Perform an accessibility review on your website

Important:

This information is intended for web developers, providing a holistic process for performing an initial pass of evaluating your website for accessibility. This is not a substitute for performing a complete Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 AA site evaluation, but following this full process will capture most of the WCAG 2.0 AA Guidelines more efficiently.

It is impossible to meet the website accessibility standards in IU's Americans with Disabilities Act Policy (UA-02) using only automated tools.

This review process consists of seven stages, which should be followed in order:

  1. Visually inspect web pages for accessibility
  2. Check keyboard access and visual focus on web pages
  3. Use automated tools to review accessibility
  4. Use a screen reader to evaluate a website
  5. Check color contrast on a website
  6. Check zoom and magnification for web accessibility
  7. Inspect website code for accessibility

For questions or consultations, email the User Experience Office's accessibility team.
