Go through the checklist and check the "Needs Repair" box as appropriate. When you finish, click the "Get Summary" button to generate a report that summarizes accessibility issues in your Web pages, recommends solutions, and provides links to code examples that you can use to fix potential problems.

The checklist is based on UW-Madison's Policy Governing World Wide Web Accessibility. It covers a requirement specific to UW-Madison and the standards of Section 508 of the Federal Rehabilitation Act that apply to Web page design.

Note that this checklist is not an automated site-evaluation tool. Tools such as Bobby can help you identify problems based on HTML markup, but they are no substitute for manual checking. Automated tools cannot, for example, detect if text equivalents are meaningful or discern if a page relies solely on color to convey information.
