Useful by design
Make the next accessibility decision with evidence.
Direct answer
The page starts with a practical answer instead of a generic accessibility essay.
Decision support
Compare what can be fixed quickly with what needs manual review or provider help.
Snapshot path
Use the page to decide which public URL should be checked first.
Clear limit
Automation signals are treated as triage, not as a complete audit or legal conclusion.
Direct answer
A practical WCAG 2.2 checklist should cover text alternatives, captions, contrast, keyboard access, focus visibility, error handling, consistent navigation, valid semantics, and compatibility with assistive technologies.
Reader intent
Choose the next step this guide should feed.
This saves a local routing preference for the next snapshot or request. It does not submit your details or share anything with a partner.
Practical use
Use this page to move from concern to action.
Start with evidence, decide what needs manual review, then choose the least confusing next step.
Baseline
Run a public-page snapshot and record what was checked.
Review
Manually test the critical visitor paths automation cannot verify.
Plan
Assign fixes, documentation, monitoring, support ownership, and provider questions.
Example review scenario
A business owner starts with the public homepage, then follows the path a visitor actually uses: navigation, forms, media, documents, checkout or contact, error states, and support information. The best output is a dated remediation plan with clear ownership.
Perceivable
Provide useful alt text for meaningful images.
Caption prerecorded video and provide transcripts for audio-heavy content.
Maintain adequate color contrast and avoid color-only meaning.
Operable
Make all functionality keyboard accessible.
Keep focus indicators visible and predictable.
Avoid traps in menus, modals, drawers, and embedded widgets.
Understandable And Robust
Use clear labels and helpful error messages.
Keep navigation consistent.
Use semantic HTML and ARIA only when needed.
Decision path
Use these links to move from research to evidence, then from evidence to a responsible remediation option.
Requirements vary by law, contract, and organization. WCAG 2.2 is the current W3C recommendation, while some rules and policies specifically reference WCAG 2.1 AA.
Should I target WCAG 2.1 or WCAG 2.2?
Many teams use WCAG 2.1 AA as a legal baseline where referenced, then adopt WCAG 2.2 practices because they improve current usability and future readiness.
