The Accessibility Checklist by Craft Innovations helps teams design and test more accessible websites and web applications. It brings together 55 accessibility guidelines based on W3C’s WCAG 2.1 and 2.2, ADA recommendations, and insights from WebAIM. Each rule is written in clear language, linked to official sources, and easy to check during audits or reviews.
The checklist covers everything from visual design and contrast to keyboard navigation, multimedia content, and forms. It includes examples and practical notes for designers, UX researchers, developers, and QA specialists performing an accessibility assessment or accessibility audit. These rules are built around the same principles used by accessibility leaders — ensuring your web content is understandable, perceivable, and operable for everyone. Inside:
-
Intro & Key Definitions
-
Visual Design and Perception
-
Multimedia and Content
-
Interactive Elements
-
Navigation and Structure
-
Testing and Validation
You’ll also find explanations of key accessibility terms, testing methods, and references to official standards like W3C, ADA, and WCAG. The document is equally useful for small teams checking a new feature or for organizations preparing for a full accessibility audit. It’s designed to make the complex parts of a11y testing easier to understand and apply.
This checklist is a practical tool to check your digital products for inclusivity — whether you’re validating designs, running usability tests, or reviewing live web content. It turns accessibility guidelines into everyday actions that help you build better, more accessible experiences for all.
