5 Questions Your Board Should Ask About Website Accessibility

← All articles

October 16, 2026

For organizations covered by Ontario’s website rule, accessibility is both a legal and customer-access concern. Leadership should review evidence rather than rely on a score or certificate alone.

Five questions

  • Which pages and interactions have been reviewed, against which standard, and on what date?
  • Who is responsible when content or software changes?
  • Have forms and key journeys been tested by keyboard and screen reader?
  • Does our accessibility plan accurately describe actual policies, progress and known barriers?
  • Has the authorized report certifier reviewed all applicable organizational duties, not just website work?

A useful first step

A free automated scan can identify some potential issues. Fortress crawls up to 500 discoverable same-host pages with HTML checks; Google mobile PageSpeed runs on the submitted URL only. A full conformance evaluation needs human review.
