Passive (instant scan)
Images have descriptive alt text
WCAG 2.1 SC 1.1.1 requires text alternatives for non-text content so screen readers can convey meaning. Missing alt text is the single most-cited issue in ADA Title III website lawsuits.
Site is fully navigable by keyboard
SC 2.1.1 requires all functionality to be operable via a keyboard. Mouse-only menus, traps, and drag-only interactions block users of switch devices and screen readers.
Text has sufficient color contrast ratio (4.5:1 minimum)
SC 1.4.3 requires a 4.5:1 contrast ratio for normal text (3:1 for large text). Insufficient contrast is the most-cited automated-scan finding in demand letters.
All form fields have associated accessible labels
SC 3.3.2 requires every form input to have a programmatically associated label. Placeholder-only inputs are non-compliant because the label disappears on focus.
Skip navigation link present for screen readers
SC 2.4.1 requires a mechanism to bypass repeated content. A "Skip to main content" link as the first focusable element is the standard implementation expected by assistive-tech users.

Understanding WCAG and ADA Title III
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) provide a framework for making web content more accessible to people with disabilities. ADA Title III complements these guidelines by prohibiting discrimination against individuals with disabilities in places of public accommodation, including websites.
Who It Applies To
WCAG and ADA Title III apply to any business or organization that operates a website or digital platform offering goods or services to the public. This includes retail stores, service providers, educational institutions, and non-profit organizations.
Key Requirements
Perceivable: Information and user interface components must be presented in ways that users can perceive.
Operable: User interface components must be operable by all users, including those using assistive technologies.
Understandable: Information and operation of the user interface must be understandable to users.
Robust: Content must be robust enough to be interpreted reliably by a wide variety of user agents, including assistive technologies.
Penalties for Non-Compliance
Failure to comply with WCAG and ADA Title III can result in legal action, including lawsuits and fines. Businesses may also face reputational damage and loss of customer trust.
