Request access to our Shift Left with Accessibility Checklist – a six-page checklist for building more accessible websites.
This checklist is intended to help teams launch more accessible websites faster with fewer remediation items left at the end of the project, a.k.a., shifting accessibility earlier in the website design and development process so it is not left for the end.

How the Shift Left with Accessibility Checklist Helps
This checklist breaks down accessibility throughout the new website design and development process.
Accessibility is not just the responsibility of the dev team.
Every person working on a website project can control the final accessibility of the product. This is equally true whether you’re the project manager planning the project process, a designer creating designs, the developer writing code, or a content specialist creating content.
Making the websites you build accessible doesn’t have to cost a fortune or be overwhelming. You can make them accessible, one fix or change at a time. This checklist will help you incorporate accessibility best practices into your projects as many micro tasks throughout rather than one large phase at the end.
