Do web designers actually need lightweight accessibility reports for client projects?

B2B SaaS

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to validate a small idea and would appreciate honest input from web designers, freelancers, or small agencies.

When building or maintaining client websites, do you ever run into accessibility-related topics such as:

- poor color contrast

- missing alt text

- unlabeled form fields

- unclear buttons or links

- heading structure issues

- keyboard navigation problems

I’m exploring whether a short, client-friendly accessibility report would be useful.

The idea would be:

- scan a client website for common accessibility issues

- explain the problems in plain English

- prioritize them

- suggest concrete fixes

- make it easier to communicate the issue to non-technical clients

This would not replace a full professional accessibility audit or legal advice.

My questions:

  1. Do clients ever ask you about accessibility?

  2. Do you currently check accessibility before handoff?

  3. Would a short report help you sell fixes or maintenance work?

  4. What would make such a report actually useful?

  5. Would this be a one-off need or something you’d use across multiple client sites?

No link, no pitch. I’m just trying to understand if this is a real workflow problem or just a nice-to-have.
