WCAG 2.2 playbook for product teams

WCAG 2.2 · Playbook

Six themes that produce most consumer-journey findings — and how to fix them.

A label for every input, autocomplete value, error messages to screen readers, required fields marked.

Visible focus on every interactive element. No outline:none without a replacement. Sensible focus order.

At least 4.5:1 for body text, 3:1 for large text and component edges. Re-check helper and disabled states.

Respect prefers-reduced-motion. Don't rely on animation alone to signal state.

One h1 per page, logical heading hierarchy, landmark roles, a skip-to-content link.

All actions keyboard-operable. No keyboard traps. ESC closes modals. Tab order is sensible.

Ready to turn accessibility into an evidence trail?

The pilot audit covers one service, 2–3 critical journeys, a backlog, a statement draft, and 30 days of monitoring.
