An accessibility workflow is a structured set of steps and practices that ensure that digital products are accessible to all users, including people with disabilities.
Here is a detailed definition of an accessibility workflow.
Example of a workflow
- Planning: defining accessibility goals based on relevant standards (e.g., WCAG) and involving different professionals (designers, developers, testers) and, if possible, users with disabilities
- Research and Analysis: understanding user needs and identifying applicable accessibility standards and guidelines
- Design: iterations on wireframes and draft designs so as to eliminate potential major problems
- Development: indication of best practices for writing code and adherence to accessibility guidelines. Ongoing iterations with the development team
- Training and Awareness: ongoing training to the team on accessibility and inclusivity as well as promoting a culture of accessibility within the organization
- Monitoring: collecting feedback from users after launch and performing regular audits to ensure that the product remains accessible over time
This is just a generic outline. The workflow is always defined according to the needs and possibilities of the organization.
