlarge text to a readable size.

10. Are multimedia (audio, videos) provided with synchronized captions for the deaf and hard of hearing?

This allows users who are deaf or hard of hearing to access the content of audio and video media.

11. Is the website fully navigable using keyboard alone?

This ensures that users who cannot or choose not to use a mouse can still navigate and interact with the website.

12. Are there mechanisms to pause, stop, or hide any moving, blinking, scrolling, or auto-updating content?

This helps users who get distracted or overwhelmed by motion on the screen, or who need more time to interact with content.

13. Are page titles descriptive and unique, providing context for the content of each page?

This aids navigation and helps users understand where they are in the website, especially when multiple tabs are open.

14. Is there a clear indication of where the keyboard focus is on the page at all times?

This helps keyboard users understand where they are and what they can do on the page.

15. Does every functionality that's triggered by a mouse hover or mouse click also triggered by a keyboard focus or keyboard press?

This ensures that keyboard users can access all the same information and functionality as mouse users.

16. Is the default human language of each web page programmatically determined and easily discoverable by assistive technologies?

This helps screen readers and other assistive technologies to present content in the correct language.

17. Are all form elements properly labeled, and do they provide error messages to help users correct mistakes?

This helps users understand what information is required and how to fix mistakes when submitting forms.

18. Does the website prevent errors and confirm user input before final submission for any process or transaction?

This helps users avoid making mistakes and gives them confidence in their actions.

19. Is the content of the website written in plain language and the reading level is not advanced than the lower secondary education level, where possible?

This ensures that the content is accessible to users with varying levels of literacy and cognitive abilities.

20. Are all functionalities and content consistent and predictable in their appearance and operation?

This helps users understand how to interact with the website and what to expect.

21. Is the website compatible with current and future user agents, including assistive technologies (e.g., screen readers, speech recognition software)?

This ensures that users with different browsers and technologies can access and use the website.

22. Is the HTML and CSS code used to build the website valid and error-free?

This helps ensure the website works correctly and consistently across different browsers and devices.

23. Are all form inputs and interactive elements properly associated with their labels and instructions?

This helps screen reader users understand the purpose of each form field and how to interact with it.

24. Do all custom user interface components have appropriate names, roles, and values?

This helps screen readers and other assistive technologies present the correct information about these components to users.

25. Is the website designed and built with progressive enhancement in mind, ensuring basic functionality and content accessibility if JavaScript, CSS, or images fail to load?

This ensures the website is accessible even when certain technologies fail or are not supported.
