The Minimum 
“Accessibility For Designer” 
Baseline Checklist - A4 Poster

About this resource

Many accessibility issues can be caught and avoided in the design phase. And, I want to help you with that. 

I’ve built this 27 points checklist as a foundation guide. I listed the most important elements designers should check and document, to build more accessible products and services. While it doesn't cover everything, it provides a solid starting point for identifying common issues early on. 

Print the A4 poster (on the PDF file) and keep it on your desk! 

I integrated only 27 points in this list. These alone won't guarantee full accessibility for a website. It’s a baseline, for when you don’t have time and still want to do the right thing. It’s the bare minimum to make impactful decisions, even when time and resources are limited.

For more information about each point, check A Designer’s Guide to Documenting Accessibility & User Interactions

And, remember, small steps toward accessibility can bring significant benefits for all users!

If you want to dig further, I recommend exploring Web Accessibility Toolkit for Designers. It also includes templates and resources to help you understand accessibility guidelines and document them. Please note that this Minimum “Accessibility For Designer” Baseline Checklist - A4 Poster is already included in the full Web Accessibility Toolkit for Designers, so, if you go for the full toolkit, you don't need to get this resource.
