A full lifecycle, not just a website scan

SaaS accessibility spans more than the marketing site this checklist covers the whole product surface.

Governance & Procurement

Ownership, policy, VPAT/ACR prep, and vendor risk for embedded third-party tools.

02

Design & Build

WCAG POUR principles applied across the app shell, forms, dashboards, and mobile.

03

SaaS-Specific Surfaces

Billing, exports, in-app notifications, white-label theming, and developer docs.

04

Test, Launch & Monitor

Automated + manual QA, evidence documentation, and a continuous compliance cadence.
