pagestocompliant

Pagestocompliant is a workflow and set of practices aimed at ensuring web pages conform to established accessibility and regulatory standards before publication. The term is used in web development and digital accessibility communities to describe both the goal of achieving conformance and the processes used to verify it. While not an official standard itself, it encompasses compliance with widely accepted guidelines such as the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), as well as jurisdiction-specific requirements such as Section 508 in the United States or equivalent local laws.

Typical components include audit, remediation, verification, and documentation. Audits combine automated checks (color contrast, semantic markup, proper heading structure, keyboard operability) with manual evaluation (screen reader testing, cognitive load assessment). Remediation involves correcting markup, upgrading components to accessible patterns, adding alt text, ensuring focus management, and improving performance. Verification uses repeat checks and sign-off from stakeholders and may integrate into continuous integration pipelines to catch regressions. Documentation provides evidence of conformance mapping to standards and a record of issues resolved.

Pagestocompliant is often adopted by web agencies, government portals, educational websites, and organizations that must demonstrate adherence to accessibility and compliance requirements. Benefits include improved user experience for a broader audience, reduced legal and reputational risk, and better search engine optimization through cleaner structure and semantics. Limitations include that accessibility is context-dependent and evolving; pagestocompliant is an ongoing process requiring updates as standards change. It is complementary to inclusive design and user testing and is commonly implemented as part of a broader conformance plan or accessibility program.
