Key takeaways
- • Website accessibility should support a measurable business goal.
- • Early decisions are cheaper to validate than late corrections.
- • A focused release plan makes progress visible to stakeholders.
- • Ongoing measurement turns launch data into better decisions.
Define the business need
Website accessibility starts by giving product and content teams a clear decision to make. CodeActivv turns that decision into a practical scope, with assumptions, owners, and measurable outcomes documented before work begins.
At the "define the business need" stage of website accessibility, test the plan against real customer behavior and operational constraints. That keeps effort focused on the change most likely to create value.
Assess the current position
Website accessibility starts by giving product and content teams a clear decision to make. CodeActivv turns that decision into a practical scope, with assumptions, owners, and measurable outcomes documented before work begins.
A staged website accessibility approach reduces delivery risk for product and content teams during "assess the current position." Review evidence regularly and adjust the next release while change is still affordable.
Prioritize the work

At the "prioritize the work" stage of website accessibility, test the plan against real customer behavior and operational constraints. That keeps effort focused on the change most likely to create value.
- • Use meaningful heading structure.
- • Test keyboard-only journeys.
- • Provide clear form feedback.

- • Provide clear form feedback.
- • Check color contrast.
- • Include people with access needs in testing.
Keep improving
