Do web designers actually need lightweight accessibility reports for client projects?
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:
-
Do clients ever ask you about accessibility?
-
Do you currently check accessibility before handoff?
-
Would a short report help you sell fixes or maintenance work?
-
What would make such a report actually useful?
-
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.
