WEBSITE ACCESSIBILITY REVIEW · Workflow idea

Help every visitor understand the images on your site.

Review images on a selected website for missing or unhelpful text descriptions, then prepare concise suggestions for a content owner. Keep each suggestion alongside its page and image source, consider the image’s purpose and surrounding content, and require a person to verify the wording before it is added to a live site.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps website teams find opportunities to make visual content more understandable to people using assistive technology.

  1. Select pages for review

    Choose the website pages and content area the owner has approved for an accessibility check.

  2. Find missing or unclear image descriptions

    List images whose existing text may be absent, too brief, repetitive, or unrelated to the image’s purpose.

  3. Prepare contextual description suggestions

    Draft concise wording that communicates useful visual information without repeating nearby text unnecessarily.

  4. Check each image with a person

    Have a content owner review the actual image, page context, and proposed wording for accuracy and usefulness.

  5. Approve changes before they reach the website

    Require an authorized editor to approve each exact description and page destination before updating published content.

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A source-linked list of image-description suggestions, with each proposed change awaiting a content owner’s approval.

The handoff

A source-linked list of image-description suggestions, with each proposed change awaiting a content owner’s approval.

Keep in mind

A description should reflect an image’s purpose in context; an incorrect or repetitive description can make a page harder to use. Have a person inspect each image and surrounding text, write concise and useful wording, and approve the exact page change before it is published. This review supports accessibility work but does not establish compliance on its own.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose the website and pages in scope

Identify the site owner, target pages, and content areas included in the review.

Set description and accessibility guidance

Agree on concise, contextual writing expectations and identify images that should be treated as decorative.

Keep audit material access-limited

Share page details and unpublished suggestions only with the people responsible for accessibility and content review.

Assign content owners and approvers

Name who checks each image and who may approve changes to published page content.
