The method
Use this prompt in ChatGPT after providing a URL. It analyzes the site against WCAG guidelines. Refine your request by specifying the WCAG version (e.g., 2.1, 2.2) and desired conformance level (A, AA, AAA).
The prompts
Prompt 1
Analyze the website at [URL] for WCAG [version, e.g., 2.1] conformance at level [A, AA, or AAA]. Provide a detailed report outlining any violations, suggested remediation steps, and the specific WCAG guideline that is being violated. Structure the report with clear headings for each category (e.g., Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, Robust). Include code examples where applicable to illustrate the violation and the recommended fix. Furthermore, include a severity rating (High, Medium, Low) for each violation based on its potential impact on users with disabilities. Prioritize violations that prevent users from accessing key website functionalities. Consider aspects like alt text for images, keyboard navigation, color contrast, and ARIA attributes. Finally, create a summary table at the begining of the report with the total number of violations per category and the highest severity found.
Prompt 2
You are a web accessibility expert. I need you to audit the website located at [URL]. Your goal is to identify any issues that prevent people with disabilities from accessing content or using functionality. Conduct a WCAG [version, e.g., 2.2] audit and prepare a report. The report should include an executive summary, a detailed description of each violation found, the specific WCAG guideline violated, the severity (Critical, High, Moderate, Low), suggested fixes (including code examples if applicable), and the location of the violation on the page (e.g., specific HTML element or component). The report should also include an overall accessibility score for the website and compare it to industry best practices. Pay attention to aspects like screen reader compatibility, keyboard navigation, color contrast, form accessibility, and the proper use of ARIA attributes. Deliver the report in Markdown format. Include a section on testing methodologies used, such as automated testing tools and manual testing techniques with assistive technology (like NVDA or VoiceOver).
