Compliance reporting
After finding accessibility issues, you need a clear plan to fix them. A good plan helps your team make improvements in a logical order rather than randomly tackling problems.
When creating your implementation plan, follow these steps:
- Sort issues by how severely they affect users and how hard they are to fix
- Group similar problems that can be fixed with the same solution
- Create a realistic timeline with clear deadlines for each improvement
- Assign specific people to be responsible for different types of fixes
- Set clear goals so you know when each fix is successfully completed
- Make accessibility testing a regular part of your development process
- Plan training sessions to fill the knowledge gaps you discovered during the audit
- Schedule follow-up checks to make sure the improvements actually work
Write your plan in a format that's easy to track as work moves forward. Include extra time for unexpected problems that might come up. Remember that improving accessibility isn't a one-time project. Your plan should create lasting habits that keep your product accessible over time.
