Accessibility includes many kinds of use, and a short check cannot cover them all. It can still reveal obvious barriers before a page reaches more readers. Begin with one important task rather than an attempt to inspect everything at once.
Try moving through that task with a keyboard. Increase the text size, narrow the window, and inspect whether labels and focus remain visible. Look at the information conveyed by images and color, and whether it is available another way.
Record the specific barrier and the action it interrupts. That makes a finding easier to repair and retest. Formal guidance and testing with people add depth that a quick checklist cannot provide on its own.
Imagine a practical setting.
Imagine viewing a form in bright daylight with only its labels visible clearly. Information should not depend on a faint border or color alone.
Before the next experiment.
A page has relationships as well as appearances. Make sure its structure still communicates those relationships when the layout changes or decoration disappears.
- Choose an important reader task.
- Try keyboard and enlarged-text use.
- Record a concrete barrier to revisit.
