The Accessibility Checklist by Role

👀 Ask your UX/UI designer

• [ ] Are we meeting WCAG 2.1 AA contrast ratios?
• [ ] Are buttons and touch elements at least 44x44px? (Big enough for all users)
• [ ] Are we respecting WCAG’s line height and spacing guidelines for readability?
• [ ] Do we use icons or text, not just color, to indicate errors or states?
• [ ] Have we defined clear, visible focus styles for keyboard users?
• [ ] Is navigation clear and consistent across the user flows?
• [ ] Is the still interface reasonably usable at 200% zoom?
• [ ] Have we checked if the layout unexpectedly jumps as users interact?
• [ ] Are our downloadable files (manuals, PDFs, etc…) also designed for accessibility?
