Accessibility evaluation
A structured review of how a website or app does against WCAG, done by people using assistive technology, not only a scan.
An accessibility evaluation, also called an audit, assessment, or review, is a structured check of a product against WCAG. People who did not build it work through real tasks with a keyboard, a screen reader, and magnification, run automated tools, and record each barrier: where it is, which success criterion it fails, who it affects, and how to fix it. The W3C’s evaluation overview says no tool alone can determine if a site meets accessibility standards and that knowledgeable human evaluation is required.
The result is the baseline for remediation, the evidence behind an accessibility statement or an ACR, and the record a team can show when a customer, buyer, or regulator asks. WCAG-EM is the W3C’s methodology for doing one on a whole site.
