Quick Start for Evaluating and Testing Web Accessibility

on YouTube ↗56m

" summary

Workshop lays out a repeatable evaluation flow: set scope and sample, use discovery tools to find issues, then inspect with DevTools to locate the failing HTML. Key tools include screen readers (JAWS ~54%, NVDA ~31%, VoiceOver iOS ~72%), automated site audits like Pope Tech, and the WAVE browser extension to bridge UX and code. Contrast requires many checks (hover/focus/graphics), zoom testing up to 400% zoom matters, alt text needs human judgment, ARIA can produce massive failures (examples over 1,300 issues).
