Accessibility Evaluation for Amazon

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) are crucial for designers to be familiar with when designing a website.

WCAG Version 2.2 with AA conformance includes fifty-five Success Criteria. To conduct this evaluation, three pages were observed: the Home Page, a Product Page, and the Checkout Page. Each page was analyzed for all fifty-five criteria on a pass/fail basis.

Two semi-automatic evaluation tools were used to assist in my evaluation: WAVE and ANDI

  • Hire an accessibility team

  • Conduct periodic accessibility audits
